They're advertising the new episode of My Mad Fat Diary using Insomnia by Faithless. I want this show's soundtrack. It'd basically be "All the good stuff from the 90s". goatface posted:Holy gently caress, how is that song 17 years old? Oh sweet mother of god. I could have sworn that was easily in the dying days of the 90s, not 1995.

Paperhouse posted:I was actually a bit disappointed by it, from reading around I thought it'd be cooler than it is. It's still alright but it's mostly britpop, too much Oasis. Where's the shoegaze and the dreampop!? I doubt they'd want to go too far into specific subgenres to be honest, "britpop" was the most hyped up music fads those days, they could have easily gone the cheese pop route and had steps and b*witched and people would have ate that up too.

It just winds me up a bit that this girl thinks she is the coolest thing in the county because her favourite band is Oasis  it's definitely me being a big nerd though, and it's a good show. I was surprised to read that the actress playing Rae is actually Scottish, her Lincolnshire accent had me totally fooled

All I say now is if anything off The Downward Spiral kicks in I will promptly lose my poo poo. I honestly didn't realize she wasn't from Lincolnshire. So well done to her on that front.

Does anyone remember an insect based computer animated cartoon? Would have been when I was 7 or 8 I think so 1995ish maybe? Everyone in the cast spoke with a British accent and it had a very British sense of humour, it was called something like Insectosaurs or Insectoids and I think the theme tune was them repeating whatever the name of it was over and over again. Anyone know what the gently caress I'm thinking of? It's been driving me nuts the past few days trying to remember it.

NaDy posted:I've never heard of a music snob who likes Oasis. I guess for a while in 1994ish they were pretty cool and edgy etc. I think it all changed around that crappy 'Be Here Now' album in 1997, which I remember buying with half of my jobseeker's allowance (this was £24 odd every 2 weeks so a fair chunk of change) from Woolworths on the day it was released. I didn't even like them that much but I was trying to impress a group of people I'd started hanging around with (Hello I am Rae) I remember having a conversation with my best-friend at the time that we were the coolest 17 year olds ever because we liked Belle & Sebastian, Jeff Buckley & Nick Drake amongst others. I still do but my passion burns a little dimmer these days and I am prepared to listen to a lot more than mimsy-wimsy folk-rock.

I used to get it quite a lot until I realised that every single week there were at least 3 news stories about how Morrissey was christ resurrected and that Pete loving Doherty was making the greatest music ever. tl;dr - I'm still a massive music snob.

It's a pretty pro-strat for a music snob to start disliking something the moment NME starts hyping it. In 6 months you'll look prescient.

I used to think the Inbetweeners accurately summed up my teenage years, but My Mad Fat Diary is so much better. The musical snobbery, the insecurity, the active imagination and wanting to shag everything in sight - its so perfect. And this is coming from a bloke who was a teenager in the 00s. I spent most of my teenage years thinking I was poo poo hot because I listened to loads of punk, hardcore and metal bands that no one had ever heard of. These days I can laugh at my silly teenage self and his appalling taste in music. Then again I've grown to love jazz, so perhaps age hasn't changed me that much.

Also when you're sixteen and almost everyone in your year only listens to UK garage, you can become insanely elitist and superior about liking truly terrible bands (I thought I was fantastic at school because I liked NOFX of all people!). EDIT: other people saying more or less the same thing as me. Being a teenager was fun though, good time having a complete lack of vision.

I stopped reading it many many years ago because of the way they would make a band out to be the NEXT BIG THING only for NME in a month's time to be ripping into their previous darlings and finding some other hapless band to Glom on to for a month (remember Menswear?) I preferred Select magazine and still regret the day I chucked them all out. I'd love to have a leaf though them again. There is actually a resource for looking at some scans, but it's not quite the same as the physical magazine- http://selectmagazinescans.monkeon.co.uk/ Oh, & Sky magazine! I'd forgotten about that! Which brought us this delightful photoshoot   Topless Chris Moyles. EDIT TO ADD- http://open.spotify.com/user/e4.com/playlist/5DDYVxVsxFyOZllU0CiyQR Mad Fat Diary playlist on Spotify.

Yep, that was it. Could have sworn I'd tried every permutation I could think of, suppose the random k would have thrown it off. Thanks, I didn't even want to watch it, just remember the loving name.

I can't bring myself to watch My Mad Fat Diary. Yes, I was a teenager in the 90s but it was suvh an awful experience I have no desire to be reminded of it. Gonna listen the gently caress out of that playlist though. Black Mirror tonight

Let THAT one sink in.)

On at like 6 in the morning on channel five (which always made me feel rebellious because the reception was crap which made it "dodgy"), same as ReBoot. I had nightmares for years about the episode where Dot got poisoned. "I need some slow food, FAST!" "Slow food....doesn't come...fast. That's why it's.....slow....food"

My ex-husband said you knew you were getting old when you stopped using the week to recover from the weekend, and started using the weekend to recover from the week. In which case, young VogeGandire, you're allowed. (Btw if you're an old granny like me I don't recommend watching the behind-the-scenes interview with the cast of MMFD where they go on about the 90s like it was some magical far away place where everything was awesome and innocent and wonderful. It'll make you feel well old.)

Weird you were kind of like the opposite to me, rock when i was around 14 - 16 and everything else after it, don't lie i bet you loved a cheeky bit of so solid crew now and then on the sly. Im still surprised that kerrang is still around in a physical format these days, but i guess that's to cater to all the girls and boys who loathe one direction and bieber and such. I was immensely surprised how popular the lostprophets still were, judging by the reaction on twitter when ian watkins was hauled off. I haven't spoken to a fully fledged emo though since about 2007 though.

I too was a teenager in the 1990s. Hell, I was 15 when Blur and Oasis went head to head for the number one spot that summer. What's weird though is that no-one in my school gave two fucks about either of them until Wonderwall was released. We were either listening to the tail end of the grebo movement, grunge, early nu-metal, cheesy euro dance or underground drum and bass/garage, and I still maintain the first garage explosion in 1997 was nothing short of awesome. The crap that came later with Artful Dodger, So Solid Crew, etc. not so much
