These guys only released one CD although the singer Dot Allison went on to record with Death in Vegas and a couple of solo outings. Kind of Proto-Portishead.

As a resident of the fair nation, this mix makes me sad. It reminds me how awful most of our musical output is. I have to give you serious points just for not including The Pouges on this mix.

You're finally legal! Huzzah! We all know you've been boozing since you were 13, but don't worry, we'll keep quiet.

Now, get off the damn computer and go hit up the bars.

I like Aereogramme a lot, I just bought the new cd from the 'in the fishtank' series, where they play with Isis. (It's not the best album in the world, though) And I found a little cassette my mom used to listen to when she was young - by Donovan. I adore that opener of yours.

Despite the fact that TEAM ROBOT was crushed like a Pabst can at a frat party by the might claws of TEAM MONSTER, you are still deserving of a badge... Loser.

I always thought Nazereth were Geordies for some reason! I used to watch SAHB at the Torrington pub in Finchley for several years. Cream lyricist Pete Brown was commissioned to write a screenplay about Alex Harvey, but nothing came of it, I think. This is fun. (Stone The Crows for part 3????????????)

Didnt know Cocteau Twins were Scottish. Saw Rezillos at Scottish Showcase at last years SXSW. Almost got them to play my company party. Nazareth? I'll be darned. Thanks for educating me.
