Conference marvin::uk_music

    I see it's been moved to Kinross Airfield, 10 mins from Perth, 40 mins
    from Edinburgh, and 1 hour from Glasgow !!!
    
    
    Is it true that Kula Shaker, are heading the line-up ??
    
    
    
    							Scott

    Yes - Kula Shaker, Ocean Colour Scene, The Seahorses, and some other
    people...
    
    mikef

    Not really into Kula Shaker too much, Their stuff sounds like the music
    on Mahabarat !!!!
    
    
    
    
    							Scott

    I can't make up my mind about them...depends what mood I'm in.  I can
    imagine them being quite good live tho.

    Who's the lead singer, Quentin Crisp or summit ???
    
    He seems quite a cool bloke, watched an interview with him on telly.
    
    
    
    
    						Scott

    His name is Crispian.
    
    Goldy.

    Crispian Mills, son of Hayley Mills (the actress), grandson of Sir John
    Mills (aged luvvy actor).

    A band that should never have been allowed to progress outside the 6th
    form doors! Cod mysticism and a bit of Sanskrit thrown in for good
    measure. I thought we left this b*ll*cks behind in the late 60'/early
    70's!!!

    PS - Anyone hear the Riley + Lard parody? Bindi Bhajee and a Sag Aloo
    by Peela Tater.

    
    >> measure. I thought we left this b*ll*cks behind in the late 60'/early
    >> 70's!!!
    
    unfortunately, it has recently been replaced by a dirge of dancers with
    very little musical talent. Give me Kula Shaker anyday....
                                      
    Any band that writes, sings and plays their own stuff is head and
    shoulders above any dance troupe - no matter how good looking they are.

    Spot the Spice girl hater !!!

    Who? Me, or Graham?
    
    
    
    
    				Stretch.

    G. perhaps ????
    

    I agree with you Stretch, Their music sounds too much like the sort of
    stuff Boy Goerge was coming out with in 89-90, all that Generations of
    Love and Hari Krishna-onion bahji stuff, I liked it then, but not now.
    
    
    
    							Scott

    
    not hater exactly.... I think they brighten up the various programmes
    and magazines they've appeared on/in, no end. however they have very
    to show musically. I know they claim to write and sing there own stuff
    but so far they're about as credible as millie vanilli or whatever
    they were called - and likely to go the same way.
    
    I doubt very much that anyone  - least of all their record company - will
    remember the name 'Spice Girls' in 2 years time, never mind what their
    names were or which one they....
    
    ....never mind, I'm sure you get the picture ! On the other hand OCS
    and KS will have released a couple more albums and should still be
    hitting the charts.
    
    	G.

    
    Scott, you can not be serious, surely ? or are your recollections of
    Boy Georges music clouded by the same chemicals that caused his fall
    from grace %^)
    
    G.

    Well said.........
    
    
    
    
    I think that they've just put some fun into the charts, I don't take
    them seriously as a musical influence, but I could sit and watch them
    'til the cows come home. 
    
    As for their "women bahaving badly/ lad-ette" image, it's not too
    clever.
    
    I mean there's only one gender who can behave badly and get away with
    it !!!!  After all, we've had centuries of practice !!!!!

    re 15
    
    
    Graham, I do not wish to incrimate myself or anyone else involved in my
    illustrious past, but Boy George collaborated with many a fine
    tune-maker of that special era in music under his More Protein record
    label to come up with loads of good housey-housey music.
    
    
    ps I haven't taken anything since the little, green elves chased me all
    the way home.
    
    
    							Scott

    Oh yeah, he's not fallen from grace either, he is (allegedly) a much
    sought after club dj !!!
    
    
    
    I'm full of useless information, aren't I ???
    
    
    
    								Scott

    
    Well, yes he's back now, but he wasn't to popular for a while was he ?
    And as for the housey-housey music he was responsible for, that's best
    left in the past where it belongs... bands with drums, guitars and good
    tunes will never go out of fashion - all this manufactured stuff is
    just a passing phase. Give it five years, then re-read this note -
    there'll be no housey-housey music around (nobody will even remember
    what it sounded like), ditto for jungle and techno, there'll just be
    whatever the latest craze is and bands with drums, guitars and good
    tunes....
    
    G.

    I think yer right mate.
    
    I suspect that you don't really know what house is ?
    
    Is there house music about these days, I mean REAL house music ???
    
    I could've sworn it finished years ago, but people will remember what
    it sounded like, cause people bought the records. I think it's best
    left in the past too, cause it brings back good memories. I s'pose
    the same will happen with today's music in 10 years time.
    
    As for jungle and and techno, they're just pish !

    Tickets are 28 quid, for 1 day and 50 quid for the weekend !!!!
    
    
    
    
    
    							Scott

    Go to Glastonbury - only seventy five quid for a great experience.
    
    m

    
    speaking of which, have you got your ticket yet ?
    
    
    g. 

    Mike,
    
    A what age do you have to pay for sprogs?
    
    
    
    
         			Stretch.

    
    i think it's 14 - or at least 'til they're big enough for anyone to
    ask!
    
    G.
    

    Tix go on sale March 17th...I won't be able to afford a ticket this
    year, unless I come into some cash.  
    
    sob
    
    mikef

    I'll maybe try and talk one of my friends into getting the tickets on
    their credit card for me, seeing as mine is filled-to-the-gills !!!!
    
    
    
    
    
    							Scott

    
    Boy George and Kula are the same? Uh? 
    
    K is a good album. Don't judge it by the singles. It may not be
    original, but nor are Oasis and a host of others. 
    
    Richard.
    
    ps. And I think it sounds better now that Crispin has changed his 
    trousers!
    
    

    Maybe I ought to listen to K, I think I'd like to see them live.
    
    Much as I hate to disagree with Graham, I don't really think that music
    made with guitars has any more worth than music made with keyboards,
    whether you want to call it Techno or Dance-oriented or whatever.  Back
    in 88 people were saying that the dance-music craze would vanish, but
    it seems to still be around and have spawned some of the more
    interesting developments of the last few years. Personally,  I'd rather
    listen to Tricky than Ocean Colour Scene.  
    
    Its all rock n roll, however its done.

    right, that's you off my christmas list then %^:
