Peenko’s Ones to Watch in 2010: Silver Columns
So here we go, it’s time for the last of my tips for 2010 and what a belter we have to round things off, none other than the mysterious beings known as Silver Columns. Imagine Jimmy Somerville being horse whipped by the Hot Chip boys and you’re half way there.
