And I'll Be Elvis Presely To Your Marilyn Monroe


For me Gordon McIntyre has written some of the best songs about relationships, lust and longing this side of David Gedge. Public Park along with Past Lovers always leave me with a watery eye and a lump in my throat. Public Park was originally on the first Ballboy ep,, Silver Suits For Astronauts released in the final year of the last century. It is also on Club Anthems the compilation that brought together the band's first three eps. If you don't have a copy of this, get yourself sorted out Pronto.

I own nothing by Ballboy. You can pick up your jaw now. Should I start with the collection of first three EPs?

Brian - try to get hold of EVERY DAMN THING they ever released as ALL the stuff is simply wonderful! Also there are two ballboy - ICA's over @ JC's … perhaps you use those as an inspiration ….
