britisher guitar pop/rock charity shop detritus of the 90s

Dragons is actually just David, Bic and Laurence we just depping for some gigs.

I think someone told me Bic was doing guitar tech stuff for MBV recently. (webmail also sent).

I've never heard any Levitation, will check them out.

Last thing I saw was "Here are the Roses" (which I liked!) a year ago already, I'm out of date, obv.

I've never heard any Levitation, will check them out.

David F's youtube channel is as good a place as any:

Oh it's actually that David F. Thanks, will check it out when I'm at a computer with sound. Brings us back to Octopus..

It's "in his MID-forties and still unusual" :-P

Ah, Sir Henry. One of the comedy greats.

Oh, and I might just take you up on that offer, MaresNest...

I'vee often tried to watch that film, but I nod out pretty much each time.

One day...

The film? I've never seen the film. I'm talking about the unparalleled audio recording.

Why don't Nanny State Politically Correct Channel 4 screen it earlier instead of wasting our hard-earned screens with How To Dress Naked On Location and telling people how to live their tax-paying lives in FREE BRITAIN????

The film is well weird. DO NOT watch when loaded.

I d/l'd a bunch of audio (Peel sessions, etc) that I'm working through.

At times you get that "Oh, that's an old joke. Hang on, this is probably where eit came from and who invented it in the first place"

"You broke wind in front of her majesty"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was her turn.."

That sort of thing....

best line is obviously "My dear lady...I wouldn't even have liked to have been the first man"

"I'm afraid this is going to be an understandable mistake"

Oh god...so many

Charity shops in the smoke must be a slightly different beast to the ones up north. I've never seen half the stuff Marcello's listed in any up here (Lamb/Jack/Ride/Alpha).

Anyway the elephant in the room is surely this one...

Part of me wishes "Ready To Go" was still blared before kick-off at every Football League fixture in England

Is it a part you can have amputated?

Maybe you should hear the nu-Britpop crap they've replaced it with...

I note the second wave of nu-Britpop is breaking through to the charity shop massive; Razorlight, Bloc Party and the Kaiser Chiefs now all regulars.

Menswear - Nuisance

Having just seen the cover for this album I realize I've been seeing it for years (decades actually) in charity shops and bargain bins without knowing (or caring) what it was.

I wonder what are the best selling CDs in charity shops, as opposed to the most common ones.
