Diane Birch (with The Phenomenal Handclap Band)'s The Velveteen Age and Kate Walsh's Peppermint Radio. Both featuer covers of lots of 80's bands.B I'm particularly taken with Diane Birch's. My only complaint is its only 7 songs--but it includes some good ones-- Siouxsie's Kiss Them For Me, This Mortal Coil's Tarantula (which was someone elses before them), and Sisters of Mercy's This Corrosion. Kate's feaures all British bands, including Eurythmics, Blur, Radiohead and more. Jeff ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V15 #291 ***************************
