yes, the live show I saw (admittedly a a few years ago, but still 
after their punk /lo-fi beginnings) was pretty chaotic, and not 
nearly good musically as on record. Didn't hear the Peel show the 
other night though. I was going to joke about the surname being 
shared by many people, but I've now got it in my head that the 2 may 
have somehow worked together, or there was maybe a remix of one done 
by the other. Can't recall (he said, helpfully).
