My University mates' band used to do a cover of it. Not that it was particularly amazing... Isn't most of that material on the Peggy Suicide Deluxe edition? I don't know as I have neither.

'Everyone' tended to dismiss them out of hand for ripping off Interpol/Joy Division. Pretty good influence to have though. Might have to check out their 2nd album now... what else? Oh yeah that really annoying Scottish DJ used to date the frontman. Edith Bowman. Mind you I'm not sure if I've ever listened to a DJ that hasn't grated.

Cool track to cover. The stuff on Peggy Deluxe is singles etc...from later (Peggy era) singles/material. The Followers of St Julian is tracks collected from assorted singles from around the time of Saint Julian (86/87). Deffo worth picking up, though I believe it was a bit of an Island Records cash in at the time. I suppose it serves as a companion to St Julian, in the same was as those Peggy/Jehovahkill deluxe editions collected the various singles/b-sides etc onto disc 2.. Here's what Jason Parkes, Amazons No.1 reviewer yarbles about it "This compilation stems from 1986/87's rebirth of once Fried-Droolian to St Julian- the succesful, outwardly commercial phase. These songs stem from the editions of singles World Shut Your Mouth, Trampolene & Eve's Volcano- at that point in time there were no silly rules regarding duration, the number of formats or how many different tracks you could include. So a cornocopia of lovelies were often found on cassingles, 12" remixes and the like... We get the tracks from the original 12" of World Shut Your Mouth- the kicking original Umpteenth Unnatrual Blues and covers of 13th Floor Elevators' Levitation and Pere Ubu's Non-alignment Pact (found on the Easter Everywhere & Modern Dance albums respectively). From a remix 12" we get the interesting Troublefunk mix of World Shut Yr Mouth- which predates all that baggie nonsense of a few years later in the rock/dance fusion department that would attach itself to bands like Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and even U2. The tracks from the Trampolene 12" are probably the best songs here- Disaster remains one of his finest songs, while Mock Turtle and Warwick the Kingmaker prove that the Fried-sound had not been completely consigned to the past. Warne Livesy (The The, Wiseblood) overhauls Trampolene wonderfully from another format of Trampolene (there are also two versions of Transporting/Trainsporting from various formats- this was Cope's intro tape and first experiment with he who would become Thighpaulsandra). The remaining tracks are from the horrible Eve's Volcano (Covered in Sin) single- easily the worst track on St Julian (it ripped off a terrible Rolling Stones song, for a start). Should have been Spacehopper, Shot Down or St Julian! The Volcano Lungo mix is very of its time; though b-side Almost Beautiful Child is rather divine stuff"

Frank Zappa - Hammersmith '78 ...at long, long last, my Holy Grail, the Yerbouti gigs that are one of my treasured memories. Just show what a high bar FZ had on releases - fabulous stuff. Going for under £22 on A****n at the mo, hate using, just had to have. Grab this Mother.. Totally chuffed Frank Zappa - Philly '76 Frank Zappa - Oz....thereby making a hat trick of wonderful official rereleases.. worth it for the packaging alone, this stuff Talk Talk - The Colour of Spring (remastered) ..expanded to an hour of beauty. On YouTube. Played on sunny morning with birds outside. Bliss... Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Zuma The Divine Comedy - Foreverland Grateful Dead - Fox Theatre St Louis, Dec 10th 1971 Jimmy Page and Robert Plant - No Quarter David Bowie - BBC 2000 Procul Harum - Novum Tim Hardin - Hang On To A Dream - The Verve Recordings Tim Hardin - Bird On A Wire ...still bigging TH Dennis Brown - Dubbing At King Tubbys Chet Baker - Sings Dave Swarbrick - It Suits Me Well: The Transatlantic Recordings 1976 - 1983 Keith Hudson - Nuh Skin Up Otis Taylor - Fantasizing About Being Black Jackson Browne - The Pretender V/A - Pigs Might Fly (Mojo comp) V/A - Dub Chillout ...

Reverend Horton Heat - loads of stuff thanks to my record store mate as after hours browsing soundtrack.. what a player, what a band ...effing hell, can't believe I've actually found round tuit and done a SOOL, been weeks when have been meaning to. Tooth that was making me gaga and could have done for me with blood poisoning and sepsis under sinus out, head and health slowly returning ..horrible divorce thanks to her solicitor ongoing. My house purchase and escape route screwed in a trice, it would seem. Right before my youngest's A levels. Couldn't make it up... Thank fuck there's the music... Interesting year, 2017

Monganaut wrote: Sonic Youth - Washing Machine Not one that gets a spin that often these days, but enjoyable enough when it does.Gotta be in the right mood for the Diamond Sea though, it does go on a bit. WM -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wPPhifmRoA Just got that album last week. Not bad at all. I am liking Sonic Youth again. Went off them for a while. Trying to catch up with where I left them before (post Dirty). As for Diamond Sea, I love it - there is an even longer version on the wonderful cd of rarities "The Destroyed Room" (which I heard first so on hearing the album version it now sounds too short).
