― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 19:48 (twenty years ago)

Instead I'd like to rant about all the people acting as if the new Villalobos EP is a return to form when he's been pretty consistent for the last two years.

I really have no idea who the Arctic Monkeys are. They sounds like a "cutty" band.

I DID finally hear Franz Ferdinand though and I liked them.

― ShawShank Rambo Connection (Carey), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 20:05 (twenty years ago)

The Arctic Monkeys look like they're 16 years old.

I wish I liked the Futureheads more than I do. "Hounds of Love" is probably their best song. :(

What about MAXIMO PARK?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 20:10 (twenty years ago)

I liked The Futureheads for a while but now I don't listen to them. Their dad sent me the single of "New Day" after I wrote something nice on ILX, though.

― phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 20:10 (twenty years ago)

i heard an early futureheads single that was mad abstract. i never would have guessed it was them if i hadn't looked at the tracklist of the comp.

i might like "hounds of love" more if it didn't remind me of a mid-'90s college glee club.

I guess two of them are brothers? Their dad wrote to me after something I posted.

I do miss popping out at lunchtime to buy an anticipated new record though. Last time I did this was for Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.

Even better - PLACING AN ORDER at your record store to make sure you get a copy of a new album the day it comes out. I miss the old days!

― phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 20:21 (twenty years ago)

"remind me of a mid-'90s college glee club." that or Rockapella
That said, I like the Futureheads.

You guys sent me down the Britpop path, by the way, when I asked a couple of months ago on the ILM Morons thread whether there were any good Britpop songs ever. "Ladykiller" by Lush is pretty decent, but the clip of "Single Girl" on iTunes just sounds like average power pop, duders.

right.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:03 (twenty years ago)

I didn't really have a britpop phase! I mean I hung out with people in the Suede fan club and drank at the Good Mixer but I always played Screamin Jay Hawkins on the jukebox.

Weirdly, I've been listening to Suede this week and I was never a fan.

― phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:09 (twenty years ago)

my two favorite albums from the britpop years were i should coco by supergrass and on by echobelly, but i'm a big ponce.

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:19 (twenty years ago)

Supergrass were alright but Echobelly were...not good. But then I don't like The Smiths.

― phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:20 (twenty years ago)

I'd like to know, if hstencil HAD to choose the best britop band, who he would choose. Just because I'm perverse.

― phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:21 (twenty years ago)

What are the best Suede songs, Adam? I will listen to clips.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:24 (twenty years ago)

is it the vox on echobelly that get you, adam?

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:25 (twenty years ago)

Tim - I'm not the best one to ask. I like "Stay Together" which was just a single I think, and maybe "We Are The Pigs" and "Daddy's Speeding" off of Dog Man Star. I think you'd like "We Are The Pigs". You'd probably prefer their first album. Are they still called "The London Suede" here?

Gareth should be answering this! I think he's actually, like, heard their other records.

― phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:27 (twenty years ago)

gear - no, I just rmemeber thinking they were bland. sorry if i got it wrong.

― phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:28 (twenty years ago)

I honestly have no idea why I am suddenly talking about suede on the noise board. I blame jaymc.

― phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:29 (twenty years ago)

I liked that Echobelly album, too, but I didn't really listen to it that much. The lead singer was cute. And I should've owned that Supergrass album, but I didn't, because, well, I was sixteen and didn't really buy a whole lot of albums. But I liked what I heard. "Alright" was fun.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:30 (twenty years ago)

I'd like to know, if hstencil HAD to choose the best britop band, who he would choose. Just because I'm perverse.

they probably count, tho in my mind they predate the whole thing: the stone roses.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:31 (twenty years ago)

Okay. That sort of makes sense.

― phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:32 (twenty years ago)

I couldn't name you a single Echobelly song.

― phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:32 (twenty years ago)

I wish all Stone Roses songs were as good as "I Wanna Be Adored."

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:32 (twenty years ago)

Adam, they were forgettable, really. And they had stupid song titles like "Father Ruler King Computer."

I also had a couple of CD singles by SLEEPER.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:33 (twenty years ago)

Gygax thinks it's funny that Robert Downey jr wears a Stone Roses t-shirt on the cover of the Short Cuts DVD. I think he siad to me "can you imagine how high he must have been?". High enough to like The Stone Roses?

xp - ah now, Sleeper, I could tell you some stories.

― phantasy bear (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 23:34 (twenty years ago)

Basically I didn't like britpop because I was busy listening to Sebadoh Rocking The Forest.

Were Gallon Drunk "britpop"?

-- phantasy bear (adamrl@

It's a few years ago now, but as I remember, GD were part of a scene called "camden lurch". It preceded britpop by quite a few years. It consisted of bands whose sole creative touchstone was "Junkyard" by the Birthday party. A fine album, but one that I think pretty much used up any meaningful creative gestures available to that particular sound. I went to Belgium as FOH enginner for GD's labelmates, the sunflowers. They were playing a 5-band gig - GD, The sunflowers, earwig, and 2 local bands. GD were unbelievably bad live. The drummer was outstanding but the rest of the band just sounded like a bunch of flailing tits. When I saw atdi years later, the effect was similar - a bunch of flailing shit that all sounded the same, the difference being that I was getting paid to see GD. They were all really nice people though, courteous, likeable & professional. I feel bad about slagging them, but they were awful.

