ok so this is whats coming back, really you kinda need to reinvent the most horrible aspects of the past because your trauma-repression impulse is what makes everything you tried to forget seem really fresh in a couple years

Were the late 90s the only time it was acceptable* for white guys to be a bit on the porky side? All that frat-boy nu-metal stuff had its fair share of bloaters.

*i realise i am using a very liberal definition of the word "acceptable" here.

dog latin, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 12:58 (sixteen years ago)

Possibly first time since the Edwardian era

Never went away.

Other things that could be revived ironically or not:

Early '90s Queen Latifah mutlicolour leggings and fruit hats and zebra stripes in your music video and all that kind of thing?

British magazine telly - Big Breakfast/TFI Friday/Don't Forget Your Toothbrush/The Word/They Think It's All Over/Eurotrash/ITV Chart Show/Motormouth/What's Up Doc etc?

And Big Beat? No not the Chems, I'm talkin 'bout Midfield General and BRA!

Nike Air? Reebok Pumps? Puma Disc System?

WWF, Hulk Hogan, Legion Of Doom, Suburban Commando, Cool Runnings, Desert Strike bubblegum cards, Micro Machines?

Sheffield House/Bleep-Techno?

Mid-90s Britrock - Skunk Anansie, 3 Colours Red, Placebo, Groop Dogdrill, Therapy? ?

Trashy shit from Europe - Rednex, Whigfield, Mark Oh!, Scatman John etc.

BTW these were all on the shelves at Sainsbury's Hitchin (the only place you can buy CDs any more in the whole town) when I went shopping last night. The revival is inevitable:

googling random bearded theory acts.

UK psytrance at it's best - overflowing with energy, adrenaline and positivity, including stomping didgeridoo and searing guitar riffs throughout.

woof, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:11 (sixteen years ago)

holy lol at the bearded festival

ALLAH! *rolls on floor* (HI DERE), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:13 (sixteen years ago)

psytrance is the most '90s style of music that didn't exist in the 90s.

dog latin, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:13 (sixteen years ago)

?!?!?!

mdskltr (blueski), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:16 (sixteen years ago)

stomping didgeridoo

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:21 (sixteen years ago)

sounds messy

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:21 (sixteen years ago)

Most of the first mucky raves/festivals I attended were psytrance affairs. In the 90s

Not a musician, but I thought of Justin Fashanu for some reason (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:21 (sixteen years ago)

Scatman John was not trashy shit from Europe, he was awesome shit from America.

Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Farting in Space (NickB), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:22 (sixteen years ago)

The time to revive Scatman John was many years ago ;_;

I preferred the instrumental mix

I hadn't banked on Alistair Darling's 10% cider tax. The crusties will be protesting in numbers we haven't seen since Swampy.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:34 (sixteen years ago)

Please tell me the cider tax is a joek

Allbran Burg (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:36 (sixteen years ago)

JEEZ YOU BASTARDS WE'RE THROUGH

Allbran Burg (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:37 (sixteen years ago)

there are times i'm glad that my awareness of popular music began somewhere between xtrmntr and kid a

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:42 (sixteen years ago)

Sexual Intercourse first began in 1993
Between the end of Bobby Gillespie's driving ban
And Radiohead's 4th LP

Allbran Burg (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:45 (sixteen years ago)

Did he fight for naught?

woof, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:31 (sixteen years ago)

that's always been in my top 5 horrible lol horrible album arts

Allbran Burg (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:32 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah, that was a confusing insert.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:32 (sixteen years ago)

it is like the hash dream of a wee tiny drugged-up bairn

Allbran Burg (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:33 (sixteen years ago)

his shadow looks so wrong, never noticed before

mdskltr (blueski), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:35 (sixteen years ago)

i'm sad to admit that mid-fold was always a guilty pleasure of mine. total cartoon anarchy and it summed up MFAJG perfectly. Then again I was 14 when it came out so I'm blinkered.

dog latin, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:36 (sixteen years ago)

Isn't he cutting himself off from the power station providing the juice for his mates' big fuck off speakers etc?

Allbran Burg (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:38 (sixteen years ago)

They were all going to get into acoustic ska anyway.

Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Farting in Space (NickB), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:42 (sixteen years ago)

they have their own generator OBVIOUSLY

mdskltr (blueski), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:43 (sixteen years ago)

(xp)

Probably borrowed a generator from a local farm.

woof, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:43 (sixteen years ago)

At the time, it reminded me more of Grateful Dead shows than ravers, but I guess it was less confusing than when I saw a picture of Keith for the first time.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:43 (sixteen years ago)

xp, correction: 'borrowed'

woof, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:45 (sixteen years ago)

fuck haters, that artwork will always be classic. according to richard russell's twitter XL still get requests for it in giant poster form.

mdskltr (blueski), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:45 (sixteen years ago)

Field full of E'd up crusties, huge crevasse, no fence.

Shd end well.

Allbran Burg (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:45 (sixteen years ago)

looks like The Man got to you too

mdskltr (blueski), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:46 (sixteen years ago)

Can't see clearly but the copper on the other side is frantically sawing away at his end of the rope iirc

Allbran Burg (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:48 (sixteen years ago)

Why are the riot police forming a cordon? Wouldn't the canyon do that job rather well?

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:48 (sixteen years ago)

since he's armed they could take him down with a leg shot with no repercussions.

harshbuzz to my chilt-on (zvookster), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:48 (sixteen years ago)

Surely the Man could just fly over the chasm in a helicopter gunship?

Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Farting in Space (NickB), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:48 (sixteen years ago)

Crop sprayer + nerve gas = best option

Allbran Burg (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:49 (sixteen years ago)

I am cool with it as long as they clean up that field after themselves.

woof, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:49 (sixteen years ago)

Field full of guys twitching and drooling uncontrollably oh hang on

Allbran Burg (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:49 (sixteen years ago)

noodle vague's nerve gas fetish began in 1995
between the tokyo sarin attacks
and the third lp by live

nakhchivan, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:51 (sixteen years ago)

i think it has a role to play in removal of unwanted pests

Allbran Burg (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:52 (sixteen years ago)

xp A CoMANche helicopter gunship, you mean?

Neil S, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:52 (sixteen years ago)

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

the big pink suede panda bear hurts (ledge), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 14:52 (sixteen years ago)

I'm a bit confused as to where this thing is supposed to be. Looks like the Isle of Wight with Portsmouth in the distance?
