Darren Hayman (most notably of Hefner; also of the French; Hayman, Watkins, Trout, and Lee; and the Stereo Morphonium), his ukulele, and his dog phone it in from London, England. Hefner were British underground pop icons, revered by John Peel and not less than a few other slavishly devoted fans (myself included).
