FORTHCOMING SINGLE REVIEW: FALL DOWN by TOAD THE WET SPROCKET
One of the most distinctively named bands is back with an REM-esque single that grooves melodically along like the brighter side of Gin Blossoms' Found Out About...but with typically ace vocal harmonies and jangly guitars.
Taken from the new album, Dulcinea, it won't change the world, but then again why should it? Three and a half enjoyable, well-written minutes.

- Madonna realised what clothes are
- The 80s never existed
- Your parents realise Elvis is dead
- John Major resigned
- School was optional
- Car alarms/doorbells were destroyed so people couldn't make rave music
Joshua, In His Tree
Yeah, and there was peace all over...

REPLY TO GIRL FROM THE OCEAN IN YOUR GARDEN
I am one of the long-haired blokes who you adore so much.
And I want to tell you that I love you too - every bit of you.
I reckon that you're an absolute babe and if I saw you, I'd definitely have to say "SCHWING!!!!"
