Dirty Dancing is definitely missable. I remember liking Himawari a lot when it came out (2000?) but haven't listened to it in ages so possibly not as outstanding as I thought at the time? Having said that my taste has changed (expanded in a positive way I like to think ; ) quite a bit since then so that's perhaps why. The Swayzak vs. Theorem tunes are _really_ good though.

Well, I grew up in the 70's, and tbh a lot of the stuff that was punk rock didn't really ring that true back then either. But - it was something different, and in this respect your comment is spot-on. Thanks!
