"Let me come over" is the one you have, there is Asides from Buffalo tom which is a compliation, has a classy cover of the Jam's going Underground on it. Pre "let me come over" is more heavy (produced by J Mascis), after it more polished. Good taste mate, how was the game? Watched Chelski and Barca fall over a lot myself.

yeah...its well known i've got the best musical taste on here.

cheers for that Mark. I'll give it a go.

you heard of a band called SWELL? check out their album called Well. an absolute classic album from San Francisco's finest. you will not be disappointed. every song is boss. very guitary. boss drummer. sounds like he's drumming on a card board box its circa 91.

yeah sound game last night.

the run starts now.

errr...until we face Arsenal that is.

Cheers, I'll give it a go. Must not talk guitars too much or the PSB and Depeche Mode fans might give us a kicking :D

Absolute classic band - another BT fan here. You'd do well to track down 'Sleepy-eyed', recorded live to tape (largely) in an old church I think. Good to see that fellow NO fans appreciate great groups like Buffalo Tom and Fugazi here on NOOL.

One word to the wise though - it's not very popular here in Aus these days to use the phrase 'Abbo' - that one disappeared around the same time as the words "strewth" "corker" "bonza" and "decent prime minister" here in Aus.

CTB

cheers CTB.

how about Boong then? that's what the West Aussies call your indigenous cousins. do they still get Abstudy? and sniff petrol cans at railway stations?

1. New Order.

And it wasnt an "English Lesson." You lazily stuck a "The" onto the name of a band that doesnt belong there. It was a lesson in fact more than anything.
