1 Red and Black A5 notepads are the future.
Where is my answer, Mark? I'm impatient.
Note-pads or note-books? Hard-back-A5-note-books rock
I'll have a John Owen badge! Stevie Griff would want one too!
What is hipster theologically minded? explain via post?
You can't tell Steve before he receives one in the post. I use notepad / notebook interchangeably, but I probably mean notebook as you use the word. Your answer is currently moving from my head to a A7 notepad (A7, wu-oh!).
Bands where the lead singer can't sing but are still awesome:
And probably countless others I forget. You just gotta go with it.
I'd like a John Owen badge but I'm not a youth worker.

The Flaming Lips' singer at least stays on the right note generally. As does whichever one of the Gallaghers actually sings (I don't know the difference...). That all said, I can't really remember much about the Clap Your Hands... album now anyway - too long ago.
You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!
A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.

You see, I quite liked it but I wasn't convinced the guy could sing. So I gave it back.
