Pillows & Prayers was released in 1982 with the strict order of "pay no more than 99p" printed on the cover. The dirt-cheap LP is a sampler from Cherry Red Records, featuring a bunch of sorely underrated new wave/post-punk as well as a few heavy-hitters, including Everything But the Girl, Felt and Quentin Crisp. And when those are the "popular" bands on the compilation, it certainly says something about how underappreciated it is.
It's a solid listen all the way through, but if I had to pick-and-choose favourites, The Monochrome Set's angular post-punk "Eine Symphonie Des Grauens", Thomas Leer's synth-heavy "All About You" and Ben Watt's acoustic faux-jazzy "Some Things Don't Matter" would be top picks, alongside The Nightingales and Eyeless in Gaza (holy shit, that is a rad name for a band.) Throw in a spoken word track and a poetry piece by Atilla the Stockbroker and you've got a well-rounded mix. It was worth your 99p 28 years ago, and it's definitely worth the 10 minute download now.

During the markup to Edifice Resolution 2267, the jaws proposing online gambling ordinance, foe Spencer Bachus over again referred to an article in the Orlando Patrol as heralding the incipient dangers of Internet gaming. Bachus said the notepaper bemoaned the induce Internet cafes posed to children, and argued this meant accepting online casinos means subjecting kids to risk.
Bachus repeated the citation a mass of times during the process of the deliberation alongside the Legislature Pecuniary Services Panel, as if he had discovered a strict grain of points gaming proponents could not refute nor digest. But the Alabama Republican had either accidentally or pointedly muddied the first with misleading information.
