I'm given to understand that YouTube is one of the major ways that people encounter new music now.  The technology -- or at least the way that some technology or the other gets used -- keeps marching on!

I suppose even I have to admit that I discovered the marvelous Red Fang via YouTube, so I can hardly grumble like an old timer about it!

I've heard mixed things about the Psych Warlords shows, and the best I can say is that YouTube camera phone videos seldom make anyone look good.  I fully agree that Alan has a very strong back catalogue, and I would rather see him doing his own stuff, new and old (not that this is likely to be an option!).  Though I also know full well that back when he was doing Bedouin, the "second shift" as a Motörhead cover was bringing in more cash. Such is show biz.

Cheers,
Carl
