Nu då...

Newsflash:
It's still raining.
Today I read an article in Word magazine about "Bands that only I like"...
My nomination would have to be It's Immaterial. One solitary hit with "Driving Away From Home" but a first album of almost complete perfection. Laugh-out-loud funny, off-kilter, tuneful, indie-when-it-still-meant-something magic. And a second album that slipped out without anyone even noticing. Except your eagle-eyed blogger...
Here is the best hit-that-never-was that I can think of

And a video that I-never-knew-existed

And the one-and-only-hit

Sixth form common rooms, album sleeves for school-book covers, scratching the band name in the same font (though it wasn't called a font in those days) on my school bag, coats for goalposts.
Isn't it?
