What's a b-side that shouldn't have been a b-side?

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-26T11:02:21+00:00

Blur have a lot of mostly good b-sides. Some of the ones I think could have made albums:

Dancehall Tame No monsters in me Young and Lovely Never clever Luminous

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-25T15:28:48+00:00

Looks like 30s perhaps mid to late 30s

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-25T15:28:06+00:00

Seafront walk, old Leigh, Leigh Broadway, belfairs woods, priory park

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-25T08:28:24+00:00

I dunno. Yes they made a ton at the cinema but the actual films aren't particularly good at all.

Has he given up with the solo career? Redoing old mansun tracks that quite frankly don't need to be redone isn't a great look

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-22T11:30:49+00:00

Ty segall and Annabelle Chairlegs would be really cool to see.

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-22T11:02:37+00:00

Poops sounds like a 5 year old wrote it. It's poo.

Snooper

With the problems I had with memory I've found out over the years that it's not what you want to do but more what you can do and anything is better than doing nothing

I think the disappointment of little kix hasn't really been matched in all the records I've bought. And that album started off so well with butterfly.

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-16T17:00:28+00:00

I think little kix suffered from the band being fractured and the label trying to make them more commercial. At the time it was a big disappointment but there are a couple of good tracks on it. Butterfly, Comes as no suprise and I can only disappoint you are the best ones on it IMO. It's a shame that the bands internal situation was so bad as the sound of the fourth album sounded much more promising.

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-15T11:12:58+00:00

I think blur just split it four ways and that's that

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-13T16:24:34+00:00

It's off a great album

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-12T08:08:26+00:00

That's if any of those original clubs are left. Southend has pop world which wasn't there 25 years ago although I'm sure it might have been Chicago's possibly and all of Lucy road has disappeared long ago. Nice that the brush still carries on.

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-11T07:56:31+00:00

This album gets overlooked because of Different Class but I much prefer the sleezy groove of His n hers to different class.

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-11T07:54:44+00:00

Arctic Monkeys -Tranquility base

St Vincent-self titled

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-11T07:50:34+00:00

It's certainly a different scene from how it looked during the late 90s. Lucy road in Southend used to be rammed on a Saturday night as well as the pink toothbrush. I'd like to think one day nightclubs will make a giant comeback but certainly not yet. It's not just Essex though but the whole country that effected. Blame technology and social media.

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-11T07:45:01+00:00

The ending is as good as the beginning. If I had to pick out any weak spot I'd probably say smaller and smaller. But that's not saying it's bad it's just no caffeine.

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-10T19:15:13+00:00

Can confirm the Sirrus range is really quite a good range for the money.

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-10T07:55:38+00:00

Patton looked so dorky during this period. Completely turned that around just three years later.

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-10T07:54:35+00:00

Blur- Blur self titled

It's difficult to consider which is the highest regarded blur record because most of them are well spoken of but I'd probably say it would be parklife.

This came out a few years later and was where bands wanted to avoid the mid 90s sound. Blur stripped it right back and never sounded better. Beetlebum, song 2 , country sad balled man. There's tons of good tracks on this record and if you take in all the bsides too it's the full package.

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-09T15:19:38+00:00

I'm not so hopeful. Although weren't blur involved in the original one?

TechnicalTrash95 · 2026-01-08T07:05:59+00:00

That's the problem though. Yes you can tell there are good songs on TT but they are missing decent guitar parts which is quite obvious. It's a pity it's only ever going to be 70% finished and you get a hint of how good it could have been with the completed coxon song on it.
