SHINE TOO: NOW THEY'LL SLEEP

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!

It's not great, is it?

It "improves" a great deal with Shine Three. This opinion may or may not be connected with the fact that S3 was my first evarr Shine. Even if the Boo's song is sodding From The Bench at Belvedere and not as good as WAKE UP BOO.

I remember 'Bench...', it was rubbish. The Boo Radleys are rotten and meant that I couldn't read To Kill A Mockingbird for my English GCSE without sniggering like a child. Which I, basically, was.

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

It is the only thing I have heard by him or his band! Cis and I agreed at the weekend that it is a really good novelty single.
