Cave from the early 90s. In the middle of his golden period.

Unreal, amazing, dancing the signs.
Eddie appears to be one of the gentlemen of rock and roll, his actions there are testament, as are the lyrics to better man, it’s pure poetry.

Here’s another smashing tune from them

Agreed. I read a tribute to Kimberly Rae Schaefer online tonight. An amazing woman by all accounts. She contributed to one of my lasting musical memorie.

Doubtful that there’s any other Buffalo Tom fans but just in case… here’s one of my favourite tunes

Recently said to the wife “you’re a Buffalo Tom fan aren’t you? Didn’t you stick them on a mix tape for me years ago?”. Her: “er, no…never heard of 'em”. Turns out it was a mixtape from an ex.

Your ex had good taste in music,
While we’re on Boston alt rock, here’s another

Pity she was a bit of a cunt. The Mrs has great taste in music generally so an upgrade on all fronts

Great band.

They were on the Dave Fanning show the day Cobain committed suicide.

Belly were excellent and Tanya was nice enough to look at, a bonus. Throwing Muses had some good tunes before they imploded… that have stood the test of time, 2014.

A small touch of the Blue Nile…

This one was a stone cold classic. Sounds as good today 26 years later…

Throwing Muses … Not too Soon

Funny that, I considered Throwing muses for this thread but thought the belly song might have been more memorable for lads, I love when someone posts a song I’ve not heard of or thought about in years, it can keep me going for days.
I’ve been listening to Copper Blue a fair bit recently for that very reason, I spent time listening to JJ72 last night to remember which of their songs I liked, and I’ll be rooting out The Blue Nile later on,
Keep up the good work

You’re welcome.

You’re welcome again.

Yeah, cheers for bringing Sugar back in my life for a while, not too sure about the other crowd, I could have sworn they had a single that I really liked, now I’m not so sure, must have had them mixed up with someone else, similar blond pretty boy singer, maybe number in their name, any ideas who I am thinking of?
