	I totally agree. I like BRA, Marylin Mansun, Hootie &TB, and many
others and don't care what anybody else thinks.

 I've always called it speak-a-pop and it has been done by loads of
people before.  Theres a couple of cool examples on the Abuse Your
Freinds album sampler.  A b-side on the new Strangelove single is
apparently patrick reading his diary (aloud :o) over a moody backing. 
They did this before with the excelent track "Ghost Haddock" on the
Beautiful Alone single.
