Roy Harper - Male Chauvinist Pig Blues video

There are mp3 demos on Roy's website: http://www.royharper.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=9 Stormcock is Roy's masterpiece but "Valentine" is almost as good - and quite a bit more accessible. A collection of love songs, yes, but there is nothing predictable or sloppy here: these songs have truth, tenderness, anger, frustration, humour - and loads of bittersweet twists and turns to keep you interested. Some of the tracks rock out very nicely with assistance from Roy's "heavy" friends, but mostly the feel of this album is gentle, acoustic (very fine guitar as always from Roy)...quite seductive in its way. The LP has now been re-issued as a CD

• RBS cuts jobs and ships jobs abroad september 2010



RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) are in the news today, and most of it is bad:

RBS to cut 3,500 UK support centre jobs

Around 3,500 Royal Bank of Scotland employees are set to lose their jobs, after the lender announced a second wave of staff cuts among its nationwide business support centres. In total 20,600 UK-based jobs have been cut, with the bank keeping many operations under review for further staff reductions.

RBS ships more jobs abroad

Unite, Britain's largest union, said it expected 500 jobs to be shifted to RBS operations in Singapore, India and the US. A spokesman for the taxpayer-owned bank (up 0.35p to 46.13p) confirmed that many positions would be moved abroad, but said the bank had not yet decided how many.

Retrenchment is good for RBS

but not for the newly-unemployed. Martin Flanagan of The Scotsman says "Painful it may be for the victims but retrenchment is good for RBS." 'Unlike many of our competitors we remain committed to our long-standing principle of situating customer contact work within the country or region where the customer is located,' said the bank. Reaction on the London Stock Exchange has been rather surprising:
