Addendum

Debate raged over the title to the previous post. "Porno For Pyros" might have been the obvious choice, but I have always thought it was one of the dumber band names going. We could have chosen "Pages"; or "Mere Pseud Mag Ed" (not really relevant, but my favourite song title of all time); or "Dirty Mind"; or "Picture Book". Or "Don't Save Us From The Flames". It would have been nice to call it "Five Foot One", after the Iggy Pop song, on account of its containing the line "I wish life could be Swedish magazines". But in the end the terse simplicity of The Cure won out.
