I spent a couple of weeks mainly listening to <em>Sci-Fi Lullabies</em> and it went very well indeed with my disposition, recovering from an op with the appropriate painkillers.<br /><br />They are responsible for some tripe (The Tears, good god) and more than anyone else for britpop, but are also a fine example of the setting up one's own world side of pop that I've always liked, with a fine sense of place - everything seemingly occurring either below the Heathrow flight path in some outer West London semi, or in a Holloway bedsit with peeling 70s wallpaper depending on the song. And to be entirely honest I prefer their spin on Ballard to, say, Kode 9's...Mind you, I never plucked up the courage to write a post about them. Pulp is one thing, but Suede might get me excommunicated from the hardcore blogosphere.owen hatherleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943115307136493045noreply@blogger.com
