I tell you what: If there's any Wonderstuff fans around, they were selling copies of A Wish Away as their "new single". So that's fairly firm dating.Spiggy's hat wrote:If the Bolshoi were supporting AAE that night it was May 88.
I was at that gig too, and had my walkman conficated 2 songs into the set

I looked it up and it was '88.

Not going too far into lists but Polly Jean was hot, sticky and excellent at the Uni last night. Air conditioning would ruin that place, I think...
I am a Leeds United fan because I was very naughty in a previous life.

myself and a chap called eBlue commented on the fact that even though they tried really, really hard to be specimen, they had neither the tunes, the talent nor the cheekbones.. and that in fact they were actually just a bunch of stunningly average goth musicians. oh, and i think we may have also said that the lass couldn't carry a tune in a bucket
seems their singer, "mr ed", got a trifle upset and has since been asking friends of friends who i am in a bid to validate his band's worth by trying to proove that with a name like "quiff boy" i must have no idea what goth music is about.
all of which was made even more amusing when they turned up at the "heartland vs the sheep" night last week and even danced to half the tunes i played

Oh, and I'm going to see Carl-Johan Vallgren on November 24.
He's living in Berlin. Write books. And do gigs.
Heard of him?

I've often wondered, was that album made from a confiscated bootleg as the remark at the very end of it suggests, or was it just added afterwards to make people think it was?James Blast wrote:I also saw Bauhaus on the Sky's Gone Out/Press The Eject and Give Me The Tape tour

@ Dan added afterwards I'd say, the sound quality of the album is too good

Paradise Lost were a great band in waiting, then they decided to be something else.
Why?
