  1. Hmm, Cast's "All Change" came out at the start of Britpop really. St Etienne definitely had one album out before Britpop started but "So Tough" and "Tiger Bay" have elements of Britpop in them. The Bluetones were part of the second wave of Britpop. and i would say that "New Wave" and "No I'm a Cowboy" by The Auteurs were both very Britpoppy and came out at the start of the Britpop movement too.

    First Britpop release that i remember is "Popscene" by Blur. That was in 1992.

    Ah but my recollection of Britpop was when I first heard it being used as a genre was in the mid 90s. My pedantry would be to call that 1995 onwards. :p

    However Wikipedia proves me a little bit out in my reckoning...

    Britpop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  2. Other notable Britpop bands as far as i'm concerned:

    St Etienne

    The Auteurs

    Elastica

    The Bluetones

    Cast

    The Boo Radleys (of course they defected to Britpop really from a more shoe-gazey sound)

    Gene

    Space

    Menswe@r

    Echobelly

    Northern Uproar

    Salad

    These Animal Men

    Britpop was a great era of revival for British music.

    I can't believe I'm getting sucked into this, but These Animal Men were never Britpop!

    And neither can I!

    Although Alkaline did say "as far as I'm concerned," I'd like to chuck in my tuppence worth and say that I also don't consider St Etienne, The Auteurs, The Bluetones, and Cast as Britpop because, if memory serves me well, they all had releases prior to Britpop becoming a nomenclature.

  3. Except that NZ uses BMI as the means of determining obesity. A measurement only acceptable for a narrow range of body types.

    Which also kind of fucks anyone with polynesian or sub-continental genetics from the outset. Funny that NZ has always had a bit of an issue with letting-in darkies.

    To be fair she is a bit of hefty lass. Obviously NZ is concerned about their hobbit livestock population being decimated overnight.

  4. I thought it was fantastic...

    the ending was perfect!

    My sentiments too.

    I haven't been on any Sopranos-based message boards to see what the resto of the world's thoughts are on it but the moe I watch the final episode I 've thought of 3 possible outcomes:

    Outcome 1

    The guy who goes to use the john is avenging the death of Phil Leotardo and kills Tony and family as they sit in the booth.

    Outcome 2

    (At the risk of sounding racist) The black guys who enter the diner are there to hold the place up. In the heat of the moment the gun goes off accidentally. Tony is killed by a stray bullet.

    Outcome 3

    As Carlo has been arrested and is alleged to be giving State's Evidence, the FBI's New Jersey branch office have now gathered the final evidence they need to indict Tony on RICO charges. The fade covers the FBI arresting and charging him.

    Purely hypothetical, I know, but does any one have better suggestions?

  5. Damn it! I'm too late.

    I was looking for something to attack OAPs with and laugh hysterically as they stagger for 5 seconds and then fall down, as they do.;)

    *I'll be laughing on the other side of my face when my mother phones to say that my dad got jumped on the way home from collecting his pension at the Post Office*

  6. Ahh, but Love Honour And Obey has the Denise Van Outen meets cucumber deep throat moment does it not or am I getting my films mixed up?

    Indeed but that doesn't make the preceding and following scenes any more bearable. I still had an overwhelming desire to ub hot chilli poder in my eyes and rinse them with Tabasco
