    The store was vandalised on 6th June 2007.

    Unfortunately, this desk opens all over again. :(

    Something like 30 (quality) pages lost!

    Still, at least it's possible now to implement a lexicon.

    In every negative there's a positive.

    Oh dear. :(

    The Smiths it is then.

  • Ooh? The Smiths aren't heartbroken, they're too-frustrated-to-force-my-heart-onto-anybody-in-the-first-place :D heartbreak's all The Wedding Present (David Gedge must have owned and discarded more hearts than forty years' worth of Doctor Whos). Try Spangle (okay, I don't know why it's not linking but it's on the "Watusi" album) for mournful moments and Brassneck for "grr" and a good two thirds of the "George Best" album for all in between with a nice sense of self-pitying humour. With that band in your pocket there is close to no romantic disaster you won't be prepared for.

  • Billie Holiday ...how could I forget that!!

    btw, The Wedding Present tracks were hard to find.

  • Ah yeah, you see, back in my time we sometimes used to keep a band or song name in mind for a couple of days and buy their records when we got into town, so I can sometimes be a little oblivious to these problems you youngsters have ... sorry 'bout that! If you do ever find them, try them, though ;)

  • Well, the Ukrainian songs are not their own songs (they're Ukrainian folk songs recorded during a Peel Session with the specific purpose, they got the idea because then-guitarist Peter Solowka had Ukrainian roots) :D they do have plenty of upbeat songs, though (though trust me, "Spangle" is not one of them), I'll admit that. Even upbeat songs about heartbreak (lots, in fact, that's why I love them so much, I guess).

    Tracks that generate a certain energy (a fireworks display in your head).

    They could be loud, intense, or just plain clever. Anything with a presence.

    Supercharged...
