lol. You should know by now that it's ILX and if B&S are in a poll, their fans turn out to vote regardless of who else is in it.
let go, you sad Steps apologist.

Maybe this was mentioned elsewhere, but did anyone else watch that documentary 'Caledonia Dreaming' on BBC4 on Friday? As a history of Postcard Records it was a bit flimsy, as a history of Scottish pop since then it was a total travesty I thought.
Random bits of annoyance: Fran Healey; Teenage Fanclub "an influence on Nirvana and the Pixies" my arse; No JAMC!; No Pastels!; I'm not a fan or anything but, um, no Big Country?; err lots of other stuff too probably
Also - total shocker seeing Edwyn Collins in that programme that followed :o(

Well good luck to him, it did look like he had got a lot better than he was to start with. Wonder if he's got his right arm back yet or not.
Also re 'Caledonia Dreaming' - I hate that thing they do in music documentaries where they run out of footage and keep doing close up shots of the label of the same one record over and over again. Buy another single you stingy bastards or something.

it was dreadful. they didn't even mention aztec camera! there were only four bands on postcard, c'mon. wall to wall hue and cry. i even glimpsed fish on screen for about a second. the footage of alan horne and edwyn in their pomp was great though. the edwyn documentary that followed was heartbreaking.
