the sonic youth? The? eh? Love them all the same....one of my most favourite gigs ever was sonic youth in the arts college in belfast.....
it's in brackets, but some early releases have them called the sonic youth and they have occasionally referred to themselves as the sonic youth.
B- you, myself and darren may be the only people left in this country who truly appreciate Mansun.
Unfortunately so.
If you add Paul on facebook he occasionally shows up on its chat feature.
Have you got Kleptomania?
No, for some reason i don't. But are you familiar with their mighty, non-album track Ski Jump Nose? Fucking awesome.
nick drake... my life is now complete.
Asides from early-Suede, Mansun are probably the best band at making b-sides in history.
They're also the only britpop group that had a sound built for playing stadiums(ever hear or watch any live clips?)... unfortunately Oasis were the big thing so Mansun got raped.
Can't wait for Drapers next album when it finally comes out, sounds like it'll be crazy. I suggested the name 36(aka 6 squared).
rp: whats this about Nick Drake? I didn't forget him did I?!
