Hi Vickie, love-hounds etc

Yeah, I just got this album two days ago after hearing one of the songs
on the radio. (Plus I'm a victim of hype, this band have been getting a
lot of coverage these days here in the UK). I've only listened to it a 
few times but it seems pretty good so far. Influences ? Well the phrase
"Cocteau's/Smiths influences" has been used to death when describing this 
band, though I must admit there's a certain truth in that. Dosen't really
do them justice though. My fav song from "Reading, Writing and Arithmetic"
(The name of this album from those not in the know) is probably "Here's
Where The Story Ends" though this could change. Anyway, this album is
definitely worth checking out (and don't be put off by the hype)

Bye for now.

Declan
