"Also playing Star Shaped fest are The Bluetones, Space, Dodgy, My Life Story, and an “undressed” version of Salad"

wow...that's pretty damn 90s

Dear god, that sounds like suicide by mediocrity.

They all had a couple of good tunes.
Sleeper's it girl is a really good album.

Is it okay to admit to being a fan of britpop?
Has enough time passed?

I probably wouldn't go as far as saying they released any great albums start to finish but they make a fantastic greatest hits. Point being that this is ok, never hurt Motown.

Louise Wener's book about it all is really, truly excellent and beat the current pop-feminism trend by a couple of years. I'd say that festival would be a good laugh.

We have that book in the house. At least I hope it hasn't been chucked during any spring cleans. Love The It Girl. Wife was a big Sleeper fan back when, even has the 3rd album. Turned out great for our love bonding. #Bone-ding more like. #AMIRITE?

I have to admit i've never heard the third album start to finish (I have the first two on cd but wtf the third one is the only one not on spotify) but the "big" (number 28) single off it has aged very well:

I have a rising urge to buy a Salad greatest hits.
