When i found out that Shop Radio Cast had done a reissue of YOU'D PREFER AN ASTRONAUT by HUM, i just needed to get myself a copy. If only for the absolutely brilliant track "Stars", which i had been looking for on vinyl for ages. But also the rest of the album is definitely worth the purchase. Some great post-hardcore tunes, leaning a bit towards grunge and indie rock à la early Smashing Pumpkins. Hum was never big over here in Europe but i don't think they were very big in the States either actually. "Stars" was a modest radio hit over there, but that's as far as it goes. The reissue was done in 3 colours (green, clear and white) and on black vinyl. As you can see on the picture, i have a copy of the white one.
