          <description><![CDATA[The &quot;Statics cupboard&quot; (as it is now known) actually gets a lot more interest from customers than any of the posters on our wall. It may not be business-critical in the traditional sense, though. ;)<br />
<br />
And Carmen brings up a good point. When I'm struggling to find work for a slave to do, I usually resort to sending them on an errand and &quot;forgetting&quot; to tell them about something else I want them to do/get while they're away. This doubles their travel time and means I don't have to think of something else for them to do for at least another half-hour.<br />
<br />
Richard: Ouch! That actually made me feel a little uneasy just thinking about how fucking <i>irritating</i> that would be.]]></description>

OH THEY'RE BEYOND MINE. I saw them live at the Horsell Common Satellite Wonderland EP launch and they were awesome! One of the few genuinely original bands there... and I have their demo. Sweet. :D]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[But they went by the name Pacifier on the Australian release of that album too, right? I'm not too familiar with the situation, but it sounds to me like that change was different to HVH's for a few reasons (like the fact that they were changing their name to start again in a new market, whereas HVH just arbitrarily changed it).<br />
<br />
Anyway... I'm assuming you'll be at the Shihad/Gyroscope show in September? I've been getting into Shihad a bit lately too, similar to how I was literally the last Australian rock music fan to listen to Gyro. :D]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[Not exactly. Shihad planned to break into the US, then 9-11 hit, and Shihad sounded too much like Jihad, so it was changed to Pacifier. (Especially since they were touring US army bases etc) Once their album flopped in America, they went back to Shihad, since they never really wanted to change it anyway.<br />
<br />
I don't see much of a problem with name changes. So many bands seem to break up, only to restart with the same core of the band under a different name and the fans seem to follow them anyway!]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[Mmm, Shihad also went to The General Electric (I think) for a while but are now back to their original name. I think because of the controversy around the name change, they actually received a lot of attention for it.<br />
