"Adam Boyle Has Cast Lad Rock Aside" rings very true re things like www.caughtbytheriver.net/

In Fizzle's bucolic vein mentioned above, I am very fond of:

"I wanna fly my biplane
Low over Swaffham
I wanna wave at astonished rustics
I’m gonna plead profitless chicanery"

yeesh, yerright FIzzles, this is pretty boring - will have to listen a few times, see if the lyrics sink in. So far I've only really been impressed with the first two and Arms - it's terribly frontloaded

but yeah this is horribly frontloaded

Chipping in to agree violently. A very average record wig some obvious parody and self-parody moments - "as told to the boil on the cab driver's neck" turns up on two albums on the spin, the second time repeated on this with a tired-sounding "again" tacked on - provide a veneer attempting to give he listener the impression there's more, but I think that's all it is; a veneer.

Baguette Dilemma Is supposed to be The Birthday Party, yes? Nigel comes in all hoarse and says "a-whoopin' and a-hollerin' " which I'm certain is a Nick Cave lift, and the bass solo that starts near the end is supposed to be Tracey Pew I'm sure.

At this time of my life I have no need for a HMHB instrumental track.

Speaking of The Birthday Party I only just discovered this the other day
