I completely forgot about the whole thing...   

But I'm proud of the big straw chappie for surviving another year.

Seems jc was on the money this time, the goat survived. I nearly covered my laptop screen in coffee when I read on wikipedia what happened to 2023's goat, pulled to bits by hungry jackdaws!

11 years, eh?  Someone should write a song with that title... 

I'm going to say that it's one of my top five NMA albums (as to todays thinking, this could well change tomorrow, NMA favourite lists are always a moveable feast!).  And yet, in keeping with my original concept when I started this thread, I still don't listen to it all that often... but when I do I love it.

It's also interesting that NMA played six tracks from it live at last years Nottingham Rockers gig when tracks from BDAW haven't been played all that often in recent years.  They always sound fantastic live.
