What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

The walls of the towers are literally bursting with audio candy so please take some off our hands before Brian disappears forever under a mountain of LONG BLONDES 7"'s and CD's . Oh yes the 'Giddy Stratospheres' single is here from Sheffield's foxiest ladies and it's a bit of a catchy one. This is Brian's favorite Long Blondes track so please do the right thing. How tragic would it be to be killed by a pile of records he loves. Oh the irony. Sure this is radio friendly indie pop but there is an edge to it that makes it stand out from the rest. Perhaps it's the Blondie-isms. I dunno but I'd much rather be listening to this on mainstream radio than the likes of Just Jack (who suck beyond belief). You can buy all 3 formats for a measly £4.00 which is an absolute bargain like. Check the item page for the tracklisting. One 7" has a blue sleeve and the other a pink sleeve. So you can give the pink one to a girl or the blue one to a boy. If you're not into gender stereotyping you can do the opposite. All bases covered....

About the humble CD single:

Another digital format and even though they can hold 80 minutes of information (like a CD album would) record companies only fill up a small portion of the disc. Sometimes only 1 or 2 tracks on there totalling 5 minutes or so. It's like going to a restaurant and getting a plate of food with 2 green beans on and wondering where the rest of your meal is. Sometimes they're lovingly packaged though and when the music is good then you're into a winner. Also you get videos on there sometimes which you can watch on your computer. That is excellent.
