Yeah, yeah...I realize that the band Supergrass is either "who?" to most people or "so what?!" to the people who know OF them but haven't actually listened to them. Another one of those lame UK groups from the golden era of pretentious, pansy, 90's Brit Pop, right? Well, not quite. It's an unfair assumption that a lot of people make. Not that I think they're all that vital or groundbreaking or important or influential or any of those sorta' things. But they ARE one of the more versatile, fun, and least pretentious bands to come out of Britain during that time...and I just happen to like them a lot. I love the first two records so much. Superior songwriting in that straightforward, Beatles/Stones/Kinks/Bowie/Beach Boys, songs-for-the-sake-of-songs fashion. Oh, who am I kidding, it's just another case of me being partial to everything mid-90's!

So, I see you found "(Ronald)". Good news. Now we just have to fix him.

Right, I heard that they would be playing a few dates over here to promote the 'best of' album. And I realize you weren't literally attacking them, but I also doubt that you can honestly say you didn't intend the slightest bit of facetious sarcasm in calling a Supergrass tour "Eckes Heaven". I just wouldn't believe that! I've heard the grumble in your voice when this band has been brought up in the past.
