If you want to sell anything on, I'm actually sad enough to own more than one copy of things... 3 copies of their first album on vinyl, because one day one of them will break.
Wasn't chappy chap out of Franz Ferdinand in the Yummy Fur? Or did I entirely imagine that?
There was a great golden age of Scottish pop - Arab Strap, Mogwai, Delgadoes, Yummy Fur, Urusei Yatsura, early Belle and Sebastian, the Pastels... Fuck me, do you remember Prolapse? No one ever remembers them, they were fucking ace. I remember Mick (who's a professional archaeologist, apparently) getting us drinks when we were lowly 14 year olds. They gave to me and signed a 7" for me with a load of strangeness. Excellent band, lovely (albeit incomprehensible) people.
