i thought i might roll out one a week or so for an interminable period of time until people are no longer sure whether i haven't already polled this shit a couple of months ago already

Noodle Vape (Noodle Vague), Friday, 27 November 2015 19:26 (ten years ago)

then probably do a few "best of the best" jobs

Noodle Vape (Noodle Vague), Friday, 27 November 2015 19:27 (ten years ago)

ballot poll!!!

sarahell, Friday, 27 November 2015 19:31 (ten years ago)

technically if i'm polling his interviews i don't have to wait in the queue

Stopping occasionally for a chat with the crowd and a bit of banter, he oozed that same confidence and charisma which made him such an unforgettable frontman with Supergrass.

But the cheeky antics have been replaced with a more self-assured confidence resulting in songs that are carefully crafted and leave you not knowing what to expect next.

Among the new songs that stood out for me the most were Buffalo which was over far too quickly and left me wanting to hear more, and 20/20 with its powerful delivery. Adding a bit of Nineties nostalgia to the evening, Gaz also treated fans to a rendition of Moving and bringing a perfect end to the night was Caught By the Fuzz.

Has it left me hoping for a Supergrass reunion? Not in the slightest, because I’m looking forward to seeing what more unexpected musical surprises Gaz can deliver all by his lonesome.

I don’t really look back, but when I do, I suppose I realise it’s been a pretty insane journey.

"My sense of humour is the same, and the most ridiculous things tickle me."

Maybe we could have a poll of the most ridiculous things to tickle gaz coombes with?

Those whose knowledge of Gaz Coombes stretches little further than his days as the entertaining and energetic frontman of Supergrass are missing out.

"I think Britpop was a bit overblown; it was only a handful of really decent bands."

Whoah Gaz! Save the searing iconoclast stuff for the pub table, that is too much!

xelab, Friday, 27 November 2015 22:02 (ten years ago)

that's ok, Gaz didn't say that, it was actually Hitler

sarahell, Friday, 27 November 2015 22:26 (ten years ago)

I think Hitlerpop was a bit overblown

Noodle Vape (Noodle Vague), Friday, 27 November 2015 22:41 (ten years ago)

If you are planning a thousand year reich it probably helps to have people that still look 12 when they are actually knocking on 40.

xelab, Friday, 27 November 2015 23:19 (ten years ago)

I hope ALL are welcome to participate whether you are in to Gaz or not

The musical styles and their particular inspirations for the songs on this album were extremely diverse. For example, there is the cheerful, fast, keyboard-augmented "I'd Like To Know", the guitar-driven punk narrative "Caught by the Fuzz", the mainly piano-based rhythm of the teen anthem "Alright", and the country music-influenced acoustic guitar in "Time to Go". Even in the varied genre of Britpop, I Should Coco was seen as eclectic.

HITLER: Well, yeah.
