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!

Bawl = the remnants of Puppy Love Bomb (I think) who ran a caff just up from college, and had a t-shirt that said "Dublin is Dead" in the middle and lots of bands from beyond the pale (obv excluding The Pale) around the outside, which as you might imagine got them some press.

I still have Beyond Safe Ways, it's quite good.
