    This week, Tim did a monologue on the fourth and final studio album by The Move, Message From The Country.

Also, are they the only UK band to have been sued by the Prime Minister? Exactly how much Christian eschatology is there on the album? When does a thing stop being a thing? And finally, when the band talk about a message from the country, which country exactly are they talking about?
