Anna, I definitely trust you over Pitchfork[ however Stephen is one of my favorites there].
I have you to thank for turning me on to The World Record and Sugarplatic etc.

He's a really great pop vocalist and pulled it off live as well.  Of course, he's no Robin Zander, but it's not reallly that style.  On the other hand, since he didn't have a keyboard to hide behind, he did seem to affect a few classic Zander poses while doing his thing.  I found it rather charming.  I got a partial video of the Buzzcocks cover and have it on my Facebook page, If I get it on YouTube or something, I'll post the link.
