1996: In the Meantime vs. Tattva

"I Want To Live" and "At Least I Got Laid" were ok.. kinda forgettable overall

How are you even in a position to have an opinion on that.

Ginger baker, bagel, trout farm!

xp "forgettable" meaning like, everyone else forgot them except me

still love this

Hey that Spacehog song starts with a Penguin Cafe Orchestra sample

^ probably common knowledge but I had never heard that spacehog song before

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/sorry-about-the-swastika-says-kula-shaker-singer-mills-1268161.html

just to remind people that a vote for kula shaker is a vote for nazism

I knew about the singer's "oooh i love a good swastika" scandal, but I didn't know about this.

Five years ago, Mills was unknown. He and Marcus Mac-laine, who was the partner of Mills's actress mother Hayley for 12 years, had formed a band called The Objects of Desire. According to Maclaine, they gave it the motto "England will rise again". The group did the usual round of clubs and backstreet venues making a limited impact on the music scene.

But in 1993 the band was lined up to play a far bigger gig at Wembley: a conference entitled "Global Deception" at which speakers included a notorious anti-semitic propagandist Eustace Mullins and a leading US militia writer, William Cooper.

Cooper, who stepped in as compere at the conference after the right-wing, militia-supporting DJ Anthony J Hilder failed to appear, has reprinted the anti-semitic forgery, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which was used by the Nazis to justify the Holocaust. Mills later went on to thank Cooper on Kula Shaker's hit album K, which reached number one in the album charts in September last year.

just a bit of harmless nazism

o_0 <(Holy shit!)

balance:

Mills responded to the allegations by fax and his responses were incorporated in the article. Mills admitted having played at "Global Deception", but claimed not to have fully understood the nature of the event. He indicated that he now felt that the swastika, which has origins outside Nazism and different meanings in different parts of the world, was hopelessly connected to Nazism in the West. He indicated that it was the outrage that his comments had sparked that had led him to this conclusion. He also offered an unequivocal condemnation of far-right-wing ideology.

"I think there is no better example of my naivete and insensitivity than the swastika comments . . . my comments derive from my long interest in Indian culture, from which the swastika has its origins . . . I apologise to those who have been offended by my comment and humbly ask that they accept that I am completely against the Nazis, their crimes and any other latter-day form of totalitarianism. For the record I have never been an anti-semite especially as my dear grandmother was Jewish . . . I loathe totalitarianism, far right thinking, oppression of all forms, denial of human rights and all things that would limit the free spirit of humankind. I stand for peace, love, generosity and learning."[15]

Now, there is one word that smells off in this..

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

That Spacehog song was actually amazing!

How is the vocal in any way Bowiesque?!

i care not, i still think that 'in the meantime' is fucking brilliant.

as indeed are several other tracks on the bands debut album.

subsequently, i have just one-clicked the bands follow up album for pocket money.

better than gay dad though ?

hmm, not so sure on that one.
