We're siting here in Toronto celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary listening to one of the greatest pop songs of all time. Thank you.

I'm fortunate enough to have the Guitarist/Singer Graeme Downes as my University Lecturer for a couple of my music classes, he's a great inspiration!

I'm sure it was about 1983 when I saw this band play in Dunedin.

One of the most criminally underrated bands ever.

I remember seeing these guys play this at my University orientation back in 1992 .The Bats, Chris Knox and The 3Ds played that year as well...all lo-fi gods!!

Perfection.

Little Shane Carter standing up there(top right) dancing around! He must be about 15-16!

I will always love you, Verlaines! nz to a tee!
Listen to Lorraine by Bad Manners . The chorus is uncannily similar to the chorus of this song. Verlaine, Verlaine, Verlaine, Verlaine.
