The Verve's A Northern Soul was the best album of '95, by some immeasurable margin.
F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E. and I Spy(brilliant lyrics) are the best songs on the album. Listened to it again fairly recently and they're the only ones that don't sound dated.
Love the line in Mile End,"The first floor landing smells of fish, and not just on a Friday", genius.

Glastonbury, I don't think anything could make it better now the big fence has largely eliminated the scallies and given everyone a bit more room. Some bands clash, so what, there's alot more to a proper festival, as Glastonbury is, than bands. Most of the fun is hanging out with mates miles, literally and metaphorically, form the day to day tedium of work.
Reading was much more fun until they started selling day tickets and increased the capacity from 45 to 60 thousand without making the arena bigger!

I <3 Sennen. I prefer the b-side. That is all.

Have you listened to A Northern Soul? My favourite album ever. They were a brilliant band before his ego took over. I'm with you on the Urban hymns bit though.
This is quite a worrying story though, at least he appears to be back on the class 'A's which means he might start recording something half decent again.

I saw them supporting Sennen at the Water Rats on Friday and was majorly underwhelmed. Very average, the other support lo-ego were much better.

The Coopers are my favourite band since the Verve. I first saw them at the 100 Club in summer of 2001 at the ripe old age of 25. I was blown away by their enthusiasm, inventivness and awesome tunes. I've seen them 14 times since and will be seing them twice on this tour. Long live the Cooper Temple Clause!

A Northern Soul is a work of utter genius.
I was thinking about him saying they would never reform. It's because he knows everyone(well the real fans not the oasis fans who bought urban hymns) would be there to hear McCabe not him and his huge ego can't handle it.

Great review, I could not have put it better myself. People who make, sign, promote this shite should be shot!

This is the most joyous song I have heard for years. It just gives me the biggest grin and makes me feel all warm inside. Anyone who fails to appreciate this song might as well rid themselves of this world now as there is obviously no hope for your bitter and twisted lonely old soul!

Blah blah blah, great new site etc.
More importantly where is the Sennen album review?!
