Peters of The Alarm was just on the news. They released a new single (45
RPM) but knowing that they wouldn't get airplay due to being in their
40's they pretended to be a new band called The Poppyfields and got a
young unknown band to mime on the video for them. The single is in the
charts at 28, just shows how much the industry is about image these
days.
I've just noticed on their website (http://www.thealarm.tv/) that they
are playing locally tomorrow, let's hope they haven't sold out - should
be a good gig.

I know what you mean. I have about 3 rather large plastic bins full of
12" vinyl, and several smaller crates loaded up with classic and rare
7"s and I never listen to them anymore because I'm too cheap and lazy to
buy a turntable. I'm just happy that Alternative Tentacles decided to
re-release many of the skaterock classics of the '80s.

if he had a turntable)
