  4. Anon., I was thinking of posting "And Don't the Kids Just Love It" & "Mummy You're Not Watching Me." I might add the "Yes Darling, but Is It Art?" comp for good measure

  5. That would be great.

    P.S. Sorry for getting out of context, but can we expect some more Epic Soundtracks? Like "Rise Above", for example

    P.S.S. Are you interested in russian (!) post-punk? I could give you some interesting bands.

    And, finally, thanks for the blog, there are so many gems of music in here.

  6. Anon., I do plan to post more Epic Soundtracks and Nikki Sudden. I'll try to get some more Epic up in the somewhat near future. I don't know much about Russian Post-Punk, so if you could send me a few of the bands, I would be very grateful!

  7. I really look forward to posts from this band. Now I know where the Psychedelic Furs got their sound.

  8. scurfie, what's amazing about this band is the wide range of bands they influenced. A few others would be Jesus & Mary Chain, Pavement, Bell & Sebastian, Arctic Monkeys, the list goes on...

  9. Well I must admit to not knowing anything about this bands recorded works, perhaps a stray song here or there, but that's it. Great observation by Scurfie, which is only proven by the video you posted. So I say thanks for putting Television Personalities on my radar.
