Well you see, usually when something is firm, it has some kind of a wedge to it. So the chemical brothers are thinking outside of the box with the concept of a wedgeless firm. That's as much sense as I can make of it.

wedge is a term used for money...


firm in this context means a gang...a group


years ago we were coming back from a show up north, us and the early incarnation of vegetable vision all crammed into a van


we were driving through the outskirts of london on the way home and someone commented that the area we were passing through was a playground for a wedgeless firm....ie somewhere you could have fun even if you had no money which at the time was us..we liked the phrase so used it for one of our songs

I must've been having a bad monthly (girlie stuff, you know) when I ranted and raved about being burned out a while back. A good stepping back for a bit was needed to re-charge the batteries.


I love this music, this place and everyone in it too much to ever leave. So next time I get all bitched out and worn out, just slap me or send me some midol or pamprin.


Pancakes here are most definitely taken with syrup. I don't eat pancakes, but I love love love cooking breakfast especially pancakes. I bought this maple syrup that has real vanilla bean in it which is good.
