"rocked the music industry"? more like "farted in the presence of the music industry". and it wasn't even a very loud fart.still a good album though :)

Musicians and garden centres...a great idea...and what better way to highlight the new musical revolution that's currently sweeping in the country...Straight HedgeBut is there any truth in the rumour that the Eden Project will be releasing 1000 limited edition Jack White garden gnomes complete with fishing rods to co-incide with this shindig ?
