Já está!

[Capa do novo CD dos Tindersticks 'Working for the Man]
Já está! Acabadinho de encomendar na abençoada Amazon.

Quem gostar dos Tindersticks, e desconhecer de todo quem é um tal Stuart Styles, pode dar um salto à página de Rock & Alt da BBC para ler um excelente exemplo de crítica profissional e bem informada(*), da autoria de um tal Chris Moss — que a avaliar pelo exemplo dado será com certeza a próxima contratação da TSF.

Retirado do site oficial dos Tindersticks:

"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
