 * ML: The first time I heard Half Man half Biscuit I was captivated – the early 1980s music that I loved so much was still going strong into 1986 with the Soup Dragons, the Shop Assistants, The Stars of Heaven and that was just the Ss on this show! Half Man Half Biscuit were completely new and different again and exploded into our psyche in late 1985 – supreme in all the world! Always though they were the quintessentially (less challenging than The Fall) Peel band. And a bit like the Fall their musical genius was overshadowed by the word play. Like a comfortable pair of slippers – always different but always the same! And I still haven’t met anyone who puts peaches on their cornflakes either.
