not really forgotten as such, but haven't played in ages.

my DIY soundtrack this week has seen a lot of albums from my teens, many of which i can't have played for at least 2-3years. what surpised me was that i was deliberatle picking albums i thought i wouldn't like anymore but found myself singing along and doing air guitar leaps on my way down the stairs!

top 3 were probably

sleeper: the it girl - a great piece of indie pop which reminded me i used to fancy louise wener smile

the bluetones: return to the last chance saloon - brilliant, if.. is just fantastic.

kula shaker:k

this is the one that surprised me the most. kula shaker had initial success then became a massive source of piss taking, what with crispian mills being a total arse and the indian kitsch wearing quickly. the album is 13yrs old now and i thought it would be very much of its time. its not, its a cracking album with probably 1 bad song on the tracklist. sounded very modern too, liked it a lot.


how about you?

Preferred the First album Expecting to Fly. Went to a gig just before christmas where they played the whole album in order was an excellent gig.

Soundgarden - Superunknown
Skid Row - Slave To The Grind
Iron Maiden - Live After Death
Motley Crue - Dr Feelgood
Anthrax - Attack Of The Killer Bs

All remind me of playing Madden and Altered Beast on the Megadrive and jumping around my room, pretending I was a rock star!!

Deliverance - Weapons of our Warfare
Death - Leprosy

Cant really think of many I've rediscovered - I am very selective and disciplined with my music, not one of these people who gets a new album, plays it every day for a week and then leaves it for five years. I'm not the only one am I?

Reading this has made me dig out my Bluetones albums, my favourite was 'Expecting to Fly' - I am instantly reminded of being a student and seeing them at the Barrowlands in Glasgow.

Also, had 'The It Girl', loved it too!
