Criminally, this got zero airplay, so the first time I heard it was on the 10th Feb ‘91 when it finally entered the top 40 at number 39. It would get no higher.

As its Christmas, I think it's time we all took a look at one of the best "worst" low budget promo videos of all time. Features, among other delights, Dennis Waterman being inappropriately suave with a deeply confused looking poodle.

Eight years ago on this night, we were at Shepherd's Bush Empire watching Saint Etienne. Home Counties is a fabulous album - it was their finest in a long while - but the live show was...hit and miss. Still, MATT BERRY.
