true. I do this around the HW section too, on purpose for ob(li)vious reasons.

Well, their first album was pretty good, despite stealing Mudhoney's "Here
Comes Sickness" guitar riff for "Lemon Curry?" (#62 in the NME singles
reader's poll 1990!).

No, that's her distant sister. I met Susie at the Reeperbahn in Hamburg (I
outbid Scott Heller by a phennig) but Susie rode off in the band's
limousine (cause Nik had a whole deutschmark hidden in his sax), never to
be seen again so I could get her autograph. Susie B. put out an album on
the same label the singer in Nena's neighbor ran with the one legged
drummer in Xhol who rode a bicycle to their basement studio once. Pretty
good kraut-disco-opera type stuff actually.
