Ever since John asked me to help out with the LNMC I've been dying to introduce my favorite of the new post-alternative bands, Doves. Problem is that they're about a billion times better in the studio than they are live and YouTube only have live performances. I nosed around a bit today and find a "live" TV appearance that is obviously to track. So here they all in all their heavy production-rich magnificence, Manchester's Doves, doin' their awesomest hit,

Pounding:

And tonight's contest? Whoever best put Doves' music in historical musical context wins... and odd couple: the Ozzy Osbourbe cd, PRINCE OF DARKNESS and the brand new Barbra Streisand dvd, COLOR ME BARBRA. Send your picks to downwithtyranny@aol.com
