That's a fine playlist... can't say I know every track on that list but I do like a bit of The Church and although  some folks around here might disagree with me, I also love a bit of Transvision Vamp... Velveteen is an album I love!  Nothing to do with the teenage me having a huge crush on Wendy James, honest...   ;)
... we might still get this Forum back to something like former glories!

I think it's great that NMA are getting some exposure on college radio in the USA. The playlist is downloadable (I think).

I remember having a strong reaction to the 'I Want Your Love' video. Wendy in that pink dress with the little pom-poms is quite memorable. :) Pop Trash is a fun album too.

Yes. a cool playlist there. Gaijin, you wrote "we're doing it live" so are you involved in that stream, production?
ever tried. ever failed. no matter.
try again. fail again. fail better.
