ME and me (Free subscription) | 11/22/2009

I'm quite ill, and I can't work - but apparently I'm not ill enough that the UK Government considers me eligible for Employment Support Allowance.

Maps: Turning The Mind The influence of bands like Spiritualized, Galaxie 500, My Bloody Valentine and Ride shone through We Can Create by Maps, aka James Chapman.
