Burning the White Witch

Now yesterday I mentioned in passing that I had found a number of suspicious objects in the wardrobe - notably the remains of a lion and a witches hat, and a Giant Rubber Goth Bat who was somewhat reticent about the origins of these artefacts but protested his innocence after being threatened with a Kylie Minogue CD.
Further research has revealed that a person or persons who should remain nameless have clearly been robbing Narnia for inspiration, the evidence for this is quite horrible - ladies and gentlemen I give you (Taa Raa) Jadis - There I was sitting peacefully in the Borderline sipping a beer (what else are you going to do with it at those prices) when I was approached by a furtive creature (described by my companion as an amateur hobbit) who whispered in my ear "Have you ever heard of Jadis" and before I could protest I was handed a CD. Now some little while passed and I rediscovered this disk which had been making itself useful as a coaster/notepad and decided because of intense curiosity to give it a listen.
This was of course the first mistake, the second was not to eject it rapidly before hearing a second track. Take note brethren and sistren and follow my guidance for your musical well-being. If you are approached by a man who says "Have you ever heard of Jadis" just say "Yes, they're absolute pants" then go and shoot yourself for going somewhere where they are having a prog rock night.
