Classic.

Search: "On My Radio", obviously.

"Celebrate the Bullet" classic ... brilliant on that Orbital "Back to Mine" thing last year.

classic for 'The Selecter' itself. one from my 'who does this?!' file when it was played on a pub jukebox a few years back.

dud. i had the msifortune to do their lighting when they played at my work last year. the rudest bunch of tossers i have ever dealt with. pauline black is an ill-tempered cow. on-stage, jamaican 'ting accent, offstage - somewhere many many miles away from jamaica. sounding like the midlands. grr. makes me angry just thinking about them.

I was just burning "On My Radio" from my old vinyl copy of "This Are Two Tone" to a CD yesterday. Don't know much about the rest of their catalog, but that song is classic.

Thought it was kind if neat to see an interview with Pauline Black in National Geographic of all places!
