They got less stick than Menswear and were definitely ata similar level.<BR/><BR/>I remember the best description I ever heard being that everytime a Sleeper song starts you think: "That's really good", until the moment Louise starts singing. The second best was 'Lloyd Cole for the 90's'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-184249811630919782008-08-02T16:35:00.000+00:002008-08-02T16:35:00.000+00:00@Olive:I think you're spot-on with the Miki from L...@Olive:<BR/>I think you're spot-on with the Miki from Lush observation - she did have an 'honorary bloke' status; curiously, Justine Frischmann seemed to get away with it, though.<BR/><BR/>@richard fruit-bat:<BR/>You're right, you know - I had totally forgotten the third album.

Jon Stewart wound up doing session work for KD Lang, which is a handy item to fling on your CD</I><BR/><BR/>I assume you mean 'CV'. <BR/>Interesting comment about Wener being a bit confusing for the indie kids- Sonja Madden from Echobelly had similar problems; I remember one letter in MM describing her as a 'ninja bitch' for having the temerity to throw some shapes in a pair of combat trousers for a photo shoot. Round about this time, of course, Lush gave up on their swirling, shimmering pop and decided to become Sleeper-lite, but Emma and (particularly) Miki were regarded as honorary blokes and avoided the disrespect meted out to Louise and Sonja.Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104724375635557366noreply@blogger.com
