NO! Stick with it! You may not get it on the first go, but keep on listening and 
pay particular attention to the lyrics. I didn't like them at first, but they are, you 
could say, an aquired love.

Gaz Top, for all americans etc is a 'quirky' childrens TV (science programmes 
mainly) presenter with (at the moment) ridiculous spiky blonde hair.

....oh, come on, I think it's pretty fair to say that Blur invented "Britpop" at 
least. And, before you get on your high horse, we all make the occasional 
stupid comment - I bet B&S themselves cringe when they hear themselves on 
Mark Lamarr saying that they 'Only give out their address to birds'

Nah, with ride it wasn't really a formula, just a mood. I still love Ride, contrary 
to the impression previously given, so if anyone wants to criticise them I'll take 
them on. Still, I'll not forgive Andy Bell for either Hurricane #1 or THAT Sun 
advert.

> Stuart M sulks for three days
Just a nice request - can people stop referring to Stuart as 'Stuart M' - As a 
huge Mogwai fanatic I always think for a second you mean Stuart Mogwai AKA 
pLasmaTron and am therefore put down to find you don't mean him at all. 
Thankyou.

Personally I love everything B&S have ever done, except...
1) I suppose the session 'Seeing other people' is a little out of tune
2) The new 'The State I Am In' is not nearly as good as the original, and 
therefore just makes me wast to listen to it
3) I think 'Beautiful' takes the whole twee thing a little too far. Just a little.

.....and they say there is no justice in the world. Andrew, I hope you enjoy this 
e-mail! 'usubscribe' indeed!

	So, that's done with all those old threads, and onto a new one. I just 
bought a double A-side 7" single with Stereolab on one side and Fuxa on the 
other. I hadn't heard of Fuxa before, but I LOVE their track. Does anyone know 
anything about them?
