Rob, the Flickers, eagleowl, 2HMB, formerly the Kays although recording with them. Erm... Spandau Ballet? Small Town Boredom, or is that just a mate's band? How many?

People are always a little too keen to see connections and patterns.

Just the feel of the opener, for example, and then something about the way the mood rises and falls. It's not that obvious, and I am not explaining it very well, but it may also be related to the way songs with very different atmospheres are put together on a single EP. I have no idea what I'm talking about, do I? Well it’s quite a subtle thing. Just the feel of the opener, for example, and then something about the way the mood rises and falls.

I didn't realise it was similar in order to the eaglowl EP till i thought more about it. It could be made more similar by changing the last song to "we walk in the room, mother-funner" Thanks so much for this.

And Bart." I am quite allergic to folk music of many types. Rinky-dinky-diddley-dee folk music makes me want to stab a set of bagpipes to death.
