A quick question...

[shortattentionspan_radio]

I cannot believe that Nigel would make a joke out of such a horrible 
connection. Since when did HMHB use logic in their songs anyway? Why 
Dukla Prague? Why Fred Titmuss? They've always gone for the 
hilariously irrelevant and if Joy Division Oven Gloves laughs at 
anything in particular it's surely music industry merchandizing. 
More likely just his usual combination of the sublime and the 
ridiculous though.
