Such a powerful song and he did not do it justice. Come on. There's a 9-minute remix of this song and I mean it is of epic proportions with the bass... And his voice sores above the clouds however this live version, is sad uninspired and pathetic. Wow. This is your number one hit and you flopped it!
One of the more memorable, not to say unusual, TOTP performances. By all accounts, Mark E Smith spent much of the day insulting the other acts on the show, especially Elvis Costello.
OMG, I lived in London, England, in the early 90s and saw Gallon Drunk a ton. Best gig was Easter Sunday @ the Scala with Get Carter playing in the background as the band played their intense lounge gritty garage/soul....a gem of a band!!
I'd forgotten about this era. My memories go up until 2002 when I left school then start again about 2010 when I got married. From what I do remember this was hangover TV before going back out again the next night in that window when you could still smoke in pubs and clubs and when you woke up half the hangover was from the Lambert and Butler or Marlboro Lights if you thought you were cool (Lucky Strikes if you actually were...). Even though it was Popworld it was heavily weighted towards guys with guitars who wanted to be Joy Division and called themselves Pop out of irony. Most nightclubs you'd go to it'd be R&B club music like Usher. I'd like to say I miss these days, but I don't (genuinely I was a functioning alcoholic, I stopped drinking and smoking in 2009 and never looked back).
Probably not going to go down too well but I think Simon Amstell is the definition of a bully. He was smarter than the majority of his guests, knew it and subtly belittled them whilst Miquita laughed on. Laughing at masquerading as laughing with.
Never watched this because I don’t like pop music. Never discovered Simon until the buzzcocks, I’ve id known how funny he was I might have watched this!
I confidently believe that with all her millions Shakira still wakes up sweating from nightmares about 2 giggling Brits taking the piss out of her spray on leather trousers and making absolutely no accomodation for her speaking no english.
They would’ve been the biggest band ever if they were better sales men but they aren’t sales men they’re artists and most people don’t understand what that is.
So unusual for me to comment on celebrity these days but f**k me, ive just done a simon anstel marathon of best bits, and he could possibly be the funniest sharpest guy in british comedy history! Absolute genius without a single swear word either!!! Now that's talent ❤
