# I saw her about '86 at Sheffield University
As a solo artist she isn't bad, but I still think she was far better in The Sugarcubes, who weren't really a punk bank as mentioned above. However I do like lots of punk bands from the late 70's and mid eighties - after that it got really crap.

# People don't know they're born these days.
When I were a lad, music were much better. Not to mention TV, films, buses, clothes, cereal, radishes, and pens.

All crap these days.

# I was reminded the other day that when we were at school
we had a classroom ink bottle of Quink ink that we shared. Instead of cartridges we filled our fountain pens during the lesson.

i.e. we all had ink all over our fingers all of the time.

The idea of microphone hair is oddly hilarious to me

# well, whale blubber is cold at least
my hair is giving me serious jip. when i wash it, it goes *poof!* (but in a visual way, you understand) and i resemble a microphone when i stand straight.

# that would just be silly
i have a double crown, so a mullet is near impossible without some silly tufts here and there
