"If I wasn't engaged to marry a girl who's a total xenophobe, I'd probably be moving to London, Oxford or Stratford this July rather than Los Angeles, but well, she IS a total xenophobe. It took me almost two years to convince her to move to the western US (her family is tenth generation Massachusetts and don't you forget it!) "
:D... I find this truely amusing... Aren't all you them- there Aam-eer-eecaaans forigners anyway ?...

Yeah... I try not to entertain the idea that the music there is more comercailly driven, cos the poeple i talk to in chat rooms name little heard of american band one after the other, only for me to find that they're probably the best thing for that genere for years (Smog, and Ten Benson)... but that may have something to do with the fact that chat rooms are alt. music..
Poneyone: have you put your music up on-line? I'd like to hear some...
