I wasn’t implying that you were being racist in your post. They’ve used a double-entendre that could be the ‘clue’ to the man’s identity but also acts as a dog whistle to those looking for it.Same, it completely flew over my head. I feel awful for throwing a potential name out there, it could be anyone.

When this first came up, on the Celeb gossip thread someone said 'Green banana' was a reference to an underage person. No racial connection at all.
I genuinely hope that's the case (even though the whole post and potential situation is awful) because if there is racism hidden in plain sight as well, it becomes even more depressing.
I stumbled across this thread on Saturday after spending Friday night listening to a Brit pop playlist on Spotify with the other half. Then watched the hit list which had a couple of Brit pop tunes, followed by blur on bbc2. Trying to unwind with a bit of come dine with me last night and that was punctuated with blur songs as well. It’s a sign to listen to their new album I think
Emma Anderson has a new solo album out: https://pitchfork.com/news/lushs-em...t-solo-album-pearlies-shares-new-song-listen/I loved Lush. I was devastated when Chris took his own life. Poor guy
I’ve found my people!! I absolutely loved 90s indie. I was cool for 5 minutes in 1995. Aged 14, I was really geeky into bands no one else had heard of. Went on holiday to Spain; came back and my favourite bands were suddenly in the charts. Completely indie obsessed: even though we were skint, my dad gave me a tenner every week to put towards music stuff (CDs, t shirts, nme/ mm, t in the park tickets). I had a lovely “I’m common” t shirt, a blur t shirt with a beer mat on it, an oasis t shirt, charlatans t shirt, black grape t shirt: it said “Jesus was Batman”‘on the back: so mum wouldn’t let me wear it to church.
went to any gig or festival I could (t in the park was nearby). My cousin was in some Glasgow indie bands (obscure Bands in the 90s, but a band in the 00s hit it big). Went to one of his gigs when I was 15 in king tuts: his girlfriend fell overherself to find out who the bird was he was chatting to…
Ah… good times

I’ll be honest, I cannot imagine Liam is a pedi. He’s a bit of a slag and that. But no way a 13 year old. Don’t see it at all

Sorry, my one golden rule as an Oasis fan is that I don’t need to defend them on the internet, because I know they don’t give a tit, but that is just too funny,
I loved that song “shame”. I always thought he said “you got 2 years in corton vale prison”
Noel definitely wrote them. However he did have a habit in the 90's of saying he came up with a lot of his best songs on the spot, when actually he had crafted them over the years before they were famous and in between DM and WTSMG. But to be fair he never did many serious interviews back then.Were they duck ghostwritten

I saw Blur and Pulp back in the day. Finally saw Richard Ashcroft a couple of years ago. As I’ve fancied him since I was 18 and he didn’t disappoint. Everyone singing along and hardly anyone with a phone in their hand. It was like 1997 again just for a couple of hours 
He was absolutely awesome. My fantasy was not shattered

This is a great review xxx
Argh the curse of the phones. I was plagued by some twit holding his phone in my eyeline at a gig recently so I waited till the last verse of the song and absolutely bellowed it out of tune (channelling the spirit of those women at The Bodguard in Manchester) at him. He won't be putting that on YouTube.
Man, I didn’t nearly get to see as many gigs as I should have done, but I feel so privileged to have seen Blur, Suede, the Manics, Radiohead, The Divine Comedy and some others before mobile phones were a thing.
This is my party piece too…….and I’m truly tone deaf. People with phones at gigs get on my tits. You’ll never watch the video and no one on socials wants to hear a gig they’re not at……..
I remember!!! Was just thinking about this the other day.

Oasis are hands down the worst band I’ve ever seen live! (Reebok stadium 2000)

One of my signature looks involved red flared cords and an Adidas trackie top, usually with DMs. My hair varied between a short sloping wedge and a 1920s bob and when it was longer, I used to accessorise with hairclips like Louise Wener.
I've noticed a fair few Britpop kids became goths as they got older. Especially the girls. I know I did.

Ahhh paper tickets!!!! What nostalgia!
Is the good mixer still a place to go?? Know it’s still open; wasn’t sure if it was used by youths or just a kind of pilgrimage for britpoppers
