Well at first I thought it might be Oasis trying to distance themselves from Beatlemania.... fair few glam icons in there as well as "classic british songwriters". But the giveaway was the last line. Old Damon kept hammering on about Augustus Pablo on the telly the other day when he did his Mali music thing. So a mod who wants to be a rasta? Who else could it be?

I was a bit disappointed with it after buying >it on the back of the wondrous 7 inch 'New Slang', as it was a bit too >languorous for me (this, admittedly, from someone who goes to Lambchop >gigs!). ...i really like it now, but it took four or five plays before it got under my skin. hard to compare with them with anybody else, i have described them as a US Chills (both having obvious 60's influences)... what do you think...? >Did NME 'discover' them? I first heard 'New Slang' on Peel while washing >up one evening - one of those moments when you just stop what you're doing >and listen intently to the radio. as far as the NME goes i was just being (double) sarcastic, but yeah, i think i first heard them on Peel's show too. only kind of half heard it, if you know what i mean, but made a mental note to look out for them. weird band, great lyrics too... ian.s.j. >----- Original Message ----- >From: ian.s. jackson >To: >Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 8:47 PM >Subject: [idealcopy] OT - Guardian/music reviews > > > > ...and they've finally 'discovered' the joys of The Shins' 'Oh, Inverted >World' after the NME 'discovered' them...just less than 12 months after the >LP's release...better later than never...? > > > > ian.s.j. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 May 2002 02:59:28 +0100 From: "Keith Astbury" Subject: Re: [idealcopy] guess who? mark said > But the giveaway was the last line.

Who else could it be? damon even started playing a melodica himself! incidentally, talking of melodica's, did anyone ever identify what that mystery 80's track was in the end? i sent to a couple of likely candidates myself, but to no avail. keith np dome2 ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V5 #166 *******************************
