Poll question: Manchester or Liverpool?
I've got to go with Manchester myself, despite the continued existence of Man United.

1. Shoegazing or the Beatles?
What else has Liverpool ever done, actually? Just curious.

4. Echo and the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, Liverpool FC,
The La's, various great poets and writers whose names escape me.

5. That's true. Forgot about
Echo and the Bunnyguys. Don't know if I'd ever heard where Teardrop came from, and the La's were dead boring.

I bought the CD, saw em live, and was really glad that I'd gotten free tix.

9. NO!
I mean, sure Ian may still someday come and take me away from all this, but I'll just have to make do with the delectably snotty and rude and arrogant and vile unibrow twins for now.

Grrrrrr, baby. ;)

8. Manchester England, England...
Manchester England England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude
That's me that's me

Claude Hooper Bukowski
Finds that it's groovy
To hide in a movie
Pretends he's Fellini
And Antonioni
And also his countryman Roman Polanski
All rolled into one
One Claud Hooper Bukowski

Now that I've dropped out
Why is life dreary dreary
Answer my weary query
Timothy Leary dearie

Oh Manchester England England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude
That's me (that's he)
That's me (that's he)
That's me (that's he)
That's me

I hate you, Screaming Lord Byron.
