OK, this is a bit of an 'in gag' for Brian (if you're out there Brian) but whilst back in Phnom Pen I strangely found myself in a karaoke bar. Thumbing through the menu of songs, which I have to say was vast, I chanced across a number by that Aussie power-pop, beat-combo from the early 90s - !Frente! (to be truly accurate one of those exclamation marks should be upside down but that's beyond me).
Ah, the memories of whirling round on a beer lubed dance floor at the Mean Fiddler in Harlesden (sadly no longer I understand), whilst one of the more delicate members of the party writhed in agony with a dislocated knee. That's the power of !Frente!.
Needless to say, I didn't get up and blast out Bizarre Love Triangle for fear of what carnage would be caused in the inevitably frenzied crowd.

Pop quiz time again: the Frente version of 'BLT' is the one with a femal vocal, right? A good rendition, but one that pales in comparison to the mighty New Order original. I would pay highly for a recording of you singing a Karaoke version though.
Once again, my musical card has been trumped by the prime player in the Melody Stakes.
How much are we talking for my Karaoke version?
How about a new latch on my shed? Uh oh...I think I owe you the recording.
Sounds AWESOME!! Being a bit of a karaoke fiend, I loved reading about your Bizarre Love Triangle adventures.
Shalom indeed Marci, and welcome to Spratticus, a broad church, if a little a-religious at times.
Perhaps there's a 'Dodgy 90s Band Karaoke Information' group we could all join.
Have you tried Singstar yet? Don't, it's addictive, even if you're a 37 year old bloke that should know better (that's me, not you of course), rather than a 13 year old girl who doesn't.
