The Midlake LateNightTales comp is blimming, blooming marvellous assuming you like a bit of the auld folky dolky, and who doesn’t eh?

Like you need me to tell you that Adam Curtis is a man worth listening to. It’s taken me a while, too long in fact, to work through an entry on Rupert Murdoch that was posted by Adam on 30 Jan 2011.
