duran duran: tel aviv and tiger tiger
and of course, gotta love awb's pick up the pieces. (some trivia, since anyone who knows me knows i always do this: here's how i can connect average white band to duran duran: the drummer for average white band, steve ferrone, drummed for duran duran from 1986-1988.)

Teenage Fanclub - Is This Music?

Sleeping With Ghosts (the album) ownz.
