How obsessed am I? Lots.

So, last night I'm sitting in a screening of Live Forever, a pretty good Beeb documentary about the Britpop phenomenon of the mid-90s. There's absolutely fascinating interviews with the Gallagher brothers, Damon Albarn, Jarvis Cocker and assorted music journalists and scenesters of the time. And what's going through my mind the whole time? Ooh, Jarvis is from Sheffield, that's where Sean Bean's from. Ahh, he's still got a trace of the accent; isn't that cute. Then I spend the whole doc way too fascinated by the sporadic interviews with the members of Wonderwall, an Oasis cover band also from Sheffield, with accents even thicker than Bean's.

Seriously, though, if you love the music of Oasis, Blur, Pulp and the lot, definitely keep an eye out for this doc. Noel's interviews alone are with the price of admission.

Missed Blur and Pulp and Oasis and Elastica?
Oh nooo! Slash my wrists. Took me a fairly long time to get into alternative music, (blame songvids that it finally happed at all. And Smallville. And Buffy. Gee, fandom really is the root of, well, everything.) But I doubt I'll ever care where these interchangeable young boys are from. Although I do like that Chad fellow who so resembles your SO. Ask me about Bob Dylan now, that's a different story, eh? ;-)

we should plan an outing for next week.

I'm kinda planning on the clothing show on Sunday. (Vintage and local designers) Any interest?
