Alex 35667 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I remember you mentioning that ages ago now I think about it, SpongeBob. Knowing her I mean. St. Etienne’s cover of Only Love Can Break Your Heart was quality (as was Weatherall’s remix of it) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46201 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 His list of the best albums of 2023 is basically a long list of stuff next to no one will have listened to. I think I'd heard of about 5 of the artists listed. I'm gonna work my way through the list and see, but I smell a musical cork-sniffer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was about 12 when I bought it and cream can get to fuck as well, so it's not that shite. As others have said, putting Screamadelica is just courting controversy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The night they both played Bournemouth we fielded late calls from the females in our loose peer group to go over and see what was going on in town (10 mins by bus) in order to sit around in someone’s flat “smoking bong” as am told the young people call it nowadays Edited January 24 by PaddockLad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw Oasis and only saw Blur when they were first support on the JMC Rollercoaster tour at the Brixton Academy. Who would thunk the first band for Jesus and Mary Chain, Dinosaur Jr and My Bloody Valentine, turned out to be as successful as they were? Mind you in 92, they'd only released Leisure and were considered shoegaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I was a Rick like character (hard to believe, I know) doing ENTS at Liverpool University so saw dozens of bands, at least 3 a week. I do remember going to the post gig party for Blur and chatting briefly to Albarn who I thought was one handsome devil. Don't remember their music at all from then though. I can get away with some of Albarn's stuff today and actually really like the Good, the Bad, and the Queen. Merryland was a great album, captured Brexit Britain perfectly. They toured some tiny gigs around here but alas I couldn't get a ticket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an interesting collaboration. Think Albarn is probably credited more than Simonson for the actual music writing though, lyrics in particular. WOuld have like to have seen them in the local club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
