Shine 6: on and on and on and on and on and on

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!

It is better than anything else they did - there were lots of crazy rumours at the time that the album was going to be entirely produced by the Chemical Brothers, and it was the period when they were going on about the Wu-Tang Clan in interviews before the vast majority of their fans knew who that was.

didn't every single NME band harp on about how great the Wu were round this time tho? inc. Paul Heaton, Texas and Ians Broudie and Brown.

Well, with the compression of time with hindsight it might look that way, but as I remember it Tim Burgess got there first. For whatever that's worth, i.e. not a lot anymore.
