    Ah yes, yet another musically-deprived Squawkeye...how sad! (NOT!)
Well, based on your above choices, I'll try to list some groups/albums that
you might be interested in:
  
    Recent and upcoming releases:
       Pixies -- Tromp Le Monde (already out)
       The Cult -- Ceremony (already ouy)
       Red Hot Chili Peppers -- Blood Sugar Sex Magik (already out)
       Big Country -- ?? (already out)
       U2 -- Achtung, Baby (November 19)
            (The new single "The Fly" was just released this past Wednesday.)
       Happy Mondays -- Big Baby Head (sometime early '92)
       Charlatans UK -- ?? (Sometime early '92)

    Also, try out some already released stuff by Lush, The Cure, R.E.M.,
Dee-Lite, Talking Heads, Camper Van Beethoven, Love and Rockets, Peter Murphy,
Bauhaus, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, etc. etc. (I could go on forever)  Also,
check out past stuff from the aforementioned groups.

    I know I'm leaving out a lot of other great groups; this is just stuff off  
the top of my head at the moment (also, feel free to fill in any of the ?? if   
you can).  So, if anyone else can help this poor pitiful chap, go right ahead.
(MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!  GO CYCLONES!!!  We've got all the good concerts now!...Heh, I 
just couldn't resist) :)

    Oh BTW, check out the new .sig, folks.  Cool, eh?
