1994
Whatever happened to Lisa Loeb? She came out of nowhere in 1994 and hit the Top Ten with her song Stay (I Missed You). And then… nothing.
Australian indie-folksters Frente! released this very different take on a New Order favourite on their 1994 EP Labour Of Love.
It’s easy to sneer at Oasis: for their success, their ubiquity, their idiocy, their Beatles obsession, and a great deal of their music.
Last night’s incendiary set by The Prodigy is the last one I watched at this year’s Glastonbury – and the first where I really wish I was there.
Low’s wonderful Christmas album is a staple in my house at this time of year. This is my favourite song.
The Fall might not be the most obvious band to convey the festive spirit. But Mark E Smith and chums do a decent job of tackling this old carol.
This gentle, lilting tune is a classic example of the niche genre called Palm-wine and comes from an album with the memorable title Dead Men Don’t Smoke Marijuana. I think we can all agree with that.
If acid house was the first truly underground music scene to come along since the early days of punk rock, then jungle was its natural successor.
This was the first song I ever heard by Tori Amos. It’s also the last, when it played over the closing titles of an episode of Beef last night. A wacky song by a kooky redhead, it was a good fit for what is a wacky TV show about a man and a woman with extreme anger management issues.
When it comes to minimal techno it don’t come much more minimal than Daniel Bell. And sometimes – driving at night, for example – that’s just what you want to hear. Well, I do.
