man, has anybody commented about these?
 
there are some AWESOME songs on the 78 Saab release of "Crossing Lines'-the Aussie only release is not so easy to get, tho Not Lame has it, and you can probably try ebay too....some excellent melodic stuff, especially "Cops" and "Come On".....some good jangly sounds...

new UK release by the Kooks is pretty good too....single "Eddie's Gun" is super..not all great, but worth it, I say!

and I dig the 2003 cd by Finnish band MEW called "Frengers"....kinda almost sorta proggy, in a Radiohead way, but not the crappy tuneless recent R-Head, but more melodic and song-oriented......"Am I Wry, No" is outstanding, and I did pick up their new one in LA whilst at the Rasberries show in October, and it's swell too....
