Same with other women around that time in the 1990s. Donna Matthews from Elastica got flak for it and I think also Pearl Lowe and Courtney Love. Seems women who took drugs were deemed to be far worse.There's also the tired narrative that a woman is to blame. As though a junkie wouldn't be able to get it without her. Jesus
Just that he is very competitive and dismissive of people. Justine hinted that he was controlling as well, telling her she should give up the band and become a mother. He is also one of those people who can smoke, drink and take drugs but not become addicted, whereas everyone else around him become shells of themselves. I just get the feeling he is a difficult person but an absolute genius at the same time.
I am not ashamed to say that I copied Louise Weners haircut back then
Oh wow, Salad! But I think it was the Chart Show that got me into them, the lead singer was a vision, it was the “Motorbike to Heaven” song and video that made me fall in love and I still play that song a lot, as well as “Drink the Elixir”.
The DM has been running those little pieces on him for a while now, and I thought they were implying that he was back on drugs. Maybe it’s as “simple” as one partner not being prepared to put up with the other’s addiction any more?
This, a million times! I loved Suede and These Animal Men and Elastica and all the other bands that only half-made it who were a bit spiky and camp and snotty. The Oasis ladrock stuff I can take or leave.
Please don’t feel too bad. The real blame lies with these kinds of blind gossip sites. It’s one thing for them to tell a story about say, an actor who was rude to a waiter and didn’t leave a tip, give a few clues and we all have fun guessing.Same, it completely flew over my head. I feel awful for throwing a potential name out there, it could be anyone.
I’d love to know too. I mean if you’re sure Richey is still alive, you’d know how to spell his name surely?
It was just a sea of forty plus year olds and no phones in the air. Pure nostalgia.
We just finished watching “House of the Dragon” and every tine Phil Daniels pops up all I hear in my head is “Parklife”.
Purple and orange Gazelles. - the only thing that I still have from the 1990s that still fit me (although even they feel a bit snug) and bought on a trip to London to celebrate leaving Uni. Went to see The Frank and Walters in them and got beer spilled on them first time of wearing but the support act for that gig were some no marks called Radiohead
He seemed desperate to become a father back then, and his last partner became pregnant very early in the relationship. Given that it was so quick I’m impressed they stayed together for 25 years.
OCS are supporting Richard Ashcroft at the gig I’m going to this afternoonI was raging I wasn’t able to see Pulp in June when they played Dublin, as I was working and dont live in Dublin, but I got to see Blur in Malahide Castle and it was just the best gig. Damon seemed off his face though
This has unlocked a memory of an Oasis t-shirt I had-white with black piping on the sleeves and logo was black, I thought it was the shit! I also loved OCS and saw them in 1999 at a festival. Excuse me, I am just going to go have a cry about my lost youth
