defend the indefensible: DODGY

Sounds good! I really like Nick's sometime appreciation for music most dismiss as crappy Britpop (see also Embrace); it makes my own weaknesses far more communal!

I never liked OCS, dude.

Well, no kind of music is *all* crap.

(there, I said it!)

NICK WE WERE ALL 11 YRS OLD ONCE, and OCS didn't exist when you were 11 :P

When I was 11 I liked Marillion.

= I'm a fuckload more prog than you.

when i was 8 or 9 i liked king crimson's "21st century schizoid man", talk talk's "spirit of eden" (Y RLY), all of the cure's early-mid period stuff, xtc's "nonsuch", pink floyd's "ummagumma live", and bjork's "isobel"

SO THERE

WIWE IL um, Wizzard/beatles/radio pop.

You lot must have had older bros/parents that were 'into' music. Mine stopped at Sgt Pep.

This thread has convinced me - I'm going to rip Homegrown to this new-fangled iPod thing tonight, so I can listen to it for the first time in 12 years (or whatever). Seem to remember liking 'Making The Most Of'.

Older brothers for me; I nicked the Marillion tape out of JR's room, I think. Or maybe Jim's. I can't imagine it was Jim's though. He was into Mega City Four at the time. My parents have little to no interest in music, and my brothers moved out when I was about 10 or 11 or so, so their influence ended then, pretty much (1990).

This is how Putin's Russia started.

I thought the massed crowds of ILM would be excited by this news. (Shouldn't mock, it's for cheridee. So I'll let someone else do it instead.)

Friday 8th August
Carling Academy Oxford

The headline artist, recently reformed Dodgy, will be performing their hits which include, "Staying Out For The Summer", "Good Enough" and "If You're Thinking Of Me". Dodgy will be joined on the bill by local Brit Pop pioneers, The Candyskins who have reformed especially for this show. The Candyskins were last seen performing at the sell out "End Of An Era" show at the former Zodiac.

Set to open the show are local new talent A Silent Film, followed by TCT Music favourite Frank Turner, who will be playing a special solo acoustic set.

To ensure as higher donation as possible to Cancer Research, the promoters and their staff will be working on the event for free.

Bet no-one turns up for the first act, thinking it's just a silent film.

Bet no-one turns up for the second act, thinking it's a wretched Billy Bragg impersonator with a bag of plums in his mouth.

Jokes bruv, cancer is serious biz

"so Let Me Go Far" was actually a good song, "In A Room" weren't bad either. "Good Enough" was horrible and sounded like the Rugrats theme tune.

Disappointed by lack of follow-up "Bet no-one turns up for the headline act" zing

New album coming out this year apparently, named 'Stand Right Up In A Cool Place'.

Is this an ILX first diss of Frank Turner? I'd never heard of him until last year but DJ Mencap had him nailed 4 years ago.
