That looks like a Yello video that never was.

one month passes...

Personally I think their comeback album is indeed better than any of their two 90s albums. They have stripped away all of the "indie" elements and gone fully fledged hippie-pop with quite a hint of 70s softrock/pomp pop. Which fits them greatly.

I'm happy to say that KulaShaker never graced my stereo - I thought they were bollocks.

still basically feel that -- from this distance in time, and his value as a naysayer* notwithstanding -- kulkarni said NO to britpop in a very britpop way: the same one-note grab-you-by-the-lapels bellow

*his deep value was always as a yaysayer, to all kinds of things not britpop

best melody maker cheerleader for hip hop, metal and R&B. But I did love his angry polemics to Britpop

Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Wednesday, 17 January 2018 20:24 (six years ago) link

i know you do -- i'm just saying with a bit of distance the angry polemics are less distinguishable from what's being polemicised against than they were at the time

mark s, Wednesday, 17 January 2018 20:27 (six years ago) link

that is quite astute

you should write about music!!!

#TeamHailing (imago), Wednesday, 17 January 2018 20:30 (six years ago) link

perhaps the 90s were a good time in general to grab lapels and bellow, utterly confident in the righteousness of whatever it is you were bellowing. they strike me as a time of plenty, where one didn't have to second-guess oneself because Everything Was Turning Out OK, especially in The West

this is only a vague notion I have, though, and I'm willing to be disabused

#TeamHailing (imago), Wednesday, 17 January 2018 20:48 (six years ago) link

i am slightly astute sometimes but actually it's someone else's insight
