... you with restraint and the best lyrics the UK Goth scene has actually witnessed". Mercer also adds that Rome Burns "are so head and shoulders above the rest I think they've also been designing stilts", praise indeed!

...people were gathered in the streets. Gentlemen on pretty white horses, parades of visitors, and fishermen from the coast caused chaos. Beautiful women with a rainbow of parasols watched as clowns on stilts chased delighted children through the crowd.

Third in a possibly infinite list of music wot I liked this year:
"Love Is A Wave," CrystalStilts: I don’t care what it’s derivative of, I don’t care what you think, I loved this and... it would have been this one. But ultimately they were a bit shit at being a band, so the Crystal Stilts did it instead.

... I would love to read a fluffy and/or nostalgicbit about young, colonial America and Canada playing some traditional games. Leapfrog, or shooting marbles, or hoops, or walking on homemade stilts, whatever. Bonus if they play a traditional Native game (bewildering England perhaps?)!
