This is where The Phoenix gets a split personality.
You enter the dining room from the lobby, the large oak door has a gaelic shield with "The Dubliner" the Irish Pub. Now imagine walking out of your chinzy hotel into an Irish Pub for your meal.
The Bar was packed, it seemed that Washington's young and trendy like this format. We waited to be seated in the bar, and were about to turn tail and find something a little more refined when. "Hello Sir, how are we today" Gulp. The restaurant was busy as well, large groups had pulled tables together and we were offered a table for two in a corner. Being British and not wanting to upset our friendly host, we asked if he had a table in a quieter area, he suggested that we might want to go outside, they have a slightly raised area on the sidewalk, and although there was the usual ...
Advantages: A lot of good tracks with different moods Disadvantages: A few tracks where the vocals aren't quite clear enough
was pretty AND talented, a rather awesome package in just 1 person.
If you didn't like redheads there was Emma Anderson - she of the dark haired persuasion, also singing & playing guitar and owning a pair of legs that go right up to her neck as well writing some of the songs into the bargain. And if you don't like girls there was always the rather gothic Phil King on bass or the sadly now deceased Chris Acland providing rather awesome drums that melded together the very different sound palette that was Lush.
So the band had something for everyone, be you boy, girl or small fluffy creature from Alpha Centuri (I think Miki had them covered). Split was their 2nd album release arriving in June of 1994, all songs were either written by Miki or Emma apart from Starlust which was a joint effort.
So whats on Split then?

The Pico Consul that I own is now 4 years old. It is branded by Pico and has a gold effect case which looks very stilish. The keyboard is very light to use and the touch sensitive mouse pad works very well.
My machine is fitted with the AMD Now 266mhz processor, 3gig hard-drive and cd-rom. There are also the usual ports including PCMCIA and USB. The modem slot is closed as this is an optional extra.
The TFT display is 12" and is very clear and crisp. The overall brightness is very good. It is driven by a 4mg Virge MX chip. There is an output for external monitor and TV.
The machine is not quite up to running Windows XP and the graphics is a little sluggish.Updated drivers are difficult to find and have had to make do with the generic Microsoft ones. However, I use to run Windows 98 on this machine with the supplied drivers ...
