Have you heard the last weekend or whatever it was called? As I remember
it was quite good on the radio, but I suppose it might get annoying
after a while... it was a spoken word thing that was, as was widely
remarked, a bit Trainspottingesque... I also remember reading a review
of their album which said it was quite gloomy Scottish guitar music, not
that that helps much. Go on someone, tell me I've made an embarassing
mistake now and got the wrong band.........

Hey, A Lad, re: the Verve and your eager promotion of them.Is it them
that did that song with the fab strings? (da-da-daa, da-da-daa...) They
play that at Poptastic quite a lot and I usually end up dancing to it,
and I have a feeling someone told me it was the Verve...

Yours smiling at becoming part of a (different from this one) recurrent
subject line,
