[kj] is: Stranglers was: You Tube!

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

It's 18months already?  Yeah, I remember hearing he'd left... so at least 
they're back to the right size of line-up!
Bought the last couple of albums, but just seems a bit pointless to me. 
Same with Hugh's solo stuff. It needs all four of 'em really. I'd maybe go 
see current Stranglers or Hugh if they played Edinburgh, but wouldn't make 
any great effort. The REAL Stranglers on the other hand... anywhere would do!
