HOOD two left channels down; who needs enemies

.

The last Hayfever- 7inch to be posted - no more have been released, sigh.

and they even managed to get Hood on one of their comps! not a big surprise, though, if you consider Hayfever's impressive discography...

more than ten years later, this fanzine is present in my emotional background. well done, guys.

listen.

buy!

SIMON JOYNER veterans hospital song

it's a major injustice that Hayfever hasn't got, at least, the alternative nobel prize for great merit during the pre-internet era.

(thinking about it:

nowadays, who really cares about posts on music-blogs?

and, on the contrary: how many times - and with how much commitment! - did we, in the old days, listen to 7inches coming with paper-fanzines?

see?

i'm not flirting.)

besides, WHAT A SONG!

a future classic. again.
