i have one Cowboy Junkies single, it's a VU cover version, and it's
quite poor actually. i never really got the appeal, but i'm a
philistine.

that's a mighty compilation, the Flying Nun 'in love with these times',
and i dunno anything about LBGP aside from the fact that the sleeve
notes say that cactus cat is from the 12" EP 'LBGPEP2', which suggest
that there might have been a LBGPEP1. There was a wealth of New Zealand
Pop in the 80s and i guess there is still... Flying Nun was sold
recently to a major i think, which is a shame, but they released some
astonishing records.

weird, cos i was listening to the Skyway LP in school today when the
kids weren't around and i had chance to do some painting. it's a lovely
record, but i have no details since it was taped for me by a friend. if
no-one else can help with details, i'll ask him next week when i see
him. i do recall it came in some lovely minimalist packaging.

hope that didn't bore everyone.
