Bastion Of Itchy Preeves - Cerberus Shoal

Advantages: The day we caught the train
Disadvantages: Very boring in places

...‘Moseley Shoals’ by Ocean Colour Scene was released in 1996 in the height of Brit pop and is probably their best album. Although when I bought this album I was heavily in to them but now I grown up to hate bands such as them.

Advantages: It's limited edition, so one day I may be able to sell it and make some money

Disadvantages: No disadvantages

Beautiful Thing is the last track out of thirteen, which is a wonderful blend of Indie - ballad. Every track is a great tune, with chords and melodies to have you screaming along to the lyrical supremacy. If you are looking for a present to buy some one , you can't go far wrong with this little beauty.... Read review
