Gear costume: Model (ditto)
They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5
Active compensatory factors: Side one of this album is perfect! Five superb songs that, effortlessly, have me bopping around the room. I can picture my downstairs workspace at 4 Ramelton Road as I listen to this.

While side two isn't as strong, they continue the infectious energy of the five on side one for the most part. I have no idea why they weren't huge. This album isn't even available on Spotify. Weird.
Where do they all belong? Perfectly sums up 1980! That's it for the M's. First up in the N's - Nada Surf.
