This is the return of the Space cowboy....

[Roy Shaw]

Darn was that tune catchy. Anyone remember the house version with the sped up bit..came out around the same time as Night crawlers.

This is the return of the space cowboy... <sigh> good times.

[Yer_Maw]

its all about the virtual insanity video! how does he do that! id say funk magic. What a guy.

[e_wann]

hehe those were some nice tunes, but still goes my flava out to night crawlers then and virtual insanity was on the radio everytime that i arrived at boarding school at 7 in the morning for 10 consectuative weeks, incredable

[Roy Shaw]

I totally forgot. I didn't mean Space Cowboy. I ment Spaceman.

Remember the house version where they sped up 'Spaceman'. Nothing has got that Euphoric before in my life anyway.

[e_wann]

ahh thats a nice one indeed , in a galaxy far far away ;) noizy for that era imo but can't realy recall the house version sowwy

[Loz]

Phil, did you dress up like the guy from Babylon Zoo at the time?

[Yer_Maw]

trance rushes. tidy.

[Paddy]

babylon zoo were unbelievably shite. they took themselves so seriously, hilarious.

remeber when that levis ad was the talk of the town? everyone at my school was totally jazzed up about that song, then they wen't on top of the pops and the speeded up bit at the start slowed down, and everyone realised that it was SHIT!

all together now -

"i can't get off the carousel, i can't get off the carousel, i can't get off this riiiiiiiiiidddddddeeeeeeeee... ."

[Yer_Maw]

Theres a hilarious clip of him talking about his musical talents and future career that usualy gets wheeled out on some angus deyton clip show vehicle.

"Do you make spherical songs?"
"No - but I hope to one day!"

"Are you a genius?"
"Well genius is a big word ..."
"But are YOU a genius?"
"Well, perhaps . . . "

[Yer_Maw]

[Paddy]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon_Zoo

i didn't realise that they released their last single as recently as '99.

[Loz]

"Can you sing all the notes, from like A, to all the way up?"

[joe pinapples]

Cold Clockwork Doll

Jas - Mann has never been away, unless you have been - :*( - he is still rockin'! Just chek the unofficial BZoo webspace!

http://www.babylonzoo.net/

"Regarding the New BZoo album
The working title!
The new BZoo album is still underway, and I've been informed - exclusively - that the working title for the new Babylon Zoo album is "Cold Clockwork Doll"! It's nearly 7 years since the last BZoo album was released; to see new material slowly becoming reality is fantastic!"

I'm signing up for the free updates - what IS Jas - Mann up to? Apart from updating his 'unofficial' website, that it.

[Yer_Maw]

forget that loser. Im holding for the long awaited crispian mills/kula shaker album Tattva Too.

[Loz]

I'm just amazed that his name really is Jas Mann.

[Paddy]

Still waiting patiently for Ocean Colour Scene to reform.

[Paddy]

haha! i thought that mag was called "the Poo Bible'! that'd be amazing.

Dodgy were pretty dope too.

god there were some shit bands in 90's britain.

[notorious J.I.M]

I was at college with two members of Menswear and Ocean Colour Scene went to the same Sixth Form a couple of years earlier. :(

[Paddy]

that lead singer looks like a proper knobend.

[mdk]

Still waiting patiently for Ocean Colour Scene to reform.


one of the few bands whose very name instils a real sense of loathing within me.

quite a feat.

mind you didnt they start of as some shitty shoegazing band, same kind of time as slowdive and then became even shitter via something..oh i dont know..i dont care..i just have images of stereotypical 'lads' things and chris evans and the sudden urge to kill...

damn ocean colour scene.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

yeah I remember seeing ocean colour scene supporting some shoegazer band in 1991 or something... they were a fucking crap shoegazer band.. and a fucking crap mod revival brit-pop band... fucking cunts...

[Yer_Maw]

i wa in the local pub for christmas eve, and day we caught the train came on and EVERYONE, and i mean everyone was singing the song except our table. Room 101 hell.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

i wa in the local pub for christmas eve, and day we caught the train came on and EVERYONE, and i mean everyone was singing the song except our table. Room 101 hell.

strictly horrorshow

[mdk]

it just sums it up though dunnit

'the day we caught the train'...how fucking bland can you get...

in the realm of human imagination and musical expression they could have gone anywhere, from unrequited love, to political polemics, to zombie clown rape bonanzas...but no...

hey lads ive got this great idea for a song...its 'the day we caught the train'

jeezus wept..

actually no, he's continually weeping and his tears are forming a large ocean whose colour is eternal sorrow. Thats the real scene.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

It's just like the MDK of the past! come back to haunt us!

[mdk]

ooooOOOOoooOOOOOOOoo!!!!!

old skool horrorcore.

im going to listen to some steeleye span now.

[Loz]

I saw a poster up in my local record shop for a club night in Cambridge.

"Featuring Jimmy and Benny from Ocean Colour Scene"

(may not be their real names), but obviously the name of the band still pulls in the crowd.

Other shit bands that you haven't mentioned:

Dodgy (who I last saw supporting The Pogues(?) in Brixton in 1999)
James (who all looked about 12 years old)
Mansun
Space
Ash
Theaudience
Placebo

[Paddy]

space were fucking turd.

terrovision anybody?

[Loz]

Terrorvision's first single wasn't bad, was it? I can't remember.

Probably if I listen to it now, it's balls.
