The time was the late 80's and I was a nervous, angst-ridden, anarchy-loving, non-conforming middle school student. I used to watch 120 Minutes on MTV and I saw a happy pop video with a sad undertone. "Let's Make Some Plans" was the video. The lead singer drinks from a cup in the middle of lip syncing! It was great. Then, I saw "Nature Thing"in 1988. It was so nervous, so tense, so incredibly wonderful! I had to get the album. Once I purchased the tape "Headache Rhetoric" it was all over! My first C.D. was "What Is There To Smile About?" I've got so many memories and emotions tied into this band. When I first made this site, I haven't read any articles and not many reviews either. So, this site is from the heart and is fueled by the music. -Todd E. Jones
