Ivor Cutler

[Hertz van Rental]

For those of you who haven't discovered this surreal and funny gentleman yet.

Very British humour so don't expect to understand it unless you are from around these parts

... he's great, i was unaware of him, although im sure i'v heard his name on the radio before..... loved this line from his biography about wanting to be a doctor when he was young:

But when his father told him I would have to smash a live frog's heads against a brick walls and dunk them in acid to see it's spinal cord at work, Ivor realised he didn't want him to be a doctor ( Ivor was a humanitarian vegetarian at the time).

great name for a song i thought!.... similar to one of my fav titles by radiohead - 'Subterranean Homesick Alien'

He's done some great word play, like the 'i got no common sense' song too
