I think we have very similar taste in music pal, I posted petrol a few weeks ago, similar era knocking about Cork as well Iā€™d say,
Girl from Mars used to be epic in the packed indie clubs,
'but you never told me your name, I still love you girl from ā€¦ MARS (go mad)

A word of advice on Smashing tunes, donā€™t shoot your bolt too early, you want to stay in this for the long haul :smiley:

James are a great band, this is one of their many great tunes that isnā€™t called Sit Down, a bit more downbeat than their usual style but lyrically it is fantastic

Lovely. I have that on a cassette single. I saw L7 live in the Point supporting Faith No More, a gig where I lost my glasses crowd surfing in the mosh pit.

There really should be a downvote function.

I like that song.

Anyone ever seem Pavement play, canā€™t recall them being in Ireland? One of the best bands of the 90s, some of their stuff was a bit far out but they had some classics.

Been dipping into this album again all week. This tune is a cracker. Funky as fuck, but when that heavy beat kicks in around the 3 min mark and then the synthesized vocalsā€¦ boom!

Great tune, reminds me of a very good time in my life, for some reason I am always reminded of playing snooker in the Ebony club in Cork when I hear it. The context of the lyrics make the vocal performance extra special, I think Gwen Stefani owes everything to that song, like Robbie Willliams and Angel.

Yeah 100%. Career maker. Great song though has aged well, like herself!

I donā€™t know where the Ebony club was at all?

Another top tune from same era
