See, I loved My Life Story at the time! They had lots of violins! Cor, what is this new and exciting take on britpop! And they wore shiny shirts, which I believe was considered to be some kind of statement to image obsessed yoof! I bought their singles, oh yes, I even taped the alBUM of a friend, but in my later years I simply must ask myself how I could EVER have approved of a band who flaut the "virtues" of a gurlie who "leaves the pie, but always, always, eats her greens"? JAKE SHILLINGFORD with your STUPID CURL, I denounce you! Anyway, back we are in September '96, with a STUNNING selection of also-rans at the bottom of the selection (Bawl, anyone? Ruth?), ON AND ON by the Longpigs, and of course the obligatory Cranberries track. Don your Addidas trackie tops/Man City footie shirts and VOTE!

You appear to be the only person who remembers JOYRIDER - please inform the class!

It's a cover of the Jane Weidlin soft rock classic ("ooh you send me!") - they were very much a one-hit wonder despite often coming back on the Evening Sesh to tell LaMac about how they weren't a one-hit wonder.

"ooh you send me!" = Rush Hour?

It's so good
Baby when you're at the wheel
Can't describe the way I feel
It's such a rush just being with you
...Take me to the rush hour!

I am being dim. Never mind.

IMPORTANTLY, mark goodybags (for it was he) said that he would EAT HIS HAT if the follow-up single didn't go top 40 and they were ACTUALLY GIVING IT AWAY (having scanned it) in indie record shops on the saturday and it STILL only got to 41...
