yeah, she's always pretty cool

I <3 X-Ray Spex

Which is why I'm going to see them in September! Although last time X-Ray Spex played in Blackpool, Polly Styrene pulled out at the last minute, so they got someone to replace her, suitably named Polly Filler. As you can imagine, she got bottled offstage.

The Roundhouse gig is just as much of a rip off

as the 90's shows.
Poly Styrene is the only member of the original band playing.
While it would be great to hear her belt out the Spex classics she should playing it as a Poly Styrene solo gig.

The Anthology is pretty much Germ Free with demo and live versions

but it mostly sounds pretty good to my ears
