FYI the Spaghetti head track although not to my knowledge a hit did receive some attention as it was the music used for a beer tv commercial (offhand I think it was Stones bitter but I'm willing to be corrected on that, hell it was 18 years ago after all)spencer kurashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738320322366648084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141796840572698100.post-85838856921312371062010-09-10T17:59:10.543+01:002010-09-10T17:59:10.543+01:00Not an aversion as such; I think I was just a bit ...Not an aversion as such; I think I was just a bit indifferent to a lot of the indie dance stuff around at the time. I did manage to hop on the Farm's Groovy Train though, at least (possibly I was swayed by the presence of Harry Cross in the promo vid).Kippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204054692989383519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141796840572698100.post-29373089718162772972010-09-10T17:25:58.139+01:002010-09-10T17:25:58.139+01:00That is interesting Kippers – did you have an aver...That is interesting Kippers – did you have an aversion to indie-dance tracks? Loaded, Fool’s Gold and Soon are the only ones I liked enough to buy out of that lot.<br /><br />The only one we’ve got in common is Twisterella but to be honest I bought that by mistake – I thought I was buying Leave Them All Behind (in my defence I didn’t know the track names and they did release them very close together).Artoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846359529440273892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141796840572698100.post-65319908740439768022010-09-10T14:50:37.442+01:002010-09-10T14:50:37.442+01:00It's more than a tad incongruous, isn't it...It's more than a tad incongruous, isn't it?

Were the Wonderstuff especially big down under (so to speak)? BTW, Miles Hunt ended up presenting 120 Minutes, MTV Europe's weekly indie music show, a few years later. I heard so much great music first on that; still miss it now. Actually he took over presenting duties on that from Paul King, erstwhile frontman of not-very-indie-at-all-actually King, who really was a strange fit for that show.<br /><br />Any particular reason why The Drowners regularly preceded Grange Hill? (I could understand it for that episode where Jeremy Irvine drowned in the pool but that was strictly a one-off!)Kippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204054692989383519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141796840572698100.post-71852475643825636982010-09-10T00:30:03.959+01:002010-09-10T00:30:03.959+01:00Ooh, I'm surprised you didn't have The Sto...Ooh, I'm surprised you didn't have The Stone Roses and Primal Scream! Wow, what a time warp that track listing has sent me on. Two weird points of note from Australia: Suede's The Drowners was regularly played before Grange Hill on our ABC's Afternoon Show (but I preferred Metal Mickey); and Vic Reeves & The Wonder Stuff's Dizzy spent an inordinate amount of weeks in our charts at #1, despite us never having any exposure to Mr. Reeves (tragically).menagersnoreply@blogger.com
