A refreshing break from all that tiresome wordage, or an unwelcome visual intrusion just when your imagination is furiously beating its wings against the waters of invention, running as fast as its webbed feet of fantasy will carry it and taking flight? No matter! With <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1849530491?ie=UTF8&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1264033371&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Live Fast, Die Young</a> you can have it both ways. With this unique &#8216;electronic&#8217; photo supplement, not only do you not have to turn the pages (see how they magically turn themselves!), they come with musical accompaniment from Missing Parsons too! And if photos just aren&#8217;t your thing, don&#8217;t worry &#8211; simply cover your eyes with your hands and enjoy the music! (Put another way, here&#8217;s what the &#8216;slates&#8217; would have looked like if there had been money to put any in the book &#8211; now with added annotation.)</p>
<p><object style="width: 510px; height: 420px;" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="510" height="420" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/URXzhdWv01I" /><embed style="width: 510px; height: 420px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="510" height="420" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/URXzhdWv01I"></embed></object></p>
<p>If you like the music (which, on the advice of the boffins in our marketing and A&amp;R departments, we have entitled &#8216;Live Fast, Die Young&#8217;) there&#8217;s more to be discovered at <a title="Missing Parsons the band" href="http://missingparsons.com/the-band/" target="_blank">Missing Parsons the band</a>, or you can buy the album on <a title="Buy the Missing Parsons album on iTunes" href="http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/missing-parsons/id335968932" target="_blank">iTunes</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002VHQJ6O?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=missiparso-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=19450&amp;creativeASIN=B002VHQJ6O">Amazon</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=missiparso-21&amp;l=as2&amp;o=2&amp;a=B002VHQJ6O" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.</p>
