Love those guys.
"Falling and Laughing" is a classic track.
Best part: Edwyn Collins is recording again after suffering a pretty

In fact, can't quibble with any of the Postcard label bands.

ps: love the Cavanagh book, though it was nearly the end of me. Took

reading any particularly difficult tome as "Getting Magpied."
