A few things for posterity.

"But I was sure of myself, sure of everything, surer than he was, sure of my life and sure of the death that was coming to me. Yes, that was all I had. But at least it was a truth which I had hold of just as it had hold of me. I'd been right, I was still right, I was always right. I'd lived in a certain way and I could just as well have lived in different way. I'd done this and I hadn't done that. I hadn't done one thing whereas I had done another. So what?"

From L'Etranger (The Outsider) by Albert Camus, allowing for minor variations in translation.

Also, HMV's free monthly music magazine The Fly has always been far more satisfying a read than NME.

"The Cooper Temple Clause - Make This Your Own
The Coopers burst out of the electro-rock peripheries with their long-awaited third album. 'Make This Your Own' is a hybrid of old and new approaches; 'Homo Sapiens' and the blinding opener 'Damage' pound relentlessly in true Cooper style, alternating with softer, synthesised songs such as 'Head' and 'Connect', with the three vocalists within the band creating scope for a varied repertoire aside from the notorious snarl of Ben Gautrey.
'Make This Your Own' will slap you in the face and remind you that TCTC made electro-rock brilliant six years before the world had even heard of 'Monster' and are continuing to do so today, now with a hat-trick of blinding albums under their hats."
