It’s the annual piece of self-indulgence as the itm? writers choose their favourites. But we feel it’s only fair that you, dear reader, should get the opportunity of right to reply.

13th Note (04/10/2008)
We are right cockahoop to be welcoming back the fabulous Spookey from Hammamatsu, Japan. They walk like the Shangri-las and talk like the Ramones. This band should be made available on the NHS.
