Britpop : Time For Reevaluation?

Yeah I mean for all I know they blast out the occasional decent tune at edl marches but

they were supporting 808 State and MC Tunes!

N-Trance are supporting Natalie Imburglia on her UK tour next month!

stopping in the dance tents would be the only viable option here obv but there's a more viable option

y'know, i thought long and hard before i posted. "not another Britpop thread," i thought. "Just K pushing the same old buttons, no need for the umpteenth pile-on," i thought. "Let people enjoy what they like," I thought. "I'm sure this doesn't represent the sum total of what Britpop gave to the culture," i thought. "it's just tedious whining about these also-rans who are totally different to all the great things that Britpop brought into the world," i thought.

then i had a couple of rums and a morning bopping around in the shower to Iron Maiden and fuck it, here i am.

ITT: ILM whines about EDL marches. Again

these are EDL also-rans tho

the Brandon Block story alone made it a pretty great thread revive tbh

i used to have this thing about Gaz Coombes
i used to play him every blue moons
god bless blue moons
god bless Gaz Coombes

The South; supposedly ex members of The Beautiful South but.. anyone?

Alison Wheeler (Vocals), Gaz Birtles (Vocals), Phil Barton (Guitars), Steve Nutter (Bass), Dave Anderson (Drums), Karl Brown (Percussion), Gareth John (Trumpet), Su Robinson (Sax) and Andy Price (Keys).

When The Beautiful South split in 2007, some members of the band didn’t feel ready to hang up their microphones or instruments just yet…
The South feature former members of The Beautiful South including singer Alison Wheeler and lifelong sax player Gaz Birtles.
Since original singer Dave Hemingway left the group earlier this year, Gaz has now moved across to vocal duties. They play the songs made famous by The Beautiful South and bring back the full flavour and excitement with the nine piece live band.

Come on! Let’s Carry On… Regardless!

i know that Gaz too, he's a good bloke

I skipped Turrican B's Groove, it's a bit of a dud.

scratch that, i think he just looks like a lad i know

I just had a delayed lol about this, after my third lager.

lager lager shouting shouting on the third stage Sunday.

Off the back of the Guardian article I am staring at another one of these festivals. I must be maturing, calming down, because it fills me with questions rather than horror. Would I enjoy the Primitives and Darling Buds less when they're sandwiched between Back to the Planet and Bentley Rhythm Ace? In fact, wouldn't it have been better to get Senser and Back to the Planet on the same day? Would a Cud fan be offended that they're further down the listing than Kingmaker (for a day)? Is it contractual that eg Chris Helme isn't Chris Helme (The Seahorses) but Miles Hunt is Miles Hunt (of the Wonder Stuff)? Why are The Beat there? idk, I have no answers.

MILF EMF POOL PARTY

In fact, wouldn't it have been better to get Senser and Back to the Planet on the same day?

this is most likely because someone or everyone in Senser works Monday to Friday, c'mon

(xp) Unbelievable *gets coat*

read the article, then one of the comments made me listen to the campag velocet 'comeback' album.
result.

Lads, Gak and Union Jacks: The Oral History of 'Cool Britannia'
"The thing is, so much of it was about bullshit."

Eurgh.

I laughed a bit @:

Luke Haines: At the time I thought most of it was garbage. Now I think some of it was quite groovy. Menswe@r were good and they made a disastrous second album – a country album – that was only released in Japan. I rate them highly for this.

Otherwise, we’ve seen it all.
