A New Morning is precisely no Suede fan’s favourite album. Upon release in 2002 it quickly developed a reputation for being lightweight, blasé, dull, same-old same-old, all the derogatory terms magazines like the NME and Q Magazine could pull from the dictionary to describe a band running on fumes. So why am I bothering toContinue reading “Entry #35 – A New Morning (a.k.a A False Dawn)”

Entry #34 – Magical Mystery Tour (a.k.a One Trip to Albert Dock Later…)
What’s there to say that hasn’t already been said about the Beatles? Sweet F.A. It’s been over 60 years since they evolved from the Quarrymen and they’re still hyped as heroes of music who shaped and reshaped the industry to their heart’s content in the 60s.

Hello again. When I abruptly stopped writing posts on A-Side Glance, I had just given by thoughts on the one and only album from the La’s. I’ve gone on record as saying that that record is one of my absolute favourites and a must-listen for anyone and everyone. And conversely the band themselves went onContinue reading “Entry #32 – The La’s (Mike Hedges Version) (a.k.a Same Proverbial, Different Day)”
Entry #31 – The La’s (a.k.a The Forgotten Four)
History has unfortunately dictated the La’s as one trick ponies, as the only song of theirs that you still hear these days is the bittersweetly romantic There She Goes. And, of course, they only have that one self-titled album to their name. Which is a crying shame because the La’s were a band with soContinue reading “Entry #31 – The La’s (a.k.a The Forgotten Four)”
