Anderson Wakeman Bruford? Never heard of that incarnation

I thought it was Average White Band. No wonder everyone is confused.

Comparing Aztec Camera to Big Country would have been better.

Big Country and the Bay City Rollers is the only comparison I will accept. All tartan and shit music.

I only associate the name, Bay City Rollers, with San Francisco’s Roller Derby team. I have struck any other usage from my memory.

I’m not sure you realize how psychologically healthy that is.

I ayways confused them with the Bay Area Bombers.

Speaking of, I found this in a shop a while back. I haven’t listened to it yet but I bet I’ll find plenty to like that I don’t yet know:

What are you waiting for? That looks good!

Ok, I just Googled ā€œScottish bands 80sā€, and I have some more beefs:

I’m a big Lloyd Cole fan but, as I’m sure you know, he’s not Scottish.

I have a copy of, Don’t Get Weird On Me Babe. But never thought about where he was from.

Formed in Glasgow in 1982, according to Wikipedia (where Cole was going to college).

Well, the band was formed in Scotland, but he’s from England. He made a couple of records that are best left to the completists, but for the most part you can’t go far wrong with anything he’s done.

If you haven’t sampled The Negatives, do so.

I had no idea The Shamen were Scottish. Probably something to do with this track that’s full of Cockney rhyming slang.

Also, how high do you have to be to come up with that song/video?

I am now wishing that I had kept the index cards to my old mix tapes. I had forgotten about a bunch of this stuff was that was prominently featured on them.
