I used to think that Donna was a cracker but a quick google search is showing me that my memory has played tricks on me......

She's a banger :-(

I have that issue of Select!!

that was her 'heroin chic' phase. That is to say, she was a heroin addict at the time.

what about Irish Britpop bands? Were Bawl Britpop?

Anyway, it all passed me by as I was an Aran sweater in those days.

Hmmm, yeah i seem to remember a band called The Young Offenders i think they where from cork or something, man i thought they were great back in the day. I think they where more Britrock though

They had a choon called "Thats why we loose control" and another one called "Pink & Blue"

Ive got one of there choons on a melody maker cd from 1998 great stuff!

Em, I heard a class Pulp song in a film called 'Wonderland' there recently. Some guy was having a bath and listening to it on the radio. Getting well into it so I was...

Remember the White Room on Channel 4? I recall the Pumpkins being on it and they were ridiculously loud...I remember seeing Lush on it too.

Did someone mention Stony Sleep? Crikey!
What about powerpop messers Midget? hahahahahahahahahahahaaaa! fuck me!

I'll be back on this thread tomorrow. My mind is buzzing with nostalgia. The bad kind...

- They subsequently moved to London, got dropped by their label – the singer was practically homeless and wrote a load of songs that he recorded on some dodgy 8-track in the back of an office and then called himself Simple Kid and sold loads o records……. Or well a good few anyway.

Once he told me that he would like to try out being an old dude with a boat and a big beard fishing his days away with a possum for a Bessie mate – or something like that. Which was very random…. But also kinda nice.

 

[Phil_Insane]

Yeah i remember him doing something with fierce panda records under the name "Simple Kid", never really checked any off his music out but i know he is quite popular ect

Salad had a fuckin great tune called 'Drink The Elixir' and i also quite liked Dubstar and Lush, especially their tune 'Hypocrite'. Mansun were great - Wide Open Space and TaxLoss stil get an airing round these parts. Had an unhealthy obsession with Suede and was nearly trampled to death at their gig in the SFX ....what a shameful way to go....


Fell in love with the Cardigans' album 'Life' around then too - it broke my little heart - :heart: especially the brilliant cover of Black Sabbath's "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" ...a tear to the eye I tells ya. Then they went stellar. Bastards.

how could I be wrong and forget The Auteurs?

Great band. plus the rest - Baader Meinhof, Black Box Recorder, Haines solo.

What about Kenickie?

TERRIBLE.

Not so much: Cast, Northern Uproar, Menswear, Gay Dad, Shed Seven

Were the Boo Radleys Britpop? I hated them with a passion. And Dodgy. It would appear my girlfriend was into Britpop when she was a teenager as when we moved in together my CD collection got a hell of a lot shitter. I now seem to own a single by a band called Catch, a Cast album and some Kula Shaker singles.

 

[Theseus Mock]

Were Reef classified as Britpop back in the day? I can't recall but I'd say they were definitely branded shitpop at some stage.
