Awww were they adorbs

 

[Kate]

OMG I FUCKING LOVE THE NATIONAL

 

[Kate]

This song does not showcase it well AT ALL but Matt Berninger has SUCH a gorgeous voice

 

[dmlaw]

OMG I FUCKING LOVE THE NATIONAL

I was determined to get them in here but they're mostly either not upbeat enough or in weird time signatures. I think I made the right choice.

 

[Tisch]

This song is a bit like the ones that would come on as the lights were turning on and last orders would be called

 

[Iguana]

Awww were they adorbs

Her parents own a shop called Oh My Cod in Hornchurch - I think the Basildon chat made me think of it

EDIT: oh APPARENTLY she just worked there, not owned by her parents

 

[Kate]

I was determined to get them in here but they're mostly either not upbeat enough or in weird time signatures. I think I made the right choice.

Yeah they don't have many danceable ones. This and Mr November maybe

 

[Tisch]

Obviously it is hard to beat Flux or The Prayer, but this might just be my very favourite Bloc Party song.

Banquet would like to HAVE A WORD

 

[dmlaw]

This song does not showcase it well AT ALL but Matt Berninger has SUCH a gorgeous voice

One of my very favourite vocalists ever. He's got a solo album coming out in October.

 

[dmlaw]

The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary

Dave Gahan also went to Barstable School in Basildon.

Oooh that's it!!!

 

[Kate]

Oooh we've gone OLD GOTH

 

[Kate]

Oooh that's it!!!

omg! he's only THE SINGER!

 

[dmlaw]

Only five songs left after this.

 

[ButterTart]

I’m still reeling from Idlewild, to be fair.

 

[Tisch]

We saw Stacey Solomon and Mickey from EastEnders in our local Waitrose last year. Just wanted to share

Stacey Solomons sister Jemma was in my year at school.

I have nothing more interesting to add. I didn't know her at all.

Was she a slag?

 

[Kate]

The bassist from Coldplay went to my school and was in my best friend's brother's year.

 

[Iguana]

Stacey Solomons sister Jemma was in my year at school.

And Jesy from Little Mix's sister went you your school too according to you

 

[dmlaw]

Primal Scream - Rocks

 

[Tisch]

Was she a slag?

I think she was quite boring

Also me and friend made fun of her for having hairy arms.

 

[dmlaw]

I don't think anyone notable went to my school. Certainly not at remotely the same time as me.

 

[ButterTart]

I know we’re all swapping hot celeb connections, but can we all just remember that my former housemate was Roddy off Idlewild’s good cousin? And also I used to work with Treyc off X Factor’s sister.

 

[dmlaw]

I think she was quite boring

Also me and friend made fun of her for having hairy arms.

Well that's no way to get a shag.

 

[Tisch]

And Jesy from Little Mix's sister went you your school too according to you

Yes all the siblings did apart from Jesy. I think. They all began with J and were all the most rough in their year. I'm sure her family were Elm Park mafia.


Back you to the MUSIC!! I love this Primal Scream song. I had no idea the lead singer was so androgynous looking. Like Pete Burns!

 

[Iguana]

Chris Eubank Jnr went to my school and my dad used to say "Just don't ever say 'my dad could beat up your dad'"

 

[Kate]

Is poor dead Denise on this one?

 

[dmlaw]

Happy Mondays - Step On

Manchester section to finish.

 

[Tisch]

Is poor dead Denise on this one?

Who is dead Denise? I was thinking alive Rowetta did the backing vox on this?

 

[ButterTart]

I think she was quite boring

Also me and friend made fun of her for having hairy arms.

I’m picturing Robin Williams with the trademark Solomon overbite.

 

[Kate]

A classic. I wish I was old and northern enough to have gone to the Hacienda.

 

[ButterTart]

Happy Mondays - Step On

Manchester section to finish.

I knew there was a reason we were best friends.

 

[ButterTart]

A classic. I wish I was old and northern enough to have gone to the Hacienda.

I never went to the hacienda. I’ve been on some iconic nights out in Manchester, but that’s the one I feel I missed out on.

 

[Kate]

Who is dead Denise? I was thinking alive Rowetta did the backing vox on this?

Denise Johnson died the other week. Apparently the papers kept printing pics of the wrong black woman so what hope do the rest of us have.

 

[dmlaw]

A classic. I wish I was old and northern enough to have gone to the Hacienda.

I am devastated to have been slightly too young for the Hacienda. In fact, I might go to the flats that were built on top of it right now and dance drunkenly.
