A brilliant version of the best ever Qotsa song btw so that's my vote.

You have already killed yourself and cannot kill yourself again.

One Armed Scissor seems too obvious of a choice so voted Lauren

Shout out to Brassy. They woulda probably been Lucious Jax famous if this album came out like four years earlier

cant say i remember them

― Odysseus, Thursday, 16 March 2017 19:57 (eight years ago)

'One Armed Scissor' is not only the obvious choice, it's the correct choice.

I don't remember this magazine cover at all, fwiw, but then I never really read Melody Maker, so...

Happily MM went down the toilet a few months after that pos cover.

― Dan Worsley, Thursday, 16 March 2017 20:14 (eight years ago)

Chances are, if I had seen the cover at the time, I probably would have laughed my tits off - a Craig David fan I was not - but then I wouldn't have been much of a fan of much that's actually on this compilation either.

― Coolio Iglesias (Turrican), Thursday, 16 March 2017 20:31 (eight years ago)

anyone recall the Lauren Laverne track? i forgot she actually went solo at one point.

Don't Falter is a great single

― boxedjoy, Saturday, 18 March 2017 22:27 (eight years ago)

Brassy were already a great group in 1995

King Adora are absolutely the worst band I've seen more than three times by accident. Or is that Subcircus? Really can't remember which one is which.
