I can live with that as a definition of poop. Who's touted Icehouse as the next THE COLOURFIELD?

...oh I've seen some appreciation threads...

Don't get me wrong, I love my China Crisis, and my Colourfield et al;...but let's face it, it's all kind of fruity --- I still like this type of music and listen to it regularly, but the fact is, I won't drive through S. Central L.A. with Vitamim Z " Burning Flame" blasting on the Alpine®....

Well, they were Scottish so I was under the belief that they just sucked sheep genitalia but it's good to see them branching out.
And...for the record, they weren't power pop or New Wave sheep either.

The sheep stereotype is a new one on me. They were also from Edinburgh, which has about as many sheep as inner city London. Maybe they were abusing sheep in a slaughter house...

Well....there was the old joke about why Scottish men wear kilts (the answer being that sheep can hear zippers a mile away). I cannot attest to its basis in fact.

That's pretty funny actually. What do the Welsh and New Zealanders do to combat this problem though? [:D]

Bizarrely, I've actually seen more men in kilts since I moved to the U.S. than I ever did in Scotland, where they are pretty much only ever worn at weddings. Most awkward moment was when I attended a "Scottish Festival” here for shits n' giggles.

I got talking to a gentleman who was excitedly boasting of the exploits of his ancestors from East Kilbride, while showing the family clans tartan (plaid) colours. I explained that East Kilbride is in the lowlands, only Highlanders had family tartans or clans and his tartan was probably manufactured sometime in the last century to cash in on the needs of people like him. Wasn’t too pleased he was.

LOL. I can actually picture his jaw drop when you explained the flaw in his theory!

Where is your sense of adventure? We can video it and upload it to YouTube, if you survive think of the notoriety you will enjoy!
