If I found an iPod on the train and it was owned by any of the previous posters (AS excluded) I would definitely hand it in to lost property!

And technically they are thought of as Scottish seeing as most of their albums are recorded in Glasgow, they all now live between London & Glasgow blah blah blah.

Know what you mean about them being dreary though! Basically jumped on the Chris Martin blandness regime.
Bland = non-offensive = championed by Jo Whiley = muchos cash!

And the recipient of my 'dullest live band ever witnessed' award. OK, so they were supporting The Strokes on their first ever UK tour so nobody was going to come off the same stage looking very good but my God, MHS were f%cking dire.
