gedge, barlow, oldham...
david gedge
what a beautiful man... sorry but he is. when he smiles
leeds
heartbreak early when the drummer he loves leaves him for another band mate
but then, later, recorded by steve albini... championed by john peel (rip.)
and all those amazing songs
new favourite is 'no' off bizarro
and realising the brilliance of 'brassneck'
that actually might be the original version. not sure. it sounds bigger on the recording i have. and maybe slightly different.
i first heard the wedding present in the early 90s. got watusi not long after it came out i think... yep, 1994, island
adelaide, where i'm from, we knew what was happening in england. always. sarah. julian clary. the office, the goodies, ride, new order, (...chapterhouse, slowdive, seefeel) the bbc world service :)
more english than the english, i've heard said
it is a particular accent, not as strong as gedge's leeds or the rumble of a westcountry burr but it's individual...
