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

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

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!

The thing is I kind of do feel guilty - or rather conflicted - about liking the Manics! My objection to "guilty pleasures" isn't NO GUILT EVER NO NO but that it's a glib way to mask and not talk about more interesting reactions.

Is the conflict between you and your younger self? Or is it an 'omg they are rub, but the chorus of Design For Life is dead catchy' thing?

Personally, I can't stand them, but you knew that already.

The chorus of ADFL is dead hamfisted so it isn't the latter.

It's a bit to do with the 'resentment of rock' stuff I talked about in yesterday's Popular entry.
