Yes I am , but only for the past couple of years or so. I was put off for a long time because it seemed every gobby student I ever met was into them.

Not yet , but i'm working on it. As I don't live on mainland UK any gig I go to means air fare & hotel bills & time off work so I don't get to go to many gigs.

haha I sympathise but i'd have been grateful to have met more than the odd person at uni who was into anything even remotely like HMHB...
www.hmhb.co.uk

this site list ALL of the 80's pop-references in each song and it tripled my enjoyment of them once I knew who, say, Fred Titmus was....

the Fall though, they'll be touring until he dies so you still have time! i saw them once in Oxford 3 years ago for the Fall Heads Roll tour, fantastic album, great performance (a pure garage-rock racket). Having said that MES adjusting his dentures and mumbling into the mic is a far cry from the impassioned nihilism of yesteryear...
