A britpop boxset...with no blur or oasis ? (1 Viewer)

[Lili Marlene]

Ah, fuck it.

no, say it. Thumped has only had about two decent britpop threads before this one

 

[Cryptid]

Ah, fuck it.

Know that feeling.

Is there something weird about the fonts? Like if you select 1 it's too small and if you select 2 it's too big. Maybe that's just me.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

i remember when i was in menswear it was all lines and champers down the groucho club

 

[Moods For Mallards]

The New Beat Generation. Anyone remember that one?

Urgghhhh... scanning through that tracklisting has brought back so many awful, awful musical memories. How many of those atrocities did I sit through whilst listening to the Evening Session on Radio 1, waiting patiently for a Pavement or Pj Harbey session track. Some of the worst music ever made are on those there cd's.

The Rhino Brit Box has a better tracklisting and a light bulb in the box.

Wouldn't mind reading the Bob Stanley notes on this new one though.

remember the disappointment hearing The Second Coming?

remember the disappointment hearing The Second Coming?

yeah. December 1994 it was. Love Spreads was good but the album was a bummer.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Liar. You were sitting there listening to Cut Your Hair, thinking "When is Damon going to finally kick these slacker yanks into touch?" and hoping Northern Uproar would be on next. Like the rest of us. Admit it.

I had an NME from a couple of years previous (which was forever at that time) that I bought in that record shop in Bray and it had PJ Harvey on the front, "60ft Queenie" or something and I was like, what the hell is this one about. Great days.

Argh! Northern Uproar. They were like Oasis junior weren't they? I mention Radio 1 because Jo whiley and Steve Lamacq were to blame for championing so many chancers. Marion, Menswear, Echobelly... good fucking jesus.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Gawd, I'd forgotten that I hate 99% of the Brit music from that time.

 

[Red_Dog]

Eh guys

Where is Bingo by Catch!!!!!!!!!!?????

 

[evil bandit]

Where are Smaller, The Reel People, The Lightning Seeds, Strangelove amd 18 Wheeler.

If the Stereophonics are on there then where's Symposium, Three Colours Red and The Young Offenders

Was Blake Grape any good??? I don't remember any of his stuff.

 

[sealed human]

I second The Lightning Seeds, The Life Of Riley rocked (or is that popped)?

Plus how about Lush when they tried to dip into Britpop, 'Ladykiller', anyone?

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Lightning seeds?
I can't think of a worse band of cynical bandwagon-jumping whores.

 

[rettucs]

Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine

Sherriff Fatman should be on it. deffo

CinnamonBoy speaketh the truth

If the Stereophonics are on there then where's Symposium, Three Colours Red and The Young Offenders

3 Colours Red were part of Britrock, AKA "ex-members of the Wildhearts + their mates and sometimes Terrorvision"

Symposium were sort of the start of that Bratrock scene, kind of led by Idlewild and featuring alumnis such as the LLama Farmers, Stony Sleep and our very own Chicks.


I very much missed out on most of britpop and it's the years 1997-2000 I remember the most which I would consider the wilderness years after britpop and before the Strokes. It was a lonely time to come of age

 

[Lolo]

And no Saint Etienne. Bah.
