• The Lost Riots, Hope of the States

  As the band's hip credentials gather darkly in the background - guitarist James Lawrence's myth-making suicide during the recording of the debut album obviously accounts for much - critics continue to fall over themselves to be seen dishing out the superlatives.

• Strange breed ... guitar heroes.

  I have always felt this. To be a guitar hero, (or 'ax-man' if you like, but I can't believe anybody really uses that phrase), is to slowly grow into a certain look.

• "Gimme an F"

  Those who think I am referring to a particularly fractious game of Scrabble, could take a look at the Woodstock movie where they will see the great Berkley psychedelic band Country Joe and the Fish demanding an 'F' and three other letters before launching into the ferocious anti Vietnam war chant, 'Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die'.
