Carrion Camping: The Album
30th of September 2003, 5:15 pm
The Vichy Government proudly present their d?but album, 'Carrion Camping'. It was not recorded in a state-of-the-art studio which did not have a swimming pool, and was not visited by a long succession of leather-clad groupies and cocaine dealers. It does not feature collaborations with Iggy Pop or Simon Le Bon, it did not bankrupt Alan McGee, it will not appear in the NME's annual top 50 and it is not available in all good record shops. read more...
