...this is proving fertile ground for Tomislav Nikolic, the grim-faced Serbian Radical Party campaigner who is standing in for Vojislav Seselj while the boss prepares his defense. A former cemetery manager, Nikolic is traveling the country with a list of fiery complaints about Serbia's oppressors, from "soulless journalists" trying to destroy his party, to NATO, the Hague and, worst of all, the "servants of the West" in Serbia's current government. To set Serbia on the right path, he wants to sever ties with Croatia, return troops to Kosovo, review the "illegal" privatizations that have taken place over...

In The Stars, the Moon, the Sun and the Clouds, the singer chastises his girlfriend's scholarly squalor: "It's all very well/ Learning poetry by heart/ But it doesn't mean/ We have to live like poets." As with so much electronica, there's a soulless quality to this record, not helped by Hayman's insistence on recording with a drum machine. His DIY aesthetic has its own appeal, but without guitars to ground it, his plaintive voice risks floating off into nasal helium. But he can still make me laugh. The best track is Gabriel...
