You may not get it on the first go, but keep on listening and pay particular attention to the lyrics. I didn't like them at first, but they are, you could say, an aquired love. Someone else wrote; > Who is Gaz Top? Is he the Nobby the Sheep bloke? Gaz Top, for all americans etc is a 'quirky' childrens TV (science programmes mainly) presenter with (at the moment) ridiculous spiky blonde hair. ...and someone else wrote; > Blur, well they've just jumped around from scene to > scene trying to make it look like they'd invented eveey one of them. I > remember clearly Damon Albarn trying to claim he had "Killed Baggy" - Doh! > You daft bastard, you've just been on top of the pops dresssed up as the > Stone Roses! ....oh, come on, I think it's pretty fair to say that Blur invented "Britpop" at least. And, before you get on your high horse, we all make the occasional stupid comment - I bet B&S themselves cringe when they hear themselves on Mark Lamarr saying that they 'Only give out their address to birds' > Some of the bands had good careers after but to my mind only Ride stuck > to a similar formula. Nah, with ride it wasn't really a formula, just a mood. I still love Ride, contrary to the impression previously given, so if anyone wants to criticise them I'll take them on. Still, I'll not forgive Andy Bell for either Hurricane #1 or THAT Sun advert. > Stuart M sulks for three days Just a nice request - can people stop referring to Stuart as 'Stuart M' - As a huge Mogwai fanatic I always think for a second you mean Stuart Mogwai AKA pLasmaTron and am therefore put down to find you don't mean him at all. Thankyou. Jon g wrote > Anyway, I like Seeing Other People. So hands off. I like the slow version > as well. bethey prefers the sinister version. So there. Personally I love everything B&S have ever done, except... 1) I suppose the session 'Seeing other people' is a little out of tune 2) The new 'The State I Am In' is not nearly as good as the original, and therefore just makes me wast to listen to it 3) I think 'Beautiful' takes the whole twee thing a little too far. Just a little. 'Andrew Robertson' wrote... > usubscribe sinister .....and they say there is no justice in the world. Andrew, I hope you enjoy this e-mail! 'usubscribe' indeed! So, that's done with all those old threads, and onto a new one. I just bought a double A-side 7" single with Stereolab on one side and Fuxa on the other. I hadn't heard of Fuxa before, but I LOVE their track. Does anyone know anything about them? Ta!
