Cinerama--This Is Cinerama
I never really got into The Wedding Present, but David Gedge's next band Cinerama was just overflowing with the lush, indiepop that was my particular fin-de-siecle fix back then.
Anyway, this is a collection of their first couple vinyl singles that were only bought by pretentious hipsters and me.
Model Spy with what looks like footage from 8 1/2 (???)
I just added a new song for an upcoming adventure to my site.
The new song is called the Caves of Chaos. If you listen to it from start to finish it tells a story, it grows on you!
Enjoy!
In service,

On top of the monster title track, there is
and while their cover of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles can't compare, their rendition of Funkadelic's "I'll Bet You" is pretty bad ass.

My favorite Australian punks.
The Raconteurs--Consolers of the Lonely
I'm pretty sure that The White Stripes are the last band that I am going to have followed from the grassroots up to superstardom. It sucks being a fat, old ex-hipster. :(
Anyway, I like this album. It kind of cuts the LZ/punk stomp of The White Stripes with little Macca/Wings-like 70s rock touches.
Not on this one, though. Salute Your Solution
This one adds Fairport-like fiddling. Old Enough
And, of course, they ditched the LZ comparisons by...covering the guy who turned down the chance to be Robert Plant! Rich Kid Blues
