I'm in the mood for music and video. Let's make it a block of Britpop...The Stone Roses, "Fools Gold"
The Stone Roses, "I Wanna Be Adored"
They were huge, right on the cusp, and they blew it. One of the all-time best debut albums, and then they flamed out.
Oasis, "Supersonic"
Blur, "Parklife"
I don't know where I come down on the Oasis/Blur thing. Blur has some great songs, but they're also really uneven, in my opinion. Oasis were consistent and solid and had a more steady sound, but I dunno.
Pulp, "Lipgloss"
Pulp, "Babies"
Jarvis Cocker had a great style to him -- a sort of reptilian charm.
Sleeper, "Inbetweener"
Lush, "For Love"
Huge crush on Lush's Miki Berenyi (pictured above). Exotically beautiful woman.
Elastica, "Stutter"
Elastica, "Waking Up" (live)
I had a huge crush on Donna Matthews (the redhead in the video). Purloined riffs and all, Elastica still made good songs; their debut was really solid, through and through. Heroin did them in in the worst way.
Suede, "Metal Mickey"

Heh -- I read the other week that natural blondes will be extinct in 100-200 years, at current rates. Redheads don't stand a chance, except as the gleefully odd mutation that they are. Perhaps that's what the redheads are counting on!
Hmm I love the idea behind this website, very unique.
