Gavin Hellyer Everything's here to be sure. A reissue of a very rare record from 1984, hardcore, acoustic, general house sounds, discordant noise, non-sensical verbiage, children singing in the bath between tracks, there might even be a kitchen sink somewhere if you look and listen hard enough. They've come back with some reunion gigs in their home town of Austin, Texas this year, so I'm pleased to have become aware of them through The Wire Magazine Issue 476. Favorite track: Final Curtain.

Another Pair 01:40
We wish we were beyond discourse about breast size, but clearly we're not. Jamie says: "As the subject of this song I recall basically thinking at the time, 'Well, of course he wants to cheat on me! I'm lacking in boobs!'". Mellissa says: "As the writer of the song, I was outraged by that and wanted to empower her to find someone better". lyrics There's another pair of breasts on the other side of town You know I love you baby, when you're around, But there's another pair of breasts on the other side of town They're bigger than yours so I gotta fool around, oh yeah There's another guy that I see on the side He's really nice and he understands my problems He likes my breasts Yes, he thinks they're fine That's where I go when you start to whine
