Enola Gay. Couldn't stop playing this when I first heard it. It's 8.15 and that's the time that it's always been. Andy McCluskey is now a very successful chart pop songwriter. They've reformed for a tour, haven't they? I lost any remnant of hope/interest when they called an LP 'Architecture and Morality'.

Richard Thompson (with or without Linda)

Oooh, lots to choose from, but I'll pick "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" from Rumor and Sigh. Great nostalgic song, with some stellar guitar work. He's someone I need to see live.

PJ Harvey

"Ugly Stories" from Under Cold Blue Stars, still my favorite of his albums. A lot darker than the stuff he's done since, but the domestic misery seems to suit him better than this transatlantic thing he has going on now.
