what's your perversion?

The Chesterf!elds - Lunchtime For The Wild Youth.mp3
(i think by this point, 1988, the exclamation point in their name was removed, but i'm leaving it due to personal preference)
because nobody knows what rebellion means anymore

please let me know if you love this song. i can't be the only one.

Brix Smith / The Adult Net

The Adult Net - Spin This Web.mp3

I'm quite certain this is taken from the Spin This Web (working album title before she started working on the album all over again with a different producer in '88 for the Honey Tangle album) sessions at Abbey Road from '86 to '87.

None of the Spin This Web sessions have been released except this lone track of the same name that appeared on a Sounds magazine EP from '87. I prefer this version to the one that appeared later on The Honey Tangle.
