SHINE TOO: NOW THEY'LL SLEEP

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Shine Too, then! Not expecting the popularity of the first focused Shine, featuring not only indieism but GOTHISM in the form of Sheee-sheee-sheee-YEEENE ONNNN, a crack team of Addidas wearing 'yoof' was pulled together to create today's poll fodder in the form of Shine:2. Or, SHINE TOO, because, they were clever, do you see. Gigolo Aunts perhaps the first symptom of the Britpop drivetime tendency? I mean, guys. Like, SRSLY. Although, I think I liked it at the time. Young pups Ash get to mingle with their elders and betters whilst the retro factor is continued with The Div, as no-one ever calls Joy Division, and some old todgers qui s'appelle, Le Happy Mondays. ON WITH THE VOTING!

Can't remember:

- That Gene song
- The Cranberries song THANK GAWD

All the rest are BURNED ON MY BRANE.

Only glorious presence of ELASTIXX0R saves this compl from being AN STINKER.

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

can't tempt you to a kinky afro even?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The Elastica song is their worst, they sound knackered and diffident and they'd only done about 4 singles. Load of rub.

[juliet]

Butbutbut Belly! I *love* that song.

[friedslice.livejournal.com]

I not sure if I slammed The Gigolo Aunts for actually being the worst or bcos I HATED Game On

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Oh my gawd, I was thinking "that's a random choice to put on", I had TOTALLY forgotten about Game On. I LIKED GAME ON. Well, until they got the second actor on. Ooh, if I had bittorrent, I'd probably try and download an episode, that's how good it was.

I couldn't decide whether I liked it or not AKA it is 1x GUILTY PLEASURE. Then I remembered that we don't DO GPs on Poptimists so, there you go, well done Gigolo Aunts.

The rap bit in stay together

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

ahem

It's not that I'm agrophobic it's just that it's not safe To go outside anymoe so I just Stay indoors with my TV Times My petty crimes and my nursery rhymes, Someone said that the sound of a baby crying is the most beautiful sound in the World and beauty i s in the eyeOf the beholder but as my heart Grows colder, and colder I just Feel so tired. The fridge is empty, The walls are damp, there's no hot Water and I look like a tramp and Tramps like us baby we were born To walk but where does a mother's Girl go when her mother's gone? Some you win and some you lose I've spent my whole lifetime Falling on a bruise and if I had The chance to do it all again I'd change everything motorway dog star granite horse nuclear sky trash.

Strangely, that reads much better than I remember it sounding. Apart from the last eight words, that is.

Re: The rap bit in stay together

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

It's also actually pretty Suedelike, you can really imagine Bertt doing it. GO ON, GISSA COVER.

Re: The rap bit in stay together

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

um, that's from a carter song innit? not suede

I AM CONFUSED

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

you are a very. bad. mang.

This compilation...

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

...is pretty much DREADFUL.

But mercifully short.

Re: This compilation...

[tommymack.livejournal.com]

It's not great, is it?

Re: This compilation...

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

Aye, it's toss. I fear this is going to be the case for all of them.

Re: This compilation...

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

only ONE (1) of these songs is even vaguely tolerable! these are the worst bands ever! it is HELL ON A DISC.

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

I ticked well over half of this, OH DEAH. I spent 5 minutes (okay, only 15 seconds) going to and fro on Love Spreads. First ever single I bought, don'cha know.

I am v. glad to see Ash in the medals, though I suspect Pulp might do better if the titlehadn't been 'humourously' defaced.

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

Oh hang on, they are doing better now. Never mind.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Even the Pulp is a sodding B Side.

Ash = AWFUL. This was where they lost it, unless "Oh Yeah" was earlier.

DEAR CATHY AND CLAIRE

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

ever since i won "slotted for ease and wheeze" EP at 1xpoptimisquiz i have decided i hate pulp

AM I MATELESS?

yr pal Dr U.B. Dobdee

Re: DEAR CATHY AND CLAIRE

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I am totally ambivolent towards Pulp. I will not run screaming if it is eg put on kitchen stereo but in a dancefloor situation Pulp = time to go to the bar innit.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I count 11 (good) songs (I like) personally, tho I didn't bother ticking Joy Div. And Lightning Seeds is rub but I really liked it at the time. Broudie had inexplicable ability to cheer me up, probably because his light, breezy dadpop was the antidote to spending a bit too much time IN THE JUNGLE and was useful bridge back into ordinary everyday world (that could sometimes be okay).

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Also this was the only Sleeper song I liked.

IF SHE LIVED IN SPACE, MAN / I'D BUILD A PLANE

[dorsalstop.livejournal.com]

Out of love so beam me up / to hear her talk again.

Teenage Fanclub are SO SO SO much better than all these losers.

(Oh, and I ticked about half too. Nostalgia innit?)

((Is that the first time a Dutchman's said 'innit'?))
