Wasn't chappy chap out of Franz Ferdinand in the Yummy Fur? Or did I entirely imagine that?

There was a great golden age of Scottish pop - Arab Strap, Mogwai, Delgadoes, Yummy Fur, Urusei Yatsura, early Belle and Sebastian, the Pastels... Fuck me, do you remember Prolapse? No one ever remembers them, they were fucking ace. I remember Mick (who's a professional archaeologist, apparently) getting us drinks when we were lowly 14 year olds. They gave to me and signed a 7" for me with a load of strangeness. Excellent band, lovely (albeit incomprehensible) people.

Prolapse maaaannnnnnnnn!!!I had the 'Tricolore' lp and a few singles.Yes,they were a good band and you have perfectly described that moment in time when Scotland could do no wrong in my eyes.A couple of the Franz guys were indeed in Yummy Fur.

I remember Prolapse supporting SY at Kentish Town Forum on the Washing Machine tour.

OTHER PERFORMERS
Prolapse
Ascension

The only thing I remember is them being totally chaotic, and, yes, totally incomprehensible.

This wasn't really worth my posting was it?

[HairwayToSteven]

I only get what I can afford for now. So far I only have all the main albums, a couple SYR's and some solo albums. I'm hoping to expand my collection alittle at the SY show next Monday.

wow, Ascension that's a blast from the past. Me and Chris Corsano had a conversation about this duo last year... they were killer guitar/drums improv ala Rudolph Grey. Stefan Jaworzyn whatever happened to that guy (isn't he a writer/critic for Wire? er something like that).

anyways, completist sorta maybe but no... i do not have a few things i nearly have everything some of the more hard to find and less interesting stuff i have on cdr, usually compilations and soundtracks i do not buy because the rest of the bands on them are usually shit.

[Sheriff Rhys Chatham]

I own what I can afford.
I have the major releases and some other stuff.

[nomadicfollower]

I try to buy everything, but I really just buy what I can afford.
I have all the studio albums.
I downloaded the SYR's, but I'm saving up to get them.

[gmku]

Like others have said, I would be a completist if I could afford it.

[greenbird]

I have 39 items. Its not much, but in 3 months, I think its pretty good.

[krastian]

Pretty much....except for some of the sweet ultra rare vinyl that you guys have.

[Moshe]

if i'm counting o'rourke stuff too i have more then 300 items...

[m^a(t)h]

i would like to get hold of rare stuff I would enjoy, If I had money I would pay top dollar for the Flower EP or Kill Yr. Idols EP


i pretty much have nothing though just Confusion is Sex, a bunch of bootleg cdrs, and Gila Monster Jamboree VHS. Nothing else is really worth it but I do plan on getting the SY EP reissue.

Oh, and I also had Goo but burned it with a cigarette and threw it in a river....

300 items? Holy fuck!

What criteria are we using when defining "completist"? Does one count every piece of vinyl, cd's, video's, dvd's, t-shirts, books, posters, buttons, etc? And what about solo works, side bands (like Free Kitten, Dim Stars and Harry Crews), and other people's cd's they've played on (Epic Soundtracks, Christina Rosenvinge, etc)?

[dark heat]

I've got all their studio full lengths and SYR1. I'd like to get the rest of the SYR's, at least.
