I was beaten to this over on RR, but can't really think of a better song.

(PS - this is post ~~400~~ 401! Wowsers!)

Was it really 15 years ago?

scarymonster said...: Yes, I too had high hopes but after the towering achievement that was DMS, it was downhill in the main, although She's In Fashion and a few Tears tracks suggest what might have been.

Brett's home, Haywards Heath, is about 20 miles from "far away" Worthing - and it's not very exciting when you get there...

Love "Dog Man Star" and most of the first album. Shame it all went wrong.; April 5, 2008 at 7:08 PM
