Was "Just Like Honey" a well known alternative rock hipster signifier before Lost in Translation or did it become so after? Danish national "alternative music" station P6 must play it a couple times a week and it seems like such a hollow gesture.

They also have stuff like "Lust for Life" on repeat, which it's a great song but maybe should not be applied every day I dunno.

It depends on which side of the pond you are. UK, well before. USA .. someone?

it was pretty known (number 2 in the Festive Fifty, got to number 45 in the charts etc) but not mega known. the film definitely put it on the radar of your Gen Y types.

i saw the Psychocandy gig at The Roundhouse last week; incredible sound and Miki of Lush fame was on backing vox for ..Honey once again.

Eye-opening pics in this thread. I had no idea these guys had such terrible 80s hair.

I was just going to ask if anyone had seen them on the current tour. I saw one of 2007 reunion shows and was pretty disappointed, but I'd give them another chance if the reports are good.

I will Never Understand, what the appeal of this song is.

It is a good song, but 2nd on the list?

Please enlighten me...

I like it but I find it almost indistinguishable from "My Little Underground" and I'm not sure why one has so much more canonical shine than the other.
