Taking Sides: Mansun vs. Kula Shaker

I always sorta think of them as a pop(ish) Mogwai. This is very much a compliment.

Inexplicably revisited both bands recently. Neither have aged especially well.

I actually saw both bands perform live ... and have relatively no memory of either occasion.

Kula Shaker, I'm still ashamed to admit, gave me that post-baggy neo-psychedlic summer fun whizz bang fizz feeling, plus, well, that irrational hormonal "oh my god, I want to dangle myself in your proto-aryan gene pool" thing.
