Interesting...but Dissappointed lands a close second I think...

P.I.L - "Dissappointed"
Morrissey - "Dissappointed"
Electronic - "Dissapointed"
XTC - "The Dissappointed"
       ^^^
	It's got a "the" in it, but close enough.

Again, they're all different, pretty damn good, and they are all alternative/
modern rock bands...

Any additions?...

	I can only side with that. And, according to Marius's definition,
it's The Other Two that merits the distinction as NO follow-up. To the point
where the critics seem to unnanimously acclaim their sound as "pure NO
style" (as seen on TV here). This is certainly not the case of Electronic
and Revenge. I thing Gillian's voice is a nice variation to Bernard's
undisputed monopoly on vocals since 1981.

I've heard it once, and on that basis, I'd say it's worth getting.  Picture
*Imperial f.f.r.r.* done on (mostly) accoustic guitar.  All of the songs
are credited on the sleeve to various thirties and forties songwriters
(Gershwin, Rogers-Hammerstein, etc.).  However, I strongly suspect that
most of the songs are actually original compositions by the band (I say
this, even though I'm extremely unfamiliar with pre-rock-n-roll pop 
music.  Clarifications are extremely welcome).

Walt,
   I am not saying that wearing flannel will make one cool or uncool. I was
merely trying to point out that untill very recently flannel was not as
popular as it is today. Personally, I cherish my flannels and would not
want them to get stunk up or have stuff spilled on them. I would rather
wear some oxford for that, but that is just me.

A while ago I heard a song by a group I'm pretty sure was called Eskimos in
Egypt. It starts by sampling GNR's Sweet Child and then the singer goes off
about Axl, etc. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this song , if
they have an album out, or whatever?
I remember the song was on a compilation a friend of mine got in Tokyo (I
think it was a UK import) called "Unbelievable," which had a lot of cool
songs on it- stuff by the Wolfgang Press, the Shamen, the Farm, Indians in
Moscow (?  something like that), and the Eskimos in Egypt song. I'd like to
get ahold of that CD. It was released under some label that sounded like
"Music for Posh Kids" or "Posh Music for Kids" or something like that.
Anyone know anything about it and/or where I can get it? Thanks.

Oog, this is turning into one of those awful rec.audio flame wars, but I
must say:

What on earth makes you think the human ear is capable of hearing
frequencies above 22kHz? Most adult ears poop out at around 17-18 and
many people have lost more than that (esp. if they went to any My Bloody
Valentine gigs). This stuff has been measured pretty extensively, it's
not really controversial except among the psycho analog die-hards and the
green-magic-marker crowd.

Sonic Youth may not like CDs, but they're not the first people I'd turn
to for audiophile advice. Consider that they were not in the front row
but actually ON STAGE at every last one of their shows. Now can _they_
hear 44kHz frequencies?

  Aye, the Close Lobsters, friendly band - they even recorded a copy of their
demo on the tape I sent them, most tapes I sent off after prompting from the
fanzines of that era just dissapeared.  If I ever come across an ex-Hobgoblin
or ex-Cloud or even ex-Groovy Little Number I'll expect a drink off them as
some form of compensation.

  Their first release was a track on the seminal "C86" cassette released by the
music paper NME, after a scene started to emerge the album was also released
on vinyl, the Close Lobsters track was "Firestation Towers" and was excellent.
Their first release proper was "I'm going to heaven to see if it rains", I've
got the 7" but I reckon a 12" was released as well, also very good.  The
second release was "Never Seen Before", this was a 12".  After that I gave up
on the band, live they were a bit shambolic although the excessive drunkeness
of the lead singer didn't help.  The lead guitarist always looked a bit
embarrassed as though he'd rather be playing Status Quo records in his bedroom.

In case anybody was wondering...the Utah Saints do sing on the album in
a couple songs (including an extremely fine cover of Simple Mind's song
