Ideal Woman is a masterpiece, and I surely don't need to say anything about his cover of Common People. I love that William Shatner album.

I was expecting to just have a good laugh at how terrible the album was and then chuck it in the bin... Then, as I was listening to it I found an myself experiencing a strange and quite unexpected reaction. It was actually genuinely <i>good</i>. The Lemon Jelly collaboration in particular is sublime.

It was actually genuinely good.

The Lemon Jelly collaboration in particular is sublime.

It's hilarious (by design, unlike his 70s efforts) while at the same time beautifully, painfully honest; you'll struggle to find a purer record anywhere... Anyway, nice 'cast; keep em comin'.xxx The latest Shatner record (Has Been) is an absolute gem!

In that case, I take it they're not fans of his quite wonderful <i>Has Been</i> album of a couple of years ago..

Of course, the other reason to go to Avalanche is the nice fat pile of Meursault albums that they recently took delivery of... Aidan Moffat rules. Not something I would ever have expected to like (scarred by memories of parental William Shatner and Tele Savalas spoken word albums from the 70's perhaps) but he is brilliant.
