Those Were The Days - Fifteen Years Ago Today I Wasn't Listening to ....






Fucking hell!! .... Aside from the Supergrass and the Semisonic LPs, what a stupendous crockfest this insane mess truly is!

To highlight the fact, it's got, not one, not two, but three (wtffff!) vile collections from manufactured muzak mongers - and paddywhackery purveyors - the Whores ... sorry Corrs thrown in to compound the toxicity! .... Not Forgiven and (sadly) Not F*cking Forgotten!!

This is surely the playlist with which 'The Great Satan' USA uses to ... erm, "serenade" Muslims in the Guantanamo Bay holiday camp /torture factory!
