Faintly horrified - and equally impressed - to note that Stephen Malkmus has grown a moustache.

But it does at least tie in with some fantastic news! On the 1st of September 2007 Brighton will be the first British city to host the World Beard & Moustache Championships!

Confusingly, the man below left is Geoff Pye. He's the events co-ordinator for the Handlebar Club, who are organising the event. He appears to have neither a beard nor a moustache.

Happily, committee member Rod Littlewood, to the right, does.
