LOVE THAT SONG
Going back a bit this is also deadly [from 1991]
and there's also two volumes of Happy Daze.
Found out yesterday that Jesus Jones are touring again this year
Jesus Jones
Has there been a quavery posh-voiced ukelele-led version of The Universal yet?

Gene had some stonkin' Smiths-manqué bangers too.
Quite literally in the case of Gay Dad.
This cunt was actually a music journo before he started this abombination of a band and belted the last nail into brit pops coffin. Basically for me it ran it's course the great bands in the "scene" (Pulp, Blur, SFA) moved on or in the case of the average bands (Oasis, OCS, Cast et al) utterly failed to move on and the "industry" tried to keep the whole thing alive a little longer by pushing all manor of piss poor copyists.
Even the Yanks tried to get in on the act
So pretty much exactly like Grunge as soon as Silverchair and Bush existed it was over.
Oh yeah and the NME gave The White Stripes a cover story that was the end of it really.
^^^Look Embrace still existed then. Madness no ?
In a sense Blur started it all with this
and then ended it here
Poetic really.

I remember one angry commentator at the time describing Damon and Justine arriving at some do as if they were Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor
This clip...Damon on keyboards, and Blur played right after this
No wonder they thought they owned the place

Gay Dad - To Earth With Love was a deadly track. So much good stuff in it.
Suggs cashed in. Remember "Camden Town"? I was in dreamland as a Madness fanatic since I was 10 but I realise now it was shit. Terry Hall was around too. I remember Blur covered Nite Klub at the RDS and being very excited
Saw them twice, they were decent.
Not sure but I'm presuming that it was this britpop business that made Lush change their sound. At least they got this gem out of it..

when you've got male models in towels as part of your stage show it's time to re-evaluate your direction as a band
or maybe crack open some champagne and shout "WE'VE ARRIVED, BABY"
i don't really know
get outta that, that song was terrible then and is terrible now.
actually it sounds a bit better now that i listen to it again. Good for them. He still does that annoying shouty bit though.
Their rise and fall happened in the space of about 2 singles, was a bit mad really.

Ah, I love it. It perks me up. It's got a great bridge and I fucking love the vocodered "Put some Kraftwerk on" bit.
And yeah, they were gone in about 5 seconds. I think other music journos basically hated that one of them had dared to start making music himself and was going around with all sorts of intelligent opinions rather than just sucking up to them. At least that's how I remember it.

As an aside, I know at least 4 people with gay Dads.
What about Menswear/Bis?

Menswear were beyond bad, come on.
At least in that Gay Dad tune they have some semblance of interesting musical ideas.
Bis inspired me to start a band in the first place when I was 14 and I used to buy their fanzine and converse by post with the grrrrl who ran it, so I know Bis and they're sound. Actually, my dad ( who isn't gay, I don't think) knows Bis as he brought me to see them at Charlie's as part of a Hope Collective daytime show and he collared them afterwards to get them to sign stuff for me. I think @pete put footage of the show up recently.
