Did you go to Lloyd Cole? I used to love him when I was a lad. Perfect Skin, Lost Weekend, Jennifer in Blue… wonderful songs.
Please let me know what he was like – and enjoy your island hopping in Greece – maybe you’ll get a chance to see Glen Madeiros!!

If England come second in our group (which is probably the best we can hope for bearing in mind that the last time we beat Sweden was in 1966, and that we have to play our nemesis team, Argentina) chances are that we will have to play France. If we beat France, we will have to play Brazil!
Argentina are too poor in defence to win, Ireland will do ok in the group, but I can’t see them beating Germany, Belgium (you must be joking??!!)
So excited – please, please let us get past the first group. On paper, we look quite strong, Beckham, Scholes, Owen, Ferdinand, Campbell, Cole (ashley and joe), Hargreaves, Fowler, Heskey, Seamen…. But, knowing us, we will lose every game.
England. (although probably France or Italy).
Watch out for the West Ham boy Joe Cole – ready to take the world by storm.
Salami – whatever happened to Victoria Williams. Heard she had MS a while back, and the last thing I had from her was the tribute album. Beautiful haunting voice.

The Mekon was the nemesis of space hero Dan Dare from the Eagle magazine.
So my (rather witty if I say so myself) addition to your list would be
Aaron Copeland – Dandare for the Common Man.
boom boom.
Please bear in mind that dentists are failed doctors, just as art critics are failed artists, sports writers failed sportsmen, and traffic wardens failed people.
These people are bitter, and want to hurt you. I have a secret organisation. The Blur, Oasis and Pulp fan beating stick has been busy recently, oh yes. Has to have something to do whilst these bands aren’t releasing music….
Hi Malc (not Malc)
He used to have gladioli hanging out of his butt, but I don’t think that he needed them. He picked up on the power of mass marketing very quick to be fair – wisdom learnt from years of plaguing NME with letters and reading responses. Genius. As per the NHS glasses, band-aid, quiff etc – he knew that disillusioned angst-ridden teenagers would copy, and that would be better than any ad-campaign for selling records. Same goes with the hearing aid. Everything that the band did was great, and they were recently voted the most influential band ever in NME (New Musical Express). Shame that Marr and Morrissey went so rubbish with Electronica and solo projects.
C’est la vie. (some girls are fatter than others, some girls mothers are fatter than other girls mothers – ha ha)

Real ale. hmmm. and gin. ideas coming about another thread – stereotypes of nations or nationals (ie a la Buckingham Rabbit, we English are yes men, or all Canadians say aboot). Let’s stay nice though kids.
I have been off the boards for about a week, and now I have no idea who anyone is any more.
Javro – my middle names are James Edward Harvey. A teacher once asked me what the J stood for, and I said the most stoopid thing that came into my head – javro. Just stuck. So my full initials are BJEHH. Sorry it wasn’t more interesting.
See ya
Ben (happiest he can remember being in a long time – feel his love)
why sigh! Be English and proud dagnammit. Think of all the wonderful things that have come out of England in the last 20 years! There’s…..erm….well.
hmmm.
Ben (also English, sigh.)
Oh yeah, welcome.
the guitarists in the Poppies (Pop Will Eat Itself) only had two strings on their guitars..
But, thinking about it, they were absolute twaddle.

"I go down town and I hassle chicks
Beaver Patrol"The lead singer was called Clint, but he was also known as "Veston Pants". Think the other musicians (not sure they can be called that, but I shall take a descriptive rather than prescriptive stance) went on to form the Ozric Tentacles.

The Whigs are definitely in my top four favourite groups ever (with Archers of Loaf, Dinosaur and Pavement). But, without a doubt, they are the best live band I have ever seen. Greg was born to be a rock star. I saw them live at a Jools Holland Later deal, they played crazy and somethin’ hot off 1965 – my favourite album. I have seen them about 4-5 times, the first at a UK festival – the first time I heard Milez iz Ded. Was instantly hooked, and bought Congregation straight away. Really upset they split up – haven’t heard any of his solo stuff.
Any recommendations?
Good to have you aboard, skip.
Ben
