Dino Jr. have very catchy tunes. J Mascis is just as good a songwriter as he is a guitar player.

This is true. P.S. keep the yank/Limey conversation going. That's the some of the best stuff on here.Marky Dread wrote:Aww come on Chuck that's total bullshit I bet I own more Dinosaur Jr. records than you do.

Re: Heston's Friday Top 5
Not sure how many have heard Paul Heaton's first solo album, Fat Chance, under the name Biscuit Boy (from 2001). Anyways, its really good and well worth a listen. Also, virtually all instruments are played by Martin & Scott from the Mescaleros. They also produce the album and co-write about 1/2 the songs. I've always loved the credits, where Heaton thanks "Joe at the Joe Strummer Matchmaking Agency".

10 Lessons in Love, The Perfect Couple, If & Man, Girl, Boy, Woman are the four I'd recommend to see if you thought it was worth giving a second chance.Dr. Medulla wrote:Huh.

Did you like the "Phil Collins Must Die" one off the new album? I figured that one must have been test marketed for IMCT.

That one stood out for me, at least for the title.Did you like the "Phil Collins Must Die" one off the new album? I figured that one must have been test marketed for IMCT.

Re: Heston's Friday Top 5
I'm sure we did Buddy but not in this thread so he needs to get a top 5 here. I remember a discussion with Wolt about how great "Rave On" is, which is and always will be my number one.tepista wrote:Have we done Budford Holland and his Chirping Insects?
