Sounds wicked. Do you know if the live TV performance of Collapsing New People features Neubauten?
...Because that would seal the deal for me.
Aw shit, please tell me that’s the one with Tovey covered in tar and feathers
Right. So today thanks to a gift certificate and store credit at Amoeba that box set was one of my purchases. Me = happy.
Wow. I’ve actually been thinking more about box sets lately. I’d love so much to have the Kirsty MacColl one. And god that Fall Peel Sessions one is so pricey. Ugh.
I’d love so much to have the Kirsty MacColl one.
Finding that for about half-off in the Tower mania was a treat, I have to say.
