Anyway, it's great unclassifiable pop-rock-blues-jazz stuff. Yes!!! I have this album, it's really great, but errm, well, different... as Liz says, pretty unclassifiable. I love the last single, "78 stone wobble", but as yet I haven't bought the new single (which I can't remember off the top of my head!) I actually saw these people at Colchester Arts Centre last month (or was it right at the end of April, I can't remember) - they were AWESOME live! You gotta go see 'em... but I doubt they are still touring. Ah well, next time :-) tfn stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

AAAUUGH. and its so ace like just one of the most fabulous songsin the world EVER along with Ice Hockey Hair and Smokin which are incidentally very great for blocking out neighbours crappy dance music. Honestly, Louise? get lost. then they played jazz It UP, by Clock, which made me pish meself completely, as it reminded me of high school. in PE one of the sections was aerobics, and we had to make up an aerobics routine, and out ickle group, which was me, rebecca and louise, ended up doing this routine to Jazz It UP, and from now on, itjust completely and totally makes me laff. hey i'lll tell you what. i reall wish my dad would leave from behind me so i could go back to chat. people will be wondering where i am. i hope none of zem have left, cos would be just awful indeed considering they are some of my fave people, those being john and simone and groovey stuntgrrl who's name i have forgotten but she likes A&J and Gorkys so hey she has impeccable taste doesn't she ladies and gentelmen give her a big hand!! oh yes! but she is not faloting in space, which is a good hitng, else she would suffocate and die, which is a bad thing. i'm souding like "good idea bad idea" on animaniacs now aren't i. what a cool programme that was eh? when i used ot go to high school and i would be home before 10 past 5, GRRR my stupid bus times from Preston, i always used to get home in time for Animanics, or was that primary school. can't quite say i remeber. BUT! Count Duckula. now that is COOOOL indeed. recently i went roundmy friends house and we we watched Duckula video! it was great fun. the vegetarian vampire, and the Igor, who wants the vampire to be a 4REAL vampire instead of a broccoli sandwich eating ponce....and nanny.... duckpoos....i'll get it, she was indeed such a great act of slapstick that if they hadn't invented her, someone would haev to. piss off father, wanna go back to chat. aah well. while we're on TV programmes, YES! he's gone! and back to chat i go!

The Close Lobsters hailed from Glasgow and the few slow ballads which may have motivated your friend to come up with the comparison can be found on their first album, examples include "Pimps", "I kiss the flower in bloom" and "A prophecy" ... having said that, The Close Lobsters were a wonderful band and in my humble opinion _Headache Rhetoric_ is much inferior to the janglier first album. The discography, anything is worth picking up ... Going To Heaven To See If It Rains 7"/12" (UK/Fire Blaze 15/'86) Never Seen Before 7"/12" (UK/Fire Blaze 20/'87) Let's Make Some Plans 7"/12" (UK/Fire Blaze 22/'87) Foxheads Stalk This Land LP/CD (UK/Fire LP 09/'87) D.D.I.R.N. on V.A. - The Great Fire Of London LP (Fire Restless/'87) The Janice Long Sessions 12" (Strange Fruit/'88) What Is There To Smile About 7"/12"/CDs (UK/Fire Blaze 25/'88) Nature Thing 7"/12"/CDs (UK/Fire Blaze 34/'89) Headache Rhetoric LP/CD (UK/Fire LP 17/'89) Just Too Bloody Stupid 7" (Caff Corporation 04/'89) Besides, the CD version of the second album features _Foxheads Stalk This Land_ in addition. I seem to remember that they were more successful in the USA than Great Britain ... I'd be interested what happened to the Burnett Brothers subsequently ...
