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!

NOPE. "Kung Fu" obviously their last good one (best sleeve too). The fact that their sudden and precipitous decline coincided with me leaving University is just one of those cosmic coinkydinks.

i carnt believe kung fu did so poorly in the charts.

HERESY! Angel Interceptor is brilliant. And Oh Yeah is a HEARTSTIRRING WARMER! The fall, not Marky Smith's Fall, but the fall of the band ASH from GREBTNESS was A Life Less Ordinary. BUT THEN AGAIN, the single with the cheerleaders was good, whatever that one was called.
