Well I'm always up for list making so here's my top ten in no particular
order at 11:04 pm on a Wednesday night as I take time out from writing about
a band I don't really care about for money.

1) Erase Errata - Dust
2) Naked Spots Dance - New
3) The Gladeyes - Bad Town Blues
4) Flying Lizards - Wind
5) Raincoats - No Ones Little Girl
6) The 25 Cents - The Witch
7) Plastic Ono Band - Don't Worry Kyoko
8) Yeah Yeah Years - Diamond Sea
9) Inflatable Boy Clams - Boystown
10) Lizzy Mercier Descloux - Mission Impossible

#s2,3, + 6 are local New Zealand bands. The Gladeyes being a new band and
the others from the era. Naked Spots Dance did three records but the best is
the EP called 'new'. On this record they sound like a somewhat less
aggressive Erase Errata. The 25 Cents are a real early Flying Nun band. One
of the members (Mary I think) went on to be in a number of bands including
Scorched Earth Policy whose song Accident could also be on this list.
Accident can be found on the Tuatara comp and the 25 cents can be found on
the Where In The World In Wendy Brocolli FN singles comp that was released
last year. Interested people can get both CDs via Smokecds.com.

Ok back to work!
