I think Tiff is still away in Brussels, feasting on the European sprout
mountain, so I'm gonna but in...

1) Something by J Mascis. Arguably his career is a mere footnote to Mr
Jung, but the solo on their version of "Just Like Heaven" rocks like a
mutha.

2) Something by that Perry bloke out of the Only Ones. I've been listening
a lot to The Only Ones recently, as a consequence of listening to that
Hefner Lp, which has grown on me a lot. Not like mould, but like a
beautiful flowery shrub thingy. So it's gonna hafta be the solo on "Miles
from Nowhere" (Peel session version).

3) Pete Shelley's solo on The Buzzcocks' "Boredom". Ba-dum ba-dum.

4) Johnny Marr coming out of the closet as a true axe-hero on "Paint A
Vulgar Picture".

5) The guitar playing all the way through The Blue Aeroplane's lp "Swagger"
is just lovely. I think some bloke called Alex Bruschetta played on "And
Stones", and that's the business. He's in Massive Attack's band now.
