I picked up Drunken Songs, Rite At Ya, the Mick Goodby booklet and the Nurse With Mound EP. Found Drunken Songs a mixed bag on first listen- it starts well but then seems to trail off into self-indulgence. I probably preferred Rite At Ya, which is definitely worth a punt if you enjoy that more meditative side of the Drude's output. And I did really enjoy the Nurse With Mound EP though it was shorter than I expected- nine songs, yes, but with a total running time of 13 minutes...
Drunken Songs improves with a few listens I've found. Quite like it :)
