That'd be right. A special night for me as I was getting very excited 
about anything the Cocteaus did at that time and was just getting to 
like the Smiths again after loving the early singles and hating their 
live set (first album tour, I think - for me they were blown away by the
Red Guitars who were supporting that night).

Not me, sadly. I only have my (ahem) radio compilations, undated but 
I might be able to guess. For me it's always been purely about the 
music although I do enjoy a bit of supporting information (if pushed
I could probably still recite all the info on the labels of the first 
few Stranglers singles but we won't go into that). But this reminds me, 
1992-ish being approximately the year I was able to start making 
decent quality tapes, the (first?) Stereolab session was amazing 
(Superelectric, Changer, Doubt, and another one - Difficult 4th Title?
see I can almost remember all the titles without thinking about it, 
THAT's how much impact it made). It's on the Too Pure Peel sessions 
album and it's excellent. I should get that album.


Back to the present, I heard a bit of Tuesday's show in the car and 
there's a new Clinic session due in July. Will I get kicked off the 
list if I say their new single sounds a bit 70's and even a bit like 
Gomez?
