there was a grim patch in between with people like the Frank and Walters on the cover of the NME

awww the frank and walters are charming! the grand parade is a really lovely record and their early songs in which they sung so exuberantly about bus drivers and bicycles were great fun:) but than i guess it is true that shoegazing was terminal prior to the gallaghers it being killed by suede rather than oasis. i think the class thing is real though because look at the backlash against blur in response to their background, the UK should be like we yanks and just pretend there are not any classes, we're all middle class:P. keith mcl +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
