Gene - Olympian - Sounds like Morrissey backed by Oasis, nice stuff
WooHoo, glad you liked the Emma Pollack. Check out her earlier stuff with The Delgados if you haven't. Though their best albums are The Great Eastern and Hate, the most interesting thing is to hear their BBC Sessions set. They started as a Pixies rip-off band (a good rip-off), but out of nowhere became a very dark orch-pop act (one of the best, no less). On the BBC disc, it literally comes on a single track- huge, jarring 90 degree turn.
