And I thought it was device in the sense of "plot or plan to achieve something (especially clever or dishonest)".

An excellent cover, too, although as it belongs in the 'fey electronica' (or as muso types seem to want to call it, 'downtempo') category, it may not be your cup of tea.<BR/><BR/>'No family stuff' is a good one. I'll only write about family stuff when it's a) innocuous and b) funny (at least to me), but that's only because my family read this blog now. <BR/><BR/>Hmm, it would be interesting to know what other people's editorial policies are.

She's definitely a bird. One time I saw them, they also had a guitarist that looked like Johnny Depp (albeit with a curiously squashed face), so that was a special treat. He'd gone by last September, however.

Good old editorial policy.<BR/><BR/>Although that line is missing from this version, so you can enjoy it with no loss of comfort!<BR/><BR/>The first line still sounds like 'teabags' to me, but according to the interthing, it's <I>'your cruel device'</I>. Which doesn't make much sense either, as there's no decription of the device.
