Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 9 - March 2020 /// X-Ray Spex - Germfree Adolescents

[Joe Mac]

So many questions, so few worthwhile questions.

Where are they from?
Name an artist they’ve influenced?
How old is this album?
Etc etc etc

Feel free to answer or wait or whatever, I’m just talking to myself out loud...

 

[geporter]

[Dirtbag Auntie]

Okay.

drummer is a dude and this band has influenced countless bands but still doesn’t get their due.

 

[Dirtbag Auntie]

I will now accept a question from a ghost.

Elastica - self titled.

That's a real guess, @ChristoBee . I mean, Paula is also real. But you know.

As much as I love blur, Justine really did get a rough ride and was hugely overlooked and condescended just because she was going out with Damon.

 

[Teeeee]

Okay.

Other possibilities -

Breeders - Pod
Throwing Muses - but would GNGO choose House Tornado?
CSS - Cansei De Ser Sexy (2006 though)
The Slits - Cut (Budgie on drums). But I think the Slits get a lot of due.

 

[Teeeee]

Justine she was going out with Damon.

I didn't know that! I always wondered why they were so overlooked.

 

[Mr Moore]

Pre 2000 or post 2009?

 

[Joe Mac]

I didn't know that! I always wondered why they were so overlooked.

yeah for most of the 90s. A lot of blur’s gloomiest album, 13, was Damon doing a bit of wallowing in self pity after they split up!

Because of the relationship, the fact that he did a bit of work on the album and, of course, good old fashioned sexism there were a lot of ridiculous rumours being spread in the English music press that this was one of his great side projects and that he had secretly written all the songs and that his girlfriend was just a front. It wasn’t very nice.

 

[geporter]

I will now accept a question from a ghost.

[bfly]
