Wihile Rome fiddles and Nero burns

Or something like that.
Anyway, as Martin Fry once sang on the distincly average thrid ABC album "There's so much panic in the world." And while a couple of people care about whether Iran are going to use nuclear power to create atomic beards and as a couple of people wince about some bad things happening in other places while lots of people get wound up about whether or not they are a lot better off or just a reasonable amount better off since 1997, I have been listening to Japan's premier beat combo.
Oh yes, while the world worries I suggest you crack onto itunes (or download thingy of your choice) and find the Pizzicato Five. If you like pop music, you'll probably roll your eyes in disgust at their sheer bombast. But in particular check out their "Made in the USA" album.
I originally came across this song back in about 1994 when Mark Lamarrrrrrrrr was in charge of GLR's Sunday morning show (It's BBC London now folks and totally bland these days). He kept playing this song each week and each week I trawlled the record shops of south London (never north you evil vile nasty people) until I found the "Five by Five" ep.
Ladies and gentlemen. I urge you to go and find the greastest song ever (at least for the next fifteen minutes).
Twiggy Twiggy / Twiggy vs James Bond by Pizzicato Five
