That version of 'Taste of Cindy' was what got me into proper 'alternative' music - I'd never heard anything like it, that was my music epiphany.
I've got a few flexis, but the only one I can remember is The Senseless Things, who became semi-famous for a while ('Easy To Smile' was a good single, and used Jamie Hewlett's artwork maybe 12 years before The Gorillaz).
I have a three-track 7" from NME (1987?) that has a very interesting track by Steinsky and Mass Media called 'The Motorcade Sped On' - JFK and Lee HArvey Oswald shooting news reports over a hip-hop beat. The same 7" also has a live version of 'White Kross' by Sonic Youth - loud very growly vocals, not my favourite version.
I've noticed from the infinity thread that our past musical interests have been similar.
