I have about 1/2 of Our Kid Eh (I will get the rest when Eddie uploads it). I have to admit that the Shirehorses stuff is much better than the stuff M&L churn out daily. M&L do have a skill for making up irreverant lyrics (i.e. Dairy Lee) and a fair few sex lyrics (Arseholes), but Moyles' skill is to listen to the original and take the **** of it - i.e. the lyrics and the way it is performed.<P>The only evidence I have heard of M&L doing this is The Indecipherable Boys, a very acurate impersination of the Beastie Boys. All the other songs, as far as I can see, are just the original tune with some funny lyrics. Nothing wrong with that - some of the Shirehorses tunes are hilarious, they are just different to the Moyles parodies.<P>As to why Moyles has never released an album, I think it's because he does parodies of songs of the present, instead of 6 months ago. M&L do indie 'classics', with a few exceptions, whereas Moyles does pop. In 3 years time, M&Ls will probabaly be funnier/more relevant than Moyles throwaway pop hits. But I'm sure that if Moyles did release an album, it would sell loads.<P>For now, download some mp3s from the Sound Vault and burn them onto a cd - make your own album :)<P>the_dr
