More on tax havens, i don't think they are going to get away with this sort of thing in the future, unless they fancy making their bases in china. Which of course is entirely possible.

Music
Current 93 - Black ships ate the sky : Not to every one's taste this me thinks, a biblical concept album based around one song sung by about 8 different vocalists, Marc Almond and Antony from Antony and the Johnsons amongst them. I like it, but it is about twenty minutes too long and starts to get very monotonous for that last twenty minutes.
Bright Eyes - Cassagda : Good stuff, the folkish country tracks worked best for me, plenty of good fiddle playing.
Jimmy Edgar - Color Strip :Techno that seemed to hark back to the 80's for inspiration. From Detroit and seems to have been influenced by the early detroit techno innovators. Good.
Roy Harper - Stormcock : The Roy Harper as name checked by Led Zep. I really liked this, i had expected him to be an excellent guitarist, but for the songs to be just average. He is an excellent guitarist and his songs ain't half bad.
Coco Rosie - La maison de mon reve : I had read a review of their latest album, but decide to go and listen to an older album. Described as a lovely indie folk- tronic duo on the all music website. I'll go with that as i can't describe their music except to say i love it, the vocals might not be to every body's taste but i like the off the wall nature of it.
