There's one bloke in Koobla, I think he's in charge sort of, a lot thinner and 'squarer' then the rest. Whatever you do, don't ask him about Basic Channel! I think his dog or something, might died whilst listening to one of their records 'cause he just goes red and extremely agitated if you ask him the most seemingly innocuous question about them!
