Me too. I remember it distinctly. The radio was in a different place then, but I still sit in my kitchen hoping for something as life changing as hearing that drum intro give way to the guitar rif, and the step-up when the bass kicked in. When the Dylanesque (subterranean homesick blues) came along I was enthralled. And what a chorus! Play it again, play it again, play it again.

Thanks for the ride, it's been great. Countless gigs and cities/countries visited; countless new (and very sincere) friends from all around the world; countless CDs & pieces of merch; countless nights sat in the kitchen laughing my tits off at all the antics on here; and countless years in the future with someone special thanks to you.
I couldn't have had a better four years without y'all.

Sorry Raf, I only wander through here every week or so - was going to be tomorrow, but thanks for the heads-up over on FB. And don't worry Leah, there'll still be a chance. If Roger Daltry and the guys can do it, so can Jon, Barry & Mince. Now there's a challenge!

Cheers guys (sniff).

I have to echo a lot of what Steve has said. I have met so many wonderful people through this band, Steve included and the band included, and will always be grateful. Some of the very best days of my life included traveling around both the US and the UK to see The Fratellis (or not see them as it turned out in the US in 2008).

I'm not giving up, though. In fact I'll be there in May to see Codeine Velvet Club and a number of friends, and will be watching what comes along. And certainly hope tocontinue to see the people I've met and that I love both here and abroad for the rest of my life - volcanoes permitting, of course. The best to everyone, and let's please stay in touch!
Love you all - Mary

Who said internet dating was for peados and weirdos? Beats paying eHarmony or Match.com :)

Liking Mince's new band's sound too. Oh that reminds me, time to put my new Black Mountain CDs onto my phone.

The Fratellis are special, not in a retard 'speshual' way, but they're special to me. And the wife ;)
