Oh yes, Minty! Their album has been in my CD player since it came out. Sadly 
they have now split and become part along with the 'even stranger' Off-Set. 
Meanwhile, their best 'List Song' remains Useless Man, which goes:

bootlicking, pissdrinking, fingerfrigging,
tit-tweaking, lovebiting, arselicking, shit-stabbing,
muthafucking, spunk-loving, ballbusting, cocksucking,
fistfucking, lipsmacking, thirstquenching, cool-living,
ever-giving useless man.

about 25 times. Recognise it? The squarky woman is Nichola Bowery, Widow 
of performace artist and Minty founder Leigh. I'm so glad I saw them live - a 
band that can shock even todays audiences really are something (This involves 
amongst other things, the naked  - except for a giant tubey plastic hat - lead 
singer (i.e. Nichola) pissing into a plastic cup at the end of the set) 
	My fave list song, though, is 'British Children On Smack' by The 
Yummy Fur which goes "British mums / British dads / Get your children off the 
smack / And onto something friendlier / Onto something healthier / Like...." and 
then goes on to list a lot of things. Indecypherably. Several of them involve the 
word 'prostitute'.

		Yours about to change his sig file.
		Yes, again.
