Kwangchow! Ker-whang-chooow! Ker... What? The song? Nah mate, I'm just going to sit here rolling the word Kwangchow around my mouth until such time where it has lost all flavour, whereupon I shall spit it at a passer by. Entertain yourselves for a bit...

Damn, it's a good word. Only disappointment can beckon with a song as well titled as this. Except, not. Ex-Beta Band-er Steve Mason is now properly getting into his stride as King Biscuit Time, and Kwangchow is as good as anything The Beta's ever did. Except for She's The One.

"How'd you find your head when you've got no fluid?" Mason confusingly asks in that soft Scottish brogue, as behind him the song shuffles along, head-down, bobbing in it's own funky world before tying itself up in a chorus that just cascades into itself until time is up, and it can lope off into the distance to delight someone else.
