I've got a few flexis, but the only one I can remember is The Senseless Things, who became semi-famous for a while ('Easy To Smile' was a good single, and used Jamie Hewlett's artwork maybe 12 years before The Gorillaz).
I have a three-track 7" from NME (1987?) that has a very interesting track by Steinsky and Mass Media called 'The Motorcade Sped On' - JFK and Lee HArvey Oswald shooting news reports over a hip-hop beat. The same 7" also has a live version of 'White Kross' by Sonic Youth - loud very growly vocals, not my favourite version.
I've noticed from the infinity thread that our past musical interests have been similar.

Senseless Things! I knew loads of people who liked that sort of thing but it was never for me. I was listening to Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, Big Black etc at the time so that pop punk stuff all sounded a bit bland to me in comparison. And I also have that 3 track single with Steinski, and a great one from the NME with a great version of Hardcore Hip Hop by Mantronix.
