Few of my NO clippings

That review of The Rest Of is a classic and one I tend to agree with (even though I bought the CD). It could easily have been written by myself, though I would have added a few expletives in it.

All my clippings are in a box in the loft and would take forever to scan, spent fookin fortunes on music papers and magazines over the years just for the odd snippet

I don't think I've heard anything from that CD.

It would be much easier if the pages weren't so big because I keep my clippings in a binder...

Few more...

Fookin' Ell, Barney in those specs looks like Kevin Rudd the Aussie PM!

Deep in the memory, of what once was love...

I'll try to scan some more today.:D

Should have gone to spec savers!

Thanks. If anyone has any to share...:D

I don't suppose anyone has a copy of a spoof Hello piece with Hooky and Caroline Aherne? My memory of it is sketchy, I seem to remember someone sitting on the loo in one of the pictures?

I'd never before seen that review of "Technique" a few posts up. My memory was that it got blanket glowing reviews, yet that writers ambivalence about the sound of the record is unnervingly prescient given that "Technique" now sounds akin to a tasty but very smelly cheese called "Lancashire Blue (1989 vintage)"

Someone buy that scribe a half.

It's the first time I'd read it too. I thought it was just one of those clever-arse reviews by someone trying to sound 'street' by getting Barney's name wrong and slagging off the cool band's good record. What was it in, the Face or something?

I think it was in Q.

I was tickled by the journalist's suggestion that the record sounded dated when it came out. I know that's a truism about "Republic", but even though bits of "Technique" have dated very badly indeed surely it was fresh as a daisy in January 1989?

I'm afraid I'm just not in any way hip enough to answer this question myself. Can anyone???!?

I'm hip enough, but too cool to bother.

Anyone found that Hello spoof yet?

A scan would be brill, Shug. If you can find it, I'll tell you why I'm interested in it ;o)

It was probably Select, that was the one I used to buy the most when I was that age.

A fiver says there was someone sat on the bog though.

EDIT: Not it, but a good read...
