More info:

More of Matt's eclectic mixes of punk, indie, spoken word and art-noise. Though the latter category seem less prevalent than usual. After Anton Maiden's utterly tuneless (supposedly funny) Iron Maiden cover, it's all pretty good. The last track, Michael, is either a sample from or take-off of Oprah's classic interview with everyone's favourite (alleged) kiddy-toucher, Michael Jackson, where he tries to convince us that he's really just a normal guy. Who loves children a lot.

Sweet Talkin' Woman is a cover of the Electric Light Orchestra song and it was probably the very last 'new' song from the Gardner era to come out - the other four ELO covers had already been released. There are 2 other J Church connections on the CD. Adam played drums for The Moons, while Songs For Emma feature the guitar-playing talents of Mike Millett of Broken Rekids fame.
