And my,did i use to fancy this bloke as a kid:

Savage Clone · 07.12.2006, 12:16 PM

I'm more of an English Settlement/Black Sea/Big Express/Skylarking guy when it comes to XTC.

porkmarras · 07.12.2006, 12:19 PM

English Settlement is another excellent one of theirs.This guy's hair was most certainly scary but he could churn out a few good tunes on a good day:

porkmarras · 07.12.2006, 12:20 PM

And he had a mime on stage with him(apart from a fortress made of 56.000 synths)

Savage Clone · 07.12.2006, 12:20 PM

I saw him when I was 14.
Lots of costumes.
Dear god...
That music has dated badly.

porkmarras · 07.12.2006, 12:20 PM

And what happened to the mime?

There is nothing sadder than an unemployed mime.

I'm not Courtney Love's greatest fan but i laughed my head off when i read that she toured with Jane's Addiction and on a soundcheck she lost it to one the mimes employed by Farrell and co. and she kicked him in the butt.

Human League's 'Dare' is an album that i'll always have time for.

Now why would a well mannered girl like her do a silly thing like that?

Just the butt, not the balls? That's pretty lame.

That one song by Yello, from Ferris Bueller. That was the 80's.

And Money For Nothing.

Hey, there's some good stuff here that I'm going to have to go and revisit. Especially XTC - I keep meaning to buy one of their singles albums, but the X section is such a long way through the store and I get distracted.

As for Dream Syndicate, if I've said it once on this forum, I've said it a thousand times, I wish to God someone would rerelease Medicine Show on CD. And thanks for the heads up on the Kendra Smith 10", Savage Clone. Sounds good, I'll keep an eye out for that. Good call on early Ultravox too - have you heard their live 7"? Excellent stuff.

As for you Porkie.... Did you ever see The Mission live (we are talking about Wayne Hussey and chums aren't we?). Complete overblown drivel. And don't get me started on the fucking Eskimos and their human towers... I forgive you though, as you're a supa-dupa guy and the rest of the bands you mentioned are class.
