I suggest another Pope Leo - after all, there is a precedent. Pope {R}
would have to be known as the Sunshine Pope and this would confuse
people terribly

Not really :)
Ok then I nominate Alan Freeman as God ( refer to that Young Ones sketch ) and
Friday as the Pope. I assume Friday belives in Alan Freemen. Of course
I could be the Pope. I mean I cannot think of anyone better for the
job :)

I'm well, thanks. Back to full health (well, as full as it gets!), and
recently undergone an employment transition sort of thingy.
Nice to see things haven't changed - I had to mark a good half the
threads as not to be downloaded because they consisted entirely of
slagging off; some fun to be had; some interesting serious discussions.
As to "where have I been" the answer appears to be "doing loads of
work". I'm trying to get over it! I'm reading the group again now, but I
suspect it will take a while to get back to full posting speed!

OK, the latest thingy on my mind...
I noticed yesterday that the album from The Bluetones went straight to
number one in the Our Price album chart, displacing the Oasis one. The
question I ask myself (and the good people of demon.local!) is how much
longer will this go on?
I'm finding it difficult to be objective about so-called "Britpop",
because for the first time in ages I find myself actually liking a lot
of the music that is part of the latest pop craze. But I can't help
thinking that the market is becoming saturated with bands populated by
young men with guitars writing jangly songs.
And what next? I shudder to think...
John Hall
years? Once, they almost all had a definite article: The Beatles, The
Stones, The Kinks. Now, almost none do: Blur, Oasis, Pulp. What the
significance of this might be, I don't know.

You are a fan then? I like Oasis, I think there is something genuinely
exciting about their music. I know they get accused of plagiarism, but
at least they are honest about it. I thought their version of Cum On
Feel The Noize was stonking.

Yes, I guess that will always be the accusation. I seem to remember a
lot of that sort of thing around at the time I was at Uni (early
eighties), and it was quite refreshing after the rock overdose.

I didn't mean the term in any pejorative sense, you understand! I'm not
keen on labels myself - having been a member of a "progressive rock"
band, I know how restrictive they can be.
I bought the Bluetones album, and I think its great. It has also sounded
the death knell for my CD player, which is getting on anyway - it
wouldn't play on it at all, but it was fine on the CD-ROM drive on the
PC. Which is where I do most of my listening anyway!

Yes, I felt like I did when I first got into rock music. Genuinely
exciting. As with a lot of rock music you have to ignore the
personalities, ignore the hype, and just get on with the boogie.
And another hot tip - The Bluetones CD, mentioned elsewhere in this
thread is growing and growing. They could be huge.

Friday is my CD purchase day - we get let out any time after 3:15 if
we've done a good week's work. I go straight over to the shop for a
natter and a listen, then do the shopping with Betty when she finishes
work. Then I can try out the new purchase on the way home - boogie on!

Silly boy - you must be heading in my direction age-wise Mike. Haven't
you noticed that over the years you tend to disregard more and more
new music, giving all sorts of reasons why it's crap. It's a matter of
putting myself back in the open minded position I was in, a long time

I've tried to stay open-minded. I still tend to measure things
against a sort of 'best of seventies' yardstick, so music which
still has that vaguely 'traditional' feel to it gets bought - I
think the last CD I got was 'Great Expectations' by Tasmin
Archer. Tell a lie, it was a Bach clavicord and organ
collection. I don't find Oasis unpleasant, but I do find them
rather dull and uninspiring.
It may be a bit ironic, given my original comment, but the band
I was in until about 6 months ago was really good, and I could
actually listen to our music. The singer/guitarist, though, was
rather more left-wing than me, and although I could cope with
that, his material became more and more black-and-white. He
produced a 'newsletter' for the band (just the one), which
contained such simplistic crap I was ashamed to be associated
with it... the end came because the drummer and I were fed up
with Steve's guitar being so bloody loud (Steve and I had
originally set up as an acoustic duo, then he'd gone back
electric as we gained a drummer and a viola player), and I was
pissed off with the lyrics he was coming up with.

That would put me off - the best thing ever from the Beatles was
"A little help from my friends", and that was crap until Joe
Cocker covered it. Oops, how seventies of me.

Okay, it doesn't work too well as a whole LP, but it does have some good
tracks; I stick it in my CD player and programme tracks 4, 6, 7 & 9.
I think many people took it too seriously. Do you remember when it was
first released, the number of critics who claimed that it was trying to
emulate 'Sgt. Pepper'? The better critics, though, spotted that the
Stones were taking the piss out of 'Sgt. Pepper'; mostly good-natured,
though Bill Wyman's 'In Another Land' is a bit sneering.
You want bad Rolling Stones? That accolade must shirley go to 'Between
The Buttons'.

I sold mine in the mid 70s, dire straits and all that; I though it a
great pity that it was not reproduced for the CD transfer. Still, it
was nice to have the 'bog' cover of Beggars Banquet back for the CD.

Sure were; the one that slips my memory was long before The Pretenders.
