Had I ever received a wink from Cracknell, I'm not sure if I could've been held responsible for my actions. I had a really rather major crush on her back then. I remember the first time I saw her in that video for 'I was Born on Christmas Day', the one where she's wearing those retro fur boots. For about three weeks in the early 90s she was like some kind of Julie Christie for the post 'Baggy' generation. I just watched the video again and, yep, she still does it for me. |

Strangely enough, I was thinking about Lush earlier today.
They were rubbish. |

lol. yeah. Although thinking about it, are you sure that wasn't the one she supposedly 'winked' at you with? Either way, I prefer to describe it as 'quietly resting'. It's weird really because, to be honest, she was never that attractive anyway. There was just something about her. A face for the times I suppose. Lazy eye or not, Saint Etienne really were a smashing band. Fox Base Alpha, So Tough, great stuff. Blimey, does anyone remember World of Twist? I think I might just've been their one dedicated fan and still have their first album on cassette somewhere. They were a bit of a poor man's Saint Etienne in some ways, but blimey, memory lane or what?!? |

Aside from Sarah Cracknell's obvious hotness, I never understood the appeal of Saint Etienne. They just sound like Ace of Base to me.

There are times, like now, when you just baffle me.

Back on the topic slightly. I'll tell you who I always liked far more than they ever deserved ... Gene. Bloody Gene for Christ's sake! I mean looking at them objectively they were the worst of the worst. Maybe even worse than that. But for whatever reason I did actually like them, and even more difficult to explain ... I somehow still do.

Given the fact that you prefixed your reply to your friend with 'Holy Joe,' I take everything back. I might not see the similarity between Ace of Bass and the frankly God-like Saint Etienne myself but your conversational insertion of a 'Holy Joe,' demonstrates only one thing to me ... brilliance. |

I'm not alone! Thank you Lord! Awful band, and I still find myself fond of them more often than I do something that I know, in my heart of hearts, is better.

I've got a soft spot for Ultrasound, but I try not to mention that in public.

Fucking Hell!!!!! That is genuinely brilliant to know. I'll stick on a piece of utter, utter tripe like 'London Can You Wait', or 'Olympian' or even, heaven help me, 'Sleep Well Tonight' and I'm thinking, why on earth am I actually enjoying this? And am I alone in this affliction? I'm convinced it's the drumming. I mean maybe it's brilliant and we just didn't realise. Maybe that fucking imbecile in the beret that plays the drums is the one true talent in the band and it's him, beret boy, who's subliminally drawing us back time and time again to what otherwise remain an utterly shit band. I mean what else can it possibly be? Certainly not Rossiter's lyrics. Anyone who can start a pop song with the line 'my kith and kin' is frankly a cunt. |

I like Oasis. Downloaded their gig from Wembley this year and I must say that I was impressed. They are in the best shape since Be Here Now, over ten years.
The first two Oasis' albums are perfect music to get drunk to. |
