I think Peggy Suicide was the big hint that something good was coming. Before that i was really take it or leave it - a name in the NME and a couple of singles that I knew which were too mainstream for me like World Shut Your Mouth and Five O'Clock World (although thinking back, that mic-stand should have been the first clue for me) but then I'd never seen the cover of Fried at that point. So there was Peggy, then weird rumblings about Skellington and Droolian which I never found until the HH reissues, then the kerfuffle about Jehovahkill and getting dropped by the label, and that was me sold!
