nice to see the word "great" is as open to interpratation now as it was then


i recently found out that my friend's boyfriend used to be in the llama farmers

Salad?Posh?Haha

Bis used to get on my tits though.They had a serious lack of tunes and she wasnt as sexy as Cerys of Catatonia.

A friend of mine stole a distortion pedal off of them.

I like Bis. Did you hear the second album where they went all shiny disco electro pop? It were great, I tells ye.

The boyfriend of the girl who used to play in Llama Farmers used to work in one of the bars here at the NT.He knicked my copy of the Forcarnation album and i if i ever see him down the street he's going to get a smack.Llama Farmers were everything that is evil with this world.

i remember salad had a tune i liked, if anyone can up it, it was one of their singles... i'll love that person.

also, girl fronted groups of that era:

linoleum
brassy

Linoleum had a good tune that i liked but i can't remember its name for the love of Jesus.The cover of the single was light blue and it had some yellow thing on it.I should have called this the britpop thread really,shouldn't have i?

well all the members of llama farmers are now in a new franz ferdinand/bloc party type band. it's pretty lame really, as the one who is going out with my friend just seems like a real trend follower

yeah, i liked the only song i ever heard by them

Word.

I think the linoleum single might be smear (There must be vaseline on your lens...) but they also had a couple of other ones, one of which included the timeless and epoch defining lyrics, "I won't go out tonight/ can't be bothered/ I won't be stumbling in/ dangerous shoes/ dangerous shoes"

Brassy, also yes. There was another heavier girl band I can't remember the name of, blonde hair, a bit Courtney Love-y, but not brassy. And also there was a kind of art-school band who had a single called 'plastic bag' and they went on stage naked a lot... who were they?

Actually, Google reminds me that you're probably thinking of 'on a tuesday' ("I hardly know you...") which was also great.

This is mental anguish in the shape of nostalgia.

Spot on.It was vaseline,thanks.

fluffy?
cay?

Fluffy, that's the kiddies. All leapord print and growling.

The art-school band though? The word 'plastic' is swimming to mind, but nothing more concrete.

Cay had a shocking live show.

Now. Here's the clincher: Stony Sleep's 'a slack romance' is a great lost record. I'll up it later, because it really is very good indeed.

AND FUCK YOU ALL THE SLEEPER HATERRZZ, THEY HAD SOME GOOD TUNEZZ.[/quote]

name one.

Stony sleep.i'll have to look through my record collection because they are there,somewhere.

'inbetweener' and 'what do i do now'.Classics.

I have a craving for These Animal Men's 'You are not my Babylon' ep now.I blame it on you guys.

Bits of These Animal Men were in Mo' Solid Gold. Mo' Solid Gold had an absolutely blindingly fantastic frontman. You wouldn't believe how utterly brilliant this guy was. Almost that good that you forgot the music was the most turgid shite imaginable.

I've seen Mo' Solid Gold loads and loads of times. Honestly, he's that good a frontman. Never, ever buy their records though.

It's a paradox in an enigma.

Glice have a look through this list to see if there is anything that rings a bell.
