The Pretenders actually played our Student's Union the week they were at No. 1 with Brass In Pocket - My friend who worked on the student newspaper interviewed her but she was really grumpy because she'd cut her fringe and it was too short (looking at the above I can see that would have been a problem). <br /><br />Like the Pretenders but love Elvis Costello and this song just takes me back to 6th year at school (not plugging my blog or anything, much, but did a post about him and that album - C found it amusing!).Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671033552961486737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834198189370622587.post-62179484335187378082017-01-04T16:12:47.215+00:002017-01-04T16:12:47.215+00:00Actually, the limited output of the original lineu...Actually, the limited output of the original lineup is worth a good listen, if not promptly adding to your collection. It's just Pretenders I and II, with an EP stuck in the middle. The band released some worthwhile songs after the death of guitarist James Honeyman-Scott ('Chain Gang', for instance), but nothing really approaches the earliest stuff.
