"You ask me what you need / Hate is all you need"

What a "happy" coincidence. Just as I'm writing a review of Hate by The Delgados (which will hopefully be appearing shortly on the Stylus website), I discover that Olav has been quoting at length from the 18th century essayist William Hazlitt's piece 'On the Pleasure of Hating'. The Delgados song 'All You Need Is Hate' (the second single to be lifted from the album) is practically Olav's chosen passage set to music.
