^I'm pretty sure it was you who posted A Certain Ratio, fella. Around the same time you posted The Sound? Same kind of stuff.

But more importantly, I need to listen to A Perfect Circle which I'll be doing in the next day or two. Thanks for the rec, SGR!

"An underrated muso" but don't quote me on it..

I just re-read this post and realised it is quite ambiguous and doesn't mean much, so I scrubbed it. I'd had a few beers and I have no idea why I wrote that 'I was not backing down' lol. I probably thought it was a funny thing to write at the time.

^ I know nothing about these guys, but that's a great track, SGR. I love the way the music, from a standing start,  has several sections of surging, inexorable acceleration which pushes the beat forwards, not just once but several times. Nice.

Here's another track in the "can't believe we missed it" category, this time by Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers. I was listening to this on my way to work yesterday, but in my mind, for four mins and four seconds I was flooring it like the guy who shot the video:-


I consider everything about this song to be glorious, including the cray cray lyrics: "...I'm in love with the modern world....I'm in love with Massachusetts..." and "...Roadrunner once ... Roadrunner twice...". Evocative, or  nonsense? I'm not sure which, so I'm going to go with "brilliant"..

What you desire is of lesser value than what you have found.

I consider this the first punk song, I've loved it since I first heard it
