Hi Paul, Not someone i've come across. Local paper article below. Doesn't sound like he recorded. I know someone who may well have known him as he orbited the same circuit..i'll see if I can squeeze him for the story! http://www.southmanchesterreporter.co.uk/news/s/508875_music_world_mourns_loss_of_inspirational_songwriter Paul Pietromonaco wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Just got my copy of Elbow's latest "The Seldom Seen Kid".

Yes i'm sure its just a bit of lazy press, or a bit of unnecessary hype. It Would be nice to have lots of Copyists target the not-so Sun Stung Manchester though! The description of Wire on the Site is also a bit 2004! "...Influencing bands from The Cure and REM to The Futureheads and Fischerspooner" I think its fair to say the latter two have not quite had the glittering career of REM or The Cure. Or even Elastica for that mattter. At least they didn't mention Menswear. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 01 Apr 2008 03:21:16 +0100 From: Tim Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Idealcopy Pinkflag Merger? giluz wrote: > > > Well, it has always been like this, and I've been a member since 1999.
