Had a bit of a laugh at who WASN'T mentioned!! "Cast aside this track's involvement with reality series The Hothouse or risk overlooking its merits. It's an example of the growing rock element creeping into dance. Recognise that riff? It's from the '90s Brit-poppers Elastica's hit Connection. The vocals aren't a patch on Justine Reichmans but it's catchy." I haven't been watching Hothouse (ANOTHER crappy real estate renovation show, but I guess I betta check out the 'connection'. Considering Wire are about to perform here you'd think they could at least slip in a mention. *sigh*.

Yeah, I've read (or seen on TV) that. Did nobody notice at the time though? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2004 01:56:49 -0000 From: "Tim" Subject: [idealcopy] OT: The Brits 2004 If you watched last nights 'Brit Awards' you could be forgiven for thinking British Pop has finally died on its arse Why? 1. Pretend "punky" public-schoolboys 'Busted' fucking murdered 'Teenage Kicks' (which is a difficult song to do badly...they managed it by adding sugary harmonies and taking it in turns to sing it like Blink 182 being trampled by a shetland pony with irritable bowell syndrome) 2. You have to worry when the most enjoyable music on offer is 'Wild Boys' played by the newly reformed Duran Duran. (They do at least have a Farmer on Drums, and a bloke with an 80s Mullet on Bass so not too different to Wire eh?) 3. Todays popstars have absolutely nothing to say except "Thank you God" and "Thank you Sony/BMG" which is how ALL the acceptance speeches went. (Except for The Darkness who went on about how much they 'Rock' in that hilarious Ironic way. Ho fucking Ho.) 4. And whatever happened to pop stars being glamorous and exciting? Dido is apparently our best female singer, she looks like a girl who works in a Shoe Shop, and sings with all the passion of ....a girl who works in a shoe shop. Daniel Bedingfield looks, and sings like a bus driver. Basement Jaxx looked like they had come to fix the computers, Justin Timberlake is supposed to be the most fanciable man on earth but he looks to me like he could be James Harries' older brother (that's James Harries the freakish child prodigy turned antique dealer who had a sex change...anyone?) 5. The Darkness won loads of awards, but that 'ho ho isn't Heavy Metal funny' joke has worn so painfully thin now. Can't wait for their 2nd LP.... 6. The only vaguely amusing thing was that 50pence rapper bloke, who preceded his act with a sketch re-enacting him being arrested by the police......with American actors pretending to be British cops with Dick-Van-Dyke style "Cockney" accents. "Cor Blimey...you're nicked you so-called Rappaaaah!" 7. The Brits may be glitzy and glamorous now, but its no more a reflection of the UK music scene than the old 'BPI Awards' that preceded it in the 80s...which were usually won by Dire Straits, Sting, Phil Collins and Annie Lennox regardless of whether they had made any records that year. Same old shit in different shoes. 8. Same voting rules apply...(Mr BMG says to Mr Sony....I'll vote for your new 'breaking act' for 2004 if you'll vote for mine...hence some bloke called 'Lamar' who no-one has ever heard of won best R&B act or something). 9. We didn't even get to see any rock stars acting like the drunken stupid fuckwits they are. 10. Some tedious nonce called Jamie McCullum, a bloody Harry Connick JR-style third-hand Sinatra impersonator (post Robbie Williams bollock swinging) doing a version of the Cure's 'Love Cats' that made the Cure sound like an immensely talented band. I hope that out there in TV-Land some future Ian Curtis, some future Bruce Gilbert, some future Aphex Twin, some future Kevin Rowland... was watching all that and planning how to destroy the whole fucking lot of 'em. We watched the British Folk Music awards as well. Don't care for all that hey nonny nonny stuff but the gig was much better.....and much funnier acceptance speeches and ...at least they care about the fucking music! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2004 14:03:10 +0800 From: "Tim ****" Subject: [idealcopy] Those Models tracks You All Wanted ;) & a Whitehouse 2004 Interview These might be of interest to someone around these parts?

The three bands he performed with on TOTp were White Plains, Edison Lighthouse and Brotherhood of Man. Buggered if I knew he was in First Class, but he was. "They all got released, and all sold as we've just talked about. That was because of Top Of The Pops, a record program, which has been running here for about... it must be thirty years. In those days it was a major television show. I did three of the titles on one particular night on the show (with the Edison Lighthouse, White Plains and the Brotherhood of Man.)" http://www.popentertainment.com/burrows.htm AndyL >> -----Original Message----- >> From: owner-idealcopy@smoe.org [mailto:owner-idealcopy@smoe.org]On >> Behalf Of Keith Astbury >> Sent: 18 February 2004 22:11 >> To: MarkBursa@aol.com; RLynn9@aol.com; idealcopy@smoe.org >> Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Re: Keith's best of 1991... >> >> >> > The First Class.
