Re: (TV) Heated debates

["Raymond" <ray@wavewalker.freeserve.co.uk>]

Pavement's trump card was always their sense of humour and they get my vote
every time just for pissing off that egotistical bald goon who sings with
the Smashing Pumpkins

i warmed to Malkmus again recently when i finally got to hear that tune
about Yul Bryner - wonderful stuff.....

Unfortunately Polvo (like Silkworm) are a bit too melodically dull tunewise
and overly cerebral in approach for my tastes Maurice plus they neither
support or know anything about obscure english football teams unlike Mr M.

Things like that are important in bands no?
