The infamous Berwick Street? Just cos you have to walk down a narrow alley of lol dingy sex shops to get there...

Or indeed no narrow alleys of any sex shops if you approach it via Oxford Street...

In Berwick Street's INFAMOUS Selectadisc indie record shop, which has been going strong since 1927, you can buy that INFAMOUS "rap" album for as little as a FIVER!!

The Independent should do a piece where their reporter trawls the secondhand record shops of London's infamous Berwick Street trying to see if she can get £30 for the 12 nominees from 10 years ago.

It's good they're marking this momentous occasion, I was considering petitioning my local MP to mark it with a parade or street party, or maybe going right to Gordon Brown to request an extra public holiday.

Your loss. "Am I Evil" is a cracking track, "Canterbury" a v v under-rated & inventive album. They were a great live band too.
