Pop band for sale!

Remember Cotton Eye Joe? Well Rednex – the geniuses behind said country/house opus – are now up for sale. We're assuming that the person who buys the band won't actually have to offer them board and lodgings, but he or she will take ownership of the Rednex...

Audio interfaces. Enough already