The only other "camden lurch" band I can think of was a band called "dog hutch" or perhaps "dog hunch" I forget. I remember reading a review of them in melody maker and thinking "why the fuck are you trying to get me interested in a band called 'dog hunch' here".

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:56 (twenty years ago)

I do actually like the guitar sound on "Dog Man Star". Awesome "tone", maan! Their other stuff is a bit shrill.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:58 (twenty years ago)

was "the lving dead" on the stay together ep? amazing how the b-side collection is better than any of their albums.

i pulled out sleeper's smart and enjoyed it..but understood it to be entirely pants...some of those lyrics ...ulllgh ... and she writes novels now?

one of my big dissapointments when living in london was watching Miki Lush stand at a dangerous angle and chat up a child in the Underworld...when teenage dreams burn down...haggard, awful woman.

Starting on sunday i will play the chemical bros remix of "swastica eyes" every evening at 1105. but thats not britpop is it?

― bb (bbrz), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:58 (twenty years ago)

its dangerously close

when did you live in london? and where?

did earwig become insides? or did insides become earwig?

thats a shame, about miki berenyi

As I remember earwig became insides, then became earwig again.

camden, on camden rd (3 blcks up from the railway bridge)...sept 1999 - june 2000

a avantage point that allowed me to witness the shriviling britpop world too closely. i liked the good mixer cause it was quiet and bright and i could read there. of course reading in the pub always attracted attention. but the scene seen was...less than "Popscene" promised, to say the least...and passing shane mcgowan in the oxford arms' window every sunday was a bit depressing as well. miki was the worst of it...given my teenage lust in 1992/3

― bb (bbrz), Thursday, 26 January 2006 16:17 (twenty years ago)

another mile or so up that road and you come to where i live now, in holloway

i quite like the good mixer. its fake-rockabilly rather than britpop now. perhaps, in a way, it always was

― terry lennox. (gareth), Thursday, 26 January 2006 17:35 (twenty years ago)

yeah i used to go to the cinem up on holloway rd i think...orr the highstreet...i can see it, but can't think of the names anymore.

the mixer wsa mostly nothing of anything when i was there. crazy american woman who barked at me one night, random italian girls. graham coxon would come in (most of my good Good Mixer stories come from wierd run-ins with Graham), some of the guys from food (though they had moved office by then, i think) some others..it was quiet mostly...i haven't been back since. i heard they closed george and nicky's. i used to like taking late breakfasts in the garden there. i do wonder what camden's like these days, but i'd have to see it to understand. i wonder whatever happened to the very very cute girl that worked at the chain-cafe down the block from the wagamama's that would make me coffee and unintentionally tug at my heart. i wonder if the wierd hobo that would lunge at me around the tube stop while making smoking signals and terrifying grunts is dead yet (he was always covered in bruises)...la la la

these are lyrics "worth waiting for" and "memorizing"?

Last night these two bouncers
And one of 'em's all right
The other one's a scary 'un
His way or no way, totalitarian
He's got no time for you
Looking or breathing
How he don't want you to
So step out the queue
He makes examples of you
And there's naught you can say
Behind they go through to the bit where you pay
And you realize then that it's finally the time
To walk back past 10,000 eyes in the line

"Handsworth Revolution" by Steel Pulse is FUCKING GREAT.

The wack bbc radio 1 indie music show I listen to on the way home from work has the AMs album on heavy rotation, and the DJ (Zane Lowe) keeps BIGGING. THEM. UP. in his weird stentorian manner.

They're an OK band, I mean they play well together, and they almost rock in places, and the singer's lyrics do tell a story quite effectively, but I just don't "get it". They've sold a shitload of records, enough that it's obviously not just about the hype, but at the same time something like this surely can't be just about the music either?

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 3 February 2006 15:40 (twenty years ago)

i saw some videos on domino's site and those seemed to hit me a bit better. maybe that single is just weak.

― msp (mspa), Friday, 3 February 2006 15:54 (twenty years ago)

I can't believe this is on the noise board.. I am going to go find a song to listen to by these guys, but I don't think I'll like it.

I mean, they're called the Arctic Monkeys! how good can they be? not very!

why would anyone name a band artic monkeys though?

― dar1a g (daria g), Friday, 3 February 2006 16:31 (twenty years ago)

All the good band names have already been taken, perhaps? That's the only justification I can think of.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 3 February 2006 16:38 (twenty years ago)

yeah... seems reasonable. ilm is hard to deal with. i used to like it but then realized that for me at least, all the joy of music was being booted out by arguing and filing and so on. plus, i really just can't be bothered with 75% of what's being pushed on the record buying public from both major and indie labels. how can you really have an opinion about the BEST record of the year if you haven't heard all the supposed contenders.

rock on! just my feeling on the thing. i still like talking about music and probably do my share of arguing and filing...
