Best line I have heard all week:

"I'm much happier. Much poorer but much happier and I wouldn't go back."

Glad to hear it! Smile

I prefer Martin's Boo Radley's stuff so I wish he would go back, maybe not to that hair though..

Didnt Britpop pretty much kill guitar music for a couple of years, afterwards everything was dance music and clubbing, I remember when the Beta Band came out it was like 'oh shit a decent guitar band' and then it was all chemical brothers, Skint records and Ninja Tune till the Strokes came along. I always figured it was a reaction against sleeper and gene.

Against bloody Menswear more like. And the Longpigs, Kula Shaker, Ocean Sodding Colour Scene and Dodgy (ffs!). And as for the deification of Paul Weller - he's the Eric Clapton of his day, only more dull!!!!

Absoloute complete load of toffee one and all.

I saw an advert for something tonight and the soundtrack was Baby flipping Bird.
There's another one I hoped I'd forgotten!

There was some crap around then wasn't there? It was no better than Mcfly or Busted really!

*Longpigs are incredible and I won't hear a bad word said about them (if you try I'll put my fingers in my ears) Cool

OK,
You can have the Longpigs.

But no way is anyone having Kula Shaker, Dodgy or Weller.

Razz

Ever.
