bielesibub Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Probably not trendy or down with the kids music, but after hearing their music on an advert during the European Championships I'm not sure if I should be embarrassed but I'm kind of hooked on this at the moment. I think The Cure like bass mostly does it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted June 28 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28 Haha yep I can remember irrationally despising that New Radicals song at the time. I couldn’t tell you why, maybe through over exposure because it was everywhere. I thought he looked silly in his little hat too. Although to give him his due, the singer Gregg Alexander has a co writing credit on most of the songs on the “Begin Again” soundtrack which I rather like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Wife is obsessed with that song. I had no strong feelings one way or the other, there's certainly plenty more egregious crimes of that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was outside the studio in the corridor that ran between this studio and the Coronation St Studio when this was filmed.

I think you have underplayed your hand. It really is one of the worst f***ing tunes ever written. Worse than anything by Lemon and McCarthorse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd American band that actually seemed to be more embraced in the UK. Not even sure people are still alive who would notice the influence of Rundgren? It always sounds like Waterboys with the open-wide production values with edges all sanded off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not really a big deal, the band I worked for at the time were the other band on that edition of The Other Side of Midnight. As music programmes go in the UK it was fairly obscure as it only went out on Granada (and possibly a few other regions) really quite late at night midweek It was however at the time when the NW of England was the epicentre of Alternative music so there were some really legendary performances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me they look like madchester blended with a bit of mod-revival but strictly in clothes and looks, but they sound like kind of a boring "the the" or rundgren but kind of very bland?
