maybe not Jo - after all, she greeted Trout Mask Replica's appearance 
with "Captain Beefheart? Who's he? Never heard of him!"

On a completely shameless self-promotion tip, have a look at the top 
100 Scottish albums.

I don't think I would be getting above myself to suggest there'd have 
been more of john's favourites in that one than the new Channel 4 one!

well, I do remember Trencher playing live very recently so I assume 
they were favourites. That said, I'm never sure of the differences 
between death/black/grind/speed/heavy metal. (I just got sent the new 
Motley Crue compilation though, i was able to file that one pretty 
easily!)
