One of the best bands of all time
And from my hometown too! I'm glad there is a thread for them. Anyone else?
they are playing soon i think
i haven't heard much, but my future mother-in-law is a big fan
Cool
Does that mean Barry isn't a fan or is? Nobody wants to like the same stuff as their mum haha.
barry likes them too
he likes a lot of the same stuff as his mum (apart from paolo nutini). and his dad has probably heard of more bands than you and i put together. he was once described in mojo magazine as 'a walking encyclopedia of rock'.
A-ha!
its my foe from the Eno thread!
seriously though, I've never bothered with anything past A Walk Across The Rooftops and Hats, because I guess deep down I don't think they could better them.
Do you think it's worth seeking out the rest of their stuff?
Yep. Good to see you kept
the patronising tone down a little whilst making this thread! ;)
Those two albums are their best yeah, but it's always worth having the other stuff. I have it all on 12". Lovely.
Totally
I once stood at the top of the big stone steps in Queens Park in Glasgow at about 6am in the middle of winter, listening to 'Hats' on my headphones, but I had to stop cos it was making me feel a bit...you know. *Emotional* Haha.
One of my favourite songs
by one of my favourite bands.
I love them.
i like a them
it has dated a tadette production wise
damn the 80s studios gadgets
but
it remains awesomely beautiful steely dan for the Thatcherite victims
bloody luxury
'awesomely beautiful steely dan for the Thatcherite victims'
give this man some kind of award.
may I take
some sort of tax refund instead
just askin
I'm going to go and try and have a listen to them now
'cause the name's cool and all you lovely people recommend them so highly...
hi fi
