There used to be a poster on here that was such a fan of that TMOC song his name was LMA ;)

I too thought Sound As Ever was a bit stiff to miss out but really surprised #4 Record couldn't sneak into the Top 200.

I would've thought Powderfinger's Double Allergic might've got a guernsey too.

TISM'swww.tism.wanker.com should've got in on the back of Thunderbirds Are Coming Out and The Parable of Glenn McGrath's Haircut.

IMO The Fauves' Lazy Highways is a better all round album than Future Spa.

I have numerous times used to have it on VHS from when it first aired on SBS. Such a great documentary about the realities of what it's like for a small-ish band with little record company support.

In fact their song 'Don't Get Death Threats Anymore' was about the death threats they would get from their record label Polydor's A&R guy. I remember reading them say the band went out for dinner once with their label's A&R guy when it came time to split the bill an argument broke out between him and Philip (the guitarist) and the A&R guy called him "a hack guitarist in a band going nowhere", that's from their own record label :lol:
