Ah, a classic...

1. The opening riff (still gets me every time)

2. Worst bit? You gotta be fucking kidding!

3. It's the best damn introduction to any album bar Baba O Riley or I Saw Her Standing There.

4. 100%

5. While riding down a water slide, I tried to slow my speed with my bare feet. I cut up the bottoms of my feet pretty nicely, and I walked uncomfortably around the beach the rest of the trip.


"Hello, my name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a letter for me..."

"Okay, Mr. Burns. What's your first name?"

"I don't know."

alright...my turn...

1. The work of Stevie boy on this one is astounding, and as pointed out earlier, it's a great beginning to the album.
2. I can't think of a bad bit either
3. the whole I've lost you bit reminds me of my love life!
4. I give it a 94
5. Trying to drink like Shugster, and losing my whole world (why did you have everything in your backpack I'm With Stupid I mean surely you knew you were going to be having a few drinks, so why carry EVERY DAMN THING with you...Jeff must be the dumbest sonofabeach in the whole wide world)

Thank you, g'night, you've been a great audience!

1. The whole song is pure class, but I love the intro and the keyboard solo.

2. There are no worst bits of this song.

3. Love it cause it was the first song by NO I ever heard on the radio.

4. Rating: 95%

5. No bad experiences here!

1. Particularly like Barney's 'thrash' solo partway though (see also: close of Love Vig). Best bassline ever too, so infectious. Also love the way Barney 'spits' his lyrics out.
2. Hello? Why isn't this played live anymore?
3. Talismanic (is that a word?) track, and probably even MORE of a song for the 'ardcore purely cos of it's omission from live sets. Hooky said on MTV around the time of Republic (and I'm para-phrasing here) that his greatest joy was watching the faces in the crowd when he started up the bassline. Thought he was taking the p*ss somewhat even back in 93, cos they weren't playing it. Now I'm just utterly bemused.
4. 96%
5. 'Done' lots of 'dumb things' on holiday in me yoof. Two girls from Chorley and Blackpool spring to mind. wink

1. Best bassline ever
2. They don't play it anymore
3. Loved that birds and bees line - so funny and innocent sounding that just fitted in with Barney's "little boy lost" stage persona at the time.
4. 97%
5. Well there have been a few. Someone I know may be reading though, so I will keep my peace on this one wink

Well hello again, you Electronic cover star you!
So here goes:
Best bit: Hooky's bassline
Worst bit: being a bit short
Why I love it: reminds me of 1983 (oh teenage love...)
Percentage: 80%
Wackiest holliday misdoings: destroying traffic signs late at night (summer 1985)

Jim...I don't think many people have this one on their favorites list...because it's not one of the "best known" songs...so it kind of slips by...

you know what I mean...

ask most people what their faves are...and you will get the standards...

Blue Monday
True Faith
The perfect kiss
BLT
temptation
and things like this

I bet there aren't many who would say

Age of Consent
Angel Dust
blah blah blah...

they have so many great songs that we often forget about some of the "just" very good ones...


the rumors are true

and yes Patrick, we want to hear all the gory details about the dumbest thing you have done on holiday...

if you need some more encouragement, here's yet another story...I really do need to quit drinking while on holiday...

first time I went to Cozumel...I couldn't check into my hotel when I got there...but it was all inclusive, so they suggested I go to the bar...I mean, free beer, how could I pass?

so I drink lots and lots of dos equis...and then decide to go for a swim in the Carribbean...well, somewhere along the way, I lose my new sandals...

and they were really nice looking sandals...

so see my whole point here...I am a jessie...and it's okay to tell us what you did, we won't respect you any less in the morning...I swear!!!!
