| What exactly do you mean by "British Music" ?
Music played only by Britons?
Music recorded/played/written/(whatever?) in Britain?
Where does for eg.U2,A-Ha,Gipsy Kings,(not to mention bands from
Down-Under and Across the Pond) fit in?
Will we have to wait until Stewart Copeland(The Police's Drummer)
gets his British passport??? :-)

| 543.8 | This was obvious... | BAHTAT::STURROCK | An earwig crawled into my ear... | Fri Dec 01 1989 09:47 | 17 |
| 1. The Smiths/Morrissey - Just somebody who knew how I felt - and God I
needed that when I was younger (still do).
2. The Cure - Similar atitude to The Smiths but much more atmospheric
and plenty of imagery.
3. James - The best live band in the world!
4. The Wedding Present - Most down to Earth lyrics coupled with angry
guitars - great stuff.
5. Talking Heads - First got interested in 'Road To Nowhere' - some
really good stuff over the past 10 years.
6. R.E.M. - It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine!
7. New Order/Joy Division - Best of the electronic early 80's
8. The Jam - Best of the mods. How can anyone forget these guys.
9. Inspiral Carpets - Showing loads of promise.
10.Simple Minds - Beat U2 to the 10th spot because of a certain single
'DYFAM'

U 2 !!!
Terminal illness is the only cure for these boys and creepy Adam

5. The Cure 6. The Sugarcubes

The correct answer is of course The Pogues.
And may be true for the 90's also, if they stay "well"

| I read an interview with Shane recently and the future of the Pogues
didn't seem very safe at all, speculation is one thing but when the
lead singer says he's fed up with the whole thing then there must be
something to it.

Hi Folks,
as I didn't know, in which topic I'm able to write my comment, I've
selected this one. Please excuse me for that.
I'm a German guy and live near Hamburg (this is the reason for my bad
English). I do like you all, to do me a favour.
I'm a big IT BITES fan. They're totally unknown, here in Germany. They
all from Cumbria but have moved over to London in times. The
Singer/Guitarist Francis Dunnery has recently left the Band and has
moved over to Los Angeles. A new singer, Lee Knott, has joined the
band. I have collected a lot of their items. But it is very difficult
to get their stuff, over here in Germany. So this is my question:
Are there any IT BITES fans out there? I will love it to get any reply
of this ad.
Thanx a lot for your forthcomming help.

Calling All The Heroes somewhere in my collection.

| 543.29 | Signed Calling All The Heroes. Great! | HAMIS3::BRUEHL | TALK TO ME | Wed Apr 03 1991 16:35 | 13 |

Hello Tim,
some great news. Do you remember what size the record has?
7" or 12"? Are you able to sell me this record? Or we, maybee,
can do a swap. Who has signed the record?
If you're going to offer me this item, please let me know, how much it
will cost.
Thanx.
|PETER|
|
| 543.30 | | CHEFS::PRICET | A Sonic Youth | Wed Apr 03 1991 16:48 | 9 |
| Peter its a 7", I can't remember who signed it but I think it was the
whole group.
I'm sorry I can't sell it or swap it, record collecting is a hobby of
mine and I don't really like to part with them once I have them, I'll
look tonight and see who signed it.
Tim

| 543.31 | Have you met them? | HAMIS3::BRUEHL | TALK TO ME | Wed Apr 03 1991 16:59 | 13 |

Tim,
thankyou anyway.
If you're collecting records, I can let you get an unsigned 7" Calling
All The Heroes. But it is ok, if you're going to hold this item in your
collection. Eventually you can let me get a Photocopy of the cover.
Have a nice evening.
