MARK ALMOND: Well, it's rather puzzling in a way because if you look over the border in Kosovo where much of the weaponry has come into Macedonia from, 40,000 NATO troops have not been successful at disarming people or controlling the flow of weapons and other smuggled goods.
MARK ALMOND: Yes, I suspect that there are several if you like considerations other than the humanitarian one of trying to stop people killing each other.

 Pinky's Paperhaus: Almond v. Sarvas
Here is where Mark is right: he can dislike Steve Almond's writing all he wants and can blog his opinion.
And Steve scoffs at Mark being a galvanizing force in the literary community of Los Angeles, which Mark indeed is. Not to mention characterizing LA as a place where books are "a minor cultural curiousity," which is about as gracious as coming over to visit, drinking our booze and then pissing on our begonias.
This may make Mark uncool to Steve Almond, but dude, I recommend staying out of the cooler-than-you ring, because there's always someone younger, wittier and (forgive me boys, but you drove me to it) endowed with a bigger dick who will come along and knock you out on your ass.

It seems that most Marc Almond fans don't like this album very much, and I can understand that, but for me, Memorabilia: The Singles is perfect.
This collection is anything but complete (where are all the tracks from his solo albums from 1984 to 1987???), there are not all the Soft Cell hits, and most of the tracks are remixed versions, so I would recommend to buy the original albums instead.
Regardless, it is a Marc Almond release, and although it has YET ANOTHER version of "Tainted Love" on it, it is a good jumping point for those who are not familiar with his solo releases.
