Oh God, NME Tries To Start Yet Another New Movement ..... SHROOMADELICA - The music movement that will 'weird up your head',

I know! I've been thinking that since I first heard them, then I learned otherwise the other week and my head hurt.

Graham's production is I think the secret to their success at their best. It's not him making them sound like BP or anything, more like he's got a great ear for teasing out some unexpectedly strong arrangements.

(Have low hopes from bands, then you'll never be disappointed.)

What does it mean when someone says "xpost", though? I mean, obviously they're saying "cross post" but I can't figure out what they mean by that. I would think this might be explained in the FAQ, but no luck, there.

I'm sure the Bees have been making records for as long as i've been a hack too.

They're gonna keep running with this Shroomadelica pish aren't they?

I eagerly anticipate the arrival of the entire Bees album, although come to think of it, they probably have more than one. Thank you Stevie for turning me on to them.

Alright, which one of you sarc barsts wrote in?

the bees have done nothing for me. dunno why?

though that pure reason revolution single is really growing on me as well...!

(x post)

dundas is a village connection to my hometown - hamilton. i would recommend neither for a visit. hamilton is a mean-as-fuck crack-eyes faded steeltown.

jesus, this was one of the most horrific shows i've seen all year... like a bunch of hoxton hairdresser born-again christians rocking through the soundtrack of Hair while pulling painful Radiohead faces. one of the guitarists wore the band's own tee shirt too. Icksville, Tennessee...

ha ha ha! cross that with a pop-prog monkees and you've got it. rocking!

They are? I hadn't noticed (which is quite possible)

me too.

doomie was from Hamilton?

I think this was the worst 'scene' that NME ever tried to create. ESOJ OTM upthread

yeah yeah.

i will defend regular fries no matter what micro-genre they get lumped in with.

they were connected, the records were really well produced, had some amazing remixes by the top names of the day, and made tripped out psych-funk-hip hop-rock records.

if, you had no idea re their NME connection, i would suggest that in 10 years you would be hailing them as classics CS

I heard them at the time and thought they were crap.
Also I dont remember the term 'skunk rock' they got called in that above article.

i genuinely believe that if you heard the fries debut without any prior knowledge you would enjoy ..

but i heard them on the evening session before i read about them. I think i got a 12" of theirs for 50p in Impulse Records in Hamilton when it came out.

There was an attempted NME scene called 'stool' possibly late 90s. Don't think it ever caught on cos it's a shit title.
Despite the crap pun that is true. Think it was singer-songwriter plus band stuff.

was that the taking the piss out of noel rock thing?

yeah, stoolrock was Noely G-based

also Lo-Fis were great, Regular Fries were good, and if the first Campag album stopped after 45 minutes it'd be a lot better

despite the ILM consensus 'sic' tells the truth.

also, the second campag velocet album is a lot better than it should have been ..
