I found the reference to his Battlestar appearance in the following podcast: http://media.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/roundtable/roundtable.mp3 I'm not quite sure how to list this reference. Punkgeek 01:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed: Sheppard's professional musical accomplishments

I can't find anything to support Vdodgy's claim, handed down from the original article [[1]], that Sheppard was ever a touring or recording member of the alternative rock band School of Fish. AllMusic.com also does not list Sheppard on the credits for either of the band's studio albums.

I have similar concerns for the claims of recording or touring with Robyn Hitchcock, Television Personalities and Light a Big Fire, as well as the general statement, "...recorded albums for many groups..."

I've added several references to support these claims, including a 1992 article in the Daily News of Los Angeles, as well as several references for his acting career. - Dravecky (talk) 04:05, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Listen, I want Mr. Sheppard to be as cool as he can be. Every time I see Badger or Romo Lampkin I get giggly like a Tauron schoolgirl. And to me almost nothing could be cooler than having been part of the band School of Fish, who had a major alt-radio hit single in 1991 with the song 3 Strange Days.

Unfortunately, I cannot find one single reference, anywhere other than this article, and sources elsewhere quite obviously plagarized from herein, which confirms that Mr. Sheppard had anything to do with the aforementioned band School of Fish. In fact, I have found just the opposite...AllMusic.com also does not list Sheppard on the credits for either of the band's studio albums, and, School of Fish makes no mention of Mr. Sheppard, either.

As for the claim that Mr. Sheppard "...recorded albums for many groups throughout Europe," well, I'll need to see references before I am satisfied.

Finally, about that Daily News of Los Angeles reference: I can't find a digital version anywhere in the free world. I assume you're working from hard copy, or perhaps a subscription archive service? Would it be possible to add a scanned image of the article to WikiMedia?xpanmanx (talk) 06:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
