RE: (TV) #9 in "Best Debuts" list

[Murray Ramone <murrayramone@hotmail.com>]

oddly enough I'm working my way through the husker du catalogue on my mp3
player at the moment - everything except land speed record !



for me I've always thought they peaked at flip your wig - but that was the
first one I heard, not that long before I saw them at potterow but I'm pretty
sure that whatever was the first one that I heard (with the probable exception
of everything falls apart) would be the 'defining' one for me because they've
all got something amazing going on



are you playing in a band these days billy ? still in edinburgh ?
