I like Slunberland's description of this - dark jangle. Fits it perfectly.

Laurel Heights is pure jangle heaven!

Oh that’s interesting! I presumed they definitely weren’t popular outside of the US. I remember reading in a book about The Doors that Jim Morrison aspired to be as big as Love. The book kinda portrayed that as a lack of ambition/low expectations.

I love these articles. Indeed, all your articles. I have a question/suggestion - in my mind Love are talked about in similar terms. I’d love to know if they were actually popular/successful at the time.

How do you know they haven't? In-simulation characters would be unaware of it surely?

Sorry for your loss. I think I met your brother. At least I met someone who claimed to be your brother. Was working in Security. Was a nice big fella.

I actually wondered that as I was typing my first post. Good to know.

For a second, I thought you were referring to the band Squeeze! :D

I've got good and bad news for you. There is! But it stinks. :(

Five thirty should have been massive. A few years later and they would have been.

You're like the Adam Curtis of music; finding these weird wee coincidences and synchronicities. :D

The Jesus and Mary Chain did some excellent remixes of this

Can you really call it a UK tour if all the dates are in England?

To my eternal shame, I did not like this album at the time. I loved Liquidizer and Doubt so I'm not even sure why; it's not even that much of a departure from them. I rediscovered it years later and really rate it now.

"Sang about Glasgow. Didn't sing about Sweden. Jury is out. Likely 'not proven'" - brilliant!

I bloody loved it! I think Stewart Lee should be a co-host on it though.

Hadn't heard of Balloon Balloon Balloon before. That is right up my street. Thanks for posting!

Maybe the aphantasia is what made you a great artist?
