Such passion. The movement has such a fascinating history. So yeah that's a few, but I have a top 100 albums lying about. And i'm working on a 1000. I love making lists.

I only speak small amount of german but would love to learn another language someday, so I could translate the wonderful music...

That was an interesting interview, James, and nice job interviewing, Goblin Tears. The fact that you not only know all these music groups but can actually *spell* "Tropicalia Ou Panis Et Circenses" is what makes you seem so mature, James! I am impressed.

I agree with you about learning German to understand their songs. Our German class in high school translated a lot of pop songs, and that *was* very fun. Say, have you noticed that there haven't been a lot of German hits recently? At least, none that have made it to the States!

So here's a question for you, James. What is it about being Scottish that you like the most and the least? The few times I've been to Scotland, the rustic beauty and the age of buildings (and a dead seal on the beach) made a big impression on me, but it seemed like a very traditional kind of place because you are living surrounded by the relics of the lives of those who came before you. It seemed like it might be a difficult country in which to change anything. Is that true, or was I just seeing your country through tourist eyes?
