Interesting.I quite like Malcolm Middleton's solo stuff, but that's hardly really folk, is it?

I'm all about the traditional stuffRather than singer-songwriters writing original material in a folk style.

That said, there is some great psych folk stuff that I love.But I consider most of that more in the psych genre than folk.

i got all excited for a moment thinking you meant that film from the 70s. I liked that film, it had a beachball as an alien and yet still managed to be quite dark.

Have you read My Magpie Eyes Are Hungry for the Prize - The Creation Records Story?There's loads about the House of Love in that.
It's a very good read (well, up until the bit where they become Oasis' label)
