thats pretty impressive.

Thank you.

Tough call picking 3 - could have had Belle & Sebastian, Half Man Half Biscuit, DJ Shadow, The Shins, Rufus Wainwright and many others in there...

Never got the chance to see Orbital live, sadly banghead

Oddly enough, off to see Kurt Wagner (of Lambchop) at the SageGateshead next Sunday :coool:

Impossible to narrow it down from lots of groups, however, if pressed I would say...

Someone once lent me some Beefheart albums, most of it was like trying to read Dostoevsky in Gujarati but Moonlight on Vermont is still one of my top ten favourite songs ever.
By the way are you named after a Syd Barret song?

Now I know none of them are recent, and I do like a lot of modern day groups, but those three are still the best.
When your new lads have stood the test of time, give me a reminder.
