what are you listening to right now?
What: Ash’s Girl From Mars.
Why: Emo.
Elaboration: Released in July 1995, the popularity of ‘Girl From Mars’ lingered well into 1996. I was 15. Circa Oasis. Circa Blur. Circa Pulp Fiction. Circa Smash Hits. Space. Weezer. (More awesome) Green Day. Stupid ‘Peaches’ song. And that ‘Lump’. Supergrass.
In short, AWESOME BRIT POP! Awesome time of my life too.
Then Britney Spears came into the picture and fucked up the music scene as we knew it.
Serena, please come on-line.

What: Daft Punk’s Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Why: One word – Awesome!
Elaboration: Released in March 2001, on Daft Punk’s 2nd Album, Discovery. French house electronic music never sounded the same again. In 2003, together with Toei Animation and Leiji Matsumoto, an animated musical film, Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem was produced, based off tracks from Daft Punk’s Discovery album.
What: Elton John’s Tiny Dancer
Why: Almost Famous!!
Elaboration: Go watch Almost Famous and you’ll know why!
hey i have a file to send to you when you come online. you’ll have fun coz it’s VERY british… and it’s very 90s! hahaha
I think, what i feel now is what my reader feel when he read technical term.
Hah, that’s one of my top 10 fave songs of all time..
Got Ash first album but not the GFM’s album. Actually the whole album of President of the United State is stupid and cute…not to mention music video of ninjas in the peach orchard.
Try Tori Amos : From the Choirgirl Hotel album around 1998 (Search for songs like Northern Lad & Playboy Mummy- this woman writes weird lyrics or should I say cryptic)
My latest Brit rock experience would be Manic Street Preachers new album. Anyway, since those days were long gone and not really into retro rock (Darkness, The Strokes, …etc) I wanna thank you for introduced Toproom in one of your previous post
Jazz is nice. Hehehe
Right now? Gala – Freed from Desire
But generally got some Oasis/Blur/Jamiroquai thing going on at the moment.
Portishead/ Massive Attack/ Cocteau Twins mixalogy
spongefox: nice..
chris: ahh i watched the movie.. years ago. nice one
S: heh you left half the answers in the spreadsheet
hasbullah: har??
ruki: just transports you to a different plane, kan
beefstew: the music videos were rather silly. i remember the ninjas lmao! I like the occasional Tori Amos, but not all the time. Don’t know why, just can’t connect. But yeah she’s a really talented song writer. So poetic. ooOO I’ve not really listened to MSP since ..1998.
ST: Hey i can sing that!
reta: massive attack eh.. hehe
i donch rikes ash but thats me and my indier than thou snobbishness.
give me The Smiths anytime.
The new MSP album is great, a throwback to their nineties work, and it also made me remember their 1998 hit You Stole The Sun From My Heart, where I secretly love and almost bought the album, but chicken out the last minute because it wasn’t the “IT” thing to listen to at that time. (Yes, stupid reason)
And for whatever reason, Daft Punk is being played to death on my ipod recently.
ahseng: u elitist
Z: i am listening to rahim maarof now. BWAHAHAHAHHAAH
