--- It was nice to visit Edinburgh a few weeks ago and find that at last, hooray, a community has
formed there that makes great, wild music. I'm still trying to learn all the groups' names, but
alongside a href="http://www.saidthegramophone.com/archives/since_there_is_no_desert_.php"Withered
Hand/a there's certainly Meursault - who despite a few middling acoustic jams have made one of my a

Phosphorescent! a href="http://www.gramotunes.com/Meursault_Pissing_On_Bonfires.mp3""Pissing on
Bonfires/Kissing With Tongues"/a: They borrowed the melody from Neutral Milk Hotel's "Song Against
Sex"! --- a href="http://www.gramotunes.com/Meursault_The_Furnace.mp3"Meursault - "The Furnace"/a.
BREAKING NEWS: CYBERMAN 3000-D HAD HIS HEART BROKEN THIS WEEKEND. HAS GONE ON RAMPAGE THROUGH
COUNTRYSIDE. VALLEYS OF CLOVER BEING BURNED BY CYBERMAN 3000-D'S ROCKET-BOOTS. BARNS SMASHED APART
AND LEFT SMOULDERING. TWO SHEPHERDS DEAD. DOGS HOWLING. CYBERMAN 3000-D HAS BEFRIENDED A SWALLOW
WHOM HE IS CARRYING ON HIS SHOULDER-MOUNTED ELECTRO-BAZOOKA. THE SWALLOW IS TRYING TO CONSOLE THE
CYBERMAN. THE SWALLOW IS SINGING A SWEET SONG. NOW CYBERMAN 3000-D IS SINGING TOO AS HE CONTINUES
HIS RUN OF TERROR. UNDER STARLIGHT HE HAS ENTERED THE FOREST. HE WILL EITHER BUILD A NEW HOME OR
BURN THE WHOLE WOOD DOWN. MORE LATER. a

Bonfires/Kissing With Tongues"/a. BREAKING NEWS: CYBERMAN 3000-D HAS BEEN SPOTTED. HIGH-POWERED
TELESCOPES PICKED UP MOVEMENT IN THE BLACKENED WRECKAGE OF THE FOREST. CYBERMAN 3000-D HAD BEEN
PRESUMED DEAD AFTER TRANSFORMING THE WOOD INTO AN INFERNO. BUT THERE HE IS, ALL STEEL AND TITANIUM,
A GLITTER STILL IN HIS PRISMATIC EYES. HE STAMPS THROUGH ASH, SMOKE SWIRLS AROUND HIS ANKLES. HE
MOVES WITH A CLUMSY AMP; MECHANICAL REGRET. EXPERTS PEERING THROUGH TELESCOPE FEEL THAT PERHAPS HE
IS BUILDING A HOME, BELATEDLY. BUILDING IT OUT OF CINDERS. HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS WAITING FOR
SOMETHING - OR SOMEONE. NO ONE HAS SEEN ANY BIRDS. THE CYBERMAN GLITTERS IN THE SUN. [a
