What - no Matthew Sweet? No Todd Rundgren? No Joe Jackson.....oh yeah of course not, they're not on EMI.......

What will they think of next to "sell" the punters....

P.S. High marks given though for the Records - damn good band they were!!

Brinsley Schwarz is power pop? I thought they were pub rock!
