All Whale-related posts should be required by ILM mandate to include a pic of the singer.

oddly enough, their cd was a big hit on the Mars Bar jukebox in its day (NYC ref)

― xexxee, Thursday, 1 July 2004 15:27 (twenty years ago)

Great single. The album that followed it....not so much.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 1 July 2004 19:18 (twenty years ago)

I feel like there were other good things on that record, though I might just be imagining this. Tricky produced a lot of it, no? And wrote some bits, too?

― nabiscothingy, Thursday, 1 July 2004 20:25 (twenty years ago)

I like a few other songs, especially the last one, something to do with cold?

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 20:28 (twenty years ago)

I also had the album after this, the one with Mos Def on it.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 20:29 (twenty years ago)

everyone owned this album. I'm not sure why. I think because it immediately got cut-out-binned and cost $1, but wasn't all that bad. I seem to have sold mine though.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 1 July 2004 20:36 (twenty years ago)

Watch out when it came on in indie discos. Shit got more crunk than when they played "Killing In the Name Of" (during which I nearly got my young head literally stomped on one fateful night in Camden).

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 20:41 (twenty years ago)

"I'll Do Ya" was better. That was class, that one.

The bird was well fit, let's face it.

braces, ooooooooh

Good question!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 1 July 2004 20:51 (twenty years ago)

GALANG

good lord what kind of discos in London were playing Rage AGainst the Machine? ohno!

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 1 July 2004 20:55 (twenty years ago)

THE CAMDEN PALACE.

Take that, Kyle's REVISIONIST view of British pop cultural history.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:00 (twenty years ago)

I am revising nothing! I was never in London in the early 90's so I know nothing about it.... I am just surprised that any club anywhere was playing Whale, and then playing Rage.

Sometimes the english get american music quite wrong, though, don't they?

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:03 (twenty years ago)

NEVER

stevem to thread!!!!!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:06 (twenty years ago)

WHERE WERE YOUR BELLE AND SEBASTIANS THEN, EH?

Shit, I forgot:

FAITH NO MORE
PULP
STEREOLAB (but only Ping Pong)

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:07 (twenty years ago)

naw, indy discos in 90s nyc were playing RAGE as well. It's a kiddie scene, so anything danceable yet "rock" would get played to get the guys on the floor. Also: Blur's song #2 woo hoo.

― xexxee, Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:07 (twenty years ago)

What an awful time to be a teenager.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:08 (twenty years ago)

ie: kroq/live105 under the worst programme directors ever.

it goes both ways, of course, Keane and Travis are viewed as some kind of godheads of english music second only to Radiohead by some americans.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:08 (twenty years ago)

The only truly "indie" disco I've ever been to was in Paris!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:08 (twenty years ago)

What horrible memories these are. Thanks a bunch.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:09 (twenty years ago)

Yes, more pictures, please

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:10 (twenty years ago)

Standing and staring HARD at people on the dancefloor as a "seduction" technique : c/d?

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:11 (twenty years ago)

(I speak of other people doing this, not ME!)

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:11 (twenty years ago)

(but GOOD friends who shall remain anonymous!)

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:11 (twenty years ago)

found the Galang mp3 pretty easy. I like it, it's crossover dancehall in the vein of Bow Wow Wow or something, but it doesn't have the requisite "shouting male chorus" nor the "fuzz guitar blast" for today's coed frat parties.

― xexxee, Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:12 (twenty years ago)

What happened to The Offspring????

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:14 (twenty years ago)

oh dear

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:16 (twenty years ago)

i heard them on the radio the other day. they live in the uncomfortable hinterland of commercial alternative radio programming which is chasing the indie trend and trying desperately to rid itself of the likes of the offspring, slipknot, and rap-metal and play nothing but franz ferdinand, but is afraid to do it too quickly lest it loose all the suburb-dwelling, tricked-out-truck driving demographic.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:19 (twenty years ago)

You know I have always wanted a tricked-out truck. And I LIKE bands like Slipknot, the Deftones, and Coal Chamber. Actually, scratch that...I like The Deftones.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:20 (twenty years ago)

Much better than Franz Ferdinand, anyway.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:21 (twenty years ago)

The Deftones would like to thank the United Kingdom for their support

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:23 (twenty years ago)

you're just saying that because you're going to sacramento tonight and don't want to get your ass beat down, you skinny english punk!

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 1 July 2004 21:24 (twenty years ago)

Watch, in five years, all those bands will be on VH1 cursing out all those tight-pant hipsters for ruining 'burb-core, like grunge on metal.

"Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe" v. "99 Problems"

You know you want it

― MC Frosty Flake, Friday, 2 July 2004 00:20 (twenty years ago)

"the dude with the best nads gets his armpit licked"

"Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe" v. "99 Problems"

That would work, actually.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 2 July 2004 00:23 (twenty years ago)

whoever said stereolab (only ping pong) is talking cod.
they played 'french disko', sometimes.

― piscesboy, Friday, 2 July 2004 08:20 (twenty years ago)

two months pass...

i want to hear the 99 problems mashup, has anyone actually made this or is it just fantasy? still, i doubt it could beat the original. i turned it up so fucking loud today. hobo humpin ' slobo babe! just saying the name of the song, knowing there are people out there who came up with a song called this, that sounds like this, makes me think the world's actually going to be okay.

― You've Got to Pick Up Every Stitch (tracerhand), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 00:18 (twenty years ago)

and the crazy this is that i am 100% sincere. i can't describe how good this song makes me feel.

― You've Got to Pick Up Every Stitch (tracerhand), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 00:34 (twenty years ago)

I loved that ep with their cover of "Darling Nikki" on it. They were ahead of their time.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 00:34 (twenty years ago)

what's so crazy about it? it's a great song.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 00:35 (twenty years ago)

That's true!

― You've Got to Pick Up Every Stitch (tracerhand), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 02:44 (twenty years ago)

one year passes...

eleven years pass...

I'm trying to figure out if HHSB is an interpolation of "shoot to kill" by Mad Lion, they both came out in 1993
