Now that the Crassical Collection has released The Feeding of the Five Thousand on CD, there have been a lot of questions about when the rest of the CDs will be released, what about vinyl etc etc. So I thought I'd share our current "strategy" with you. Although "strategy" seems like a word which is [...]

In which our guest blogger, Little Annie, regales us with tales from her unpublished biography.

Vice: the Crassest of them all? Mon, 19 Jul 2010 14:57:31 +0000
If you're not familiar with Vice magazine... well, get yourself on over to Wikipedia. Like Marmite, Vice is an instant room divider.
