It was very probably 'Bull In The Heather'.. I think I'd heard that before I got 'Experimental Jet Set..' out of the local library. On tape.

I remember sitting on a wooden chair in the garden that summer listening to that tape a lot.. and reading library books.. and pretending it was possible for me to tan.

it was pretty often on mtv here (back then there was just one mtv europe for the entire continent)... just like sugar kane. after bull in the heather and superstar i've rarely ever seen any of their newer videos on mtv. just sunday one or two times.

I can't really remember because I think I had heard Drunken Butterfly and Bull in the Heather before, but didn't pay much attention.

The first one I really got into was Teenage Riot. The first one that made me obsessed was I'm Insane.

Teenage Riot at the Kuyahoga Music fetival in Cleveland. I'm somewhat of a new fan. Actually, I didn't really enjoy them that much (looking back, I blame being too far back to fully enjoy the experience). But the second time I saw them in Columbus I was front row. Holy hell. I become an instant fan.

The first song I heard from them was tunic. I don't know why that got me hooked, because it's not a great song, but it had a strange feel to it and it intruiged me. Then I got " Goo " and it was very nice.

Okay, I'd like to know about your mom and Bad Moon Rising now please.

yeah, my friend wanted to know who sonic youth was, let him listen he was pretty much repulsed, Sonic youth definatly grows on you. Although I never thought any song was that bad.
