british indie nonsense (from the 90s)
 

after our last britpop nostalgia thread i got on soulseek and managed to track down these tracks by Salad, i thought i'd they'd sound rubbish after all this time, but i actually like them a lot.

my friend used to like that band, although i think it was only cuz of the girl singer, i remember one of her lyrics going something like..."do you have to be so beefy!" like i mean, c'mon.... what the fuck is that about? beefy? they lost it for me on that note.

Speaking as a beefy fellow, I am deeply offended. I'm going to go off and cry now.

I found a copy of their first album at a friend's place recently. Drink The Elixir was a good song. I think the singer was an MTV presenter as well, wasn't she?

yes, she was presenting on mtv europe back in the day. her father is a somewhat famous tv/theatre actor in holland.

i hadn't hear that elixir song in 10 years or so, sounds pretty nice indeed. i didn't know the other songs t&b uploaded, but i don't really like them i think.

i like motorbike and elixir one a lot, the other one is just ok.

i remember that woman being very good looking too.

I quite like the music, as well. Does Elixer skip at the beginning or it supposed to do that? Or is it just me?

Do you generally copy people?Surely that must be bad for the music.

She indeed was.Was she not swedish or something?

dutch, as 3ra5erhead stated.

i don't think it's supposed to skip, but there was only one person on slsk who seemed to have any stuff by them, so there's not much i can do about that.

for those who are interested, i'm trying to download some stuff by linoleum at the moment.

Marijne van der Vlugt, the singer, is now in a band called Cowboy Racer. www.cowboyracer.com or music is at: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...dID=687 62378
i dont really know anything about either of 'em though...

According to that myspace cowboyracer includes e-da from the Boredoms. Interesting.
