Portishead, Elbow, David Holmes, Balck Angels, Gunslingers, Notwist, Brian Wilson, Geoff Soule, Spiritulaized, Blow Monkeys, Retribution Gospel Choir.
And my eldest got me the Fuck Buttons cd for xmas and on the strength of just one play I reckon this could figure be a fave. (How times change! I'm trying to imagine my dad's face if I'd bought him a record by someone called Fuck Buttons. When I bought Never Mind The Bollocks at the time my mum said "Don't let your dad see it!!")
