Notes & Queries
Lush - Lovelife
******* Brilliant, even if they are Spurs fans
Puff The Magic Dragon
The saddest song ever written.
Mobile Phone Stuff
My little used mobile 'phone is a Siemens S55. I created these files as my background and ring tone. I did ask first before posting them here, but I bet Julianne's forgotten!

Treats
Here are a few rare tracks that you ought to listen to.
| Artist | Track | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Olta Boka | Zemr n e lam peng | Eurovision | Shows why Eurovision is so crap when this failed to win. |
| Si-Se | Como el Cielo | Tributo a the Cure | Just Like Heaven (Total Mix). Didn't think The Cure could sound like this did you! |
| The Bolshoi | Away | Friends | If this isn't in your record collection, you should be ashamed! |
| Kite | Greenwich Park | Demo Tape | Trevor Tanner recorded several tracks after The Bolshoi's demise. This is one of my favourites and unreleased. |
| Farmer's Boys | The Way You Made Me Cry | John Peel Session | What the hell. Not exactly trendy, but they wrote some great songs. So there! |
| Strawberry Switchblade | Go Away | John Peel Session | The best version |
| Picture Book | Laughing In To My Hand | Single | If only I still had my copy of the single. This is from the one I added to their demo tape, so apologies for the quality. |
| All About Eve | Silver Song | Single | Never released on CD and there have been enough excuses to do so and it's too good to remain hidden. |
| Associates | This Party Fears Two | 12" Single | It doesn't get better than this. Thank you Billy, RIP. |
| Barry Andrews | Rossmore Road | 7" Single | Okay, who's been along to see Rossmore Road on the strength of this? Er, apart from me that is! |
