The Three O'Clock were fairly popular exponents of the American Paisley
Underground in the early Eighties ... the _Baroque Hoedown_ debut 12" from
1982 is a classic masterpiece, the _Sixteen Tambourines_ album from 1983 is
highly recommended as well and may have been quite influential on other
excellent Eighties bands such as Fantastic Something ... both records are
compiled on the _Sixteen Tambourines_ CD reissue.

Besides, I've just obtained a letter from friends in London telling me that
XFM plays tunes such as "If she doesn't smile (it'll rain)" by Fantastic
Something ... lucky people.

"As real as real"

The rain it raineth on the just
And also on the unjust fella
But more upon the just because 
The unjust steals the just's umbrella

(Charles Baron Bowen)
