Haha, hadn’t noticed that! Brilliant!
Same but I was 12
One of the very few of my CDs my dad would tolerate being on in the car on long trips
Finishes with quite the stylish flourish too.
did MOTD generally include European tournaments or were they just trolling Arsenal? (fair enough if so)
Don’t know if it was matches that they had coverage rights for maybe?
Or if someone just edited it in for bants
Here’s a thing
If you went to see the Lightning Seeds in concert, would you expect them to play 3 Lions?
- Yes
- Not really

in that badly drawn boy sort-of-indie late 90s bedwettery that makes me feel nostalgic but shouldn’t
Never knew that. I’ll have a look.
the outro
Jollification was the one tape I had taken on holiday to Cyprus with my dad and his wife when I was 13. They hired a car and had no tapes of their own with them so we listened to that the whole holiday (on which I first discovered wine and got over my lifelong extreme fussy eating). Still got a lot of time for that album, the singles were magnificent. What followed was all shit though. Especially Sugar Coated Iceberg, hate it so much.
Big fan of this video. I love a good roundabout.
Yeah jolification I think was my first album. My big brother gave me his copy when I was about 10, as a present cos he’d left for uni and I was feeling sad about it.
Fond memories.
It is really good! It got a lovely LP & CD re-issue on Pete Paphides’ Needle Mythology record label a couple of years ago.
The Lightning Seeds weren’t quite as successful as i thought they were. Outwith ‘Three Lions’ , they only had one single which reached the Top 10 (‘You Showed Me’, a cover of a 60s hit by The Turtles). They also never had a Top 10 album, although, the Best Of did go to number 5 and went 2 x Platinum.
The first gig I ever went to. My mate won tickets off the radio so we went to see them at Newcastle City Hall supported by the Wannadies.
Great times. Still enjoy their songs whenever I hear them.
good bill.
