Liam Gallaghers 'Pretty Green Clothing'

Well to be honest I'm suprised this day hasn't come sooner than it has. Liam Gallagher has started his own clothing range called 'Pretty Green'. Most likely taken from The Jam tune. He says "Clothes and music are my passion. I'm not here to rip anyone off and I'm not doing it for the money either. I'm doing it cuz there's a lack of stuff out there of the things I would wear". I'm really not lookin forward to the amount of cheesy wankers, ranting on about this when it comes out and starts getting alot more publicity. I for one will definitely not be wearing any of it, however I'm sure a number of people in my 'friendship group' will be. Seriously, being a 'top music artist' and releasing your own clothing range, spells sell out. I think he needs to put his feet up at call it a day. You can even email the big dog himself and ask him a question about fashion via the website www.prettygreen.com.

Cocker

Saw this interview on culturecritic.co.uk. Nice little interview with Jarvis Cocker, talking about Sheffield, Paris and Song writing. Haven't heard much from the old cock-cock lately, and it's a pretty interesting chingwag. Also found this series called 'songbook' revealing the secrets and stories behind some of my favourite tunes. Each song discussed is played on acoustic by Jarvis, everyone sounding lovely jubbly. You can watch part 1 above, and there's another 8 to watch you can find on youtube. Seriously though...look how little views they've got, what are all you fanatic pulp fans doing?

Best. Comic. Ever.

This common people comic book, was a promo item which was included with some of the singles released in 1995. I want it. Apparntly you can get it on some record shop website for around £20. It did give me a bit of a 'lol' when i first read it. The characters look similar to 'gorillaz' characters. Cant find anything that tells you that though.
Page 7 = Same as page 3, Page 8 Same as page 4.

You and I are gonna...

This documentary clearly reigns as the queen of them all. It goes right from the start of the brit pop era, with plenty of interviews with all the 'britpop superstars'. Most importantly it gives you an insight to what a complete cock Damon Alban really is. I recommend the alcohol route when watching it, as it helps to shout and slur and the TV screen, aswell as the annoying indie kid your sitting next to. Unfortunatley it was removed from youtube, but there are a few torrents about that arent too slow.

Pulp - Freaks (1987)

This is Pulp's second album released in 1987. I never really listend to their old stuff until the last couple of months, since ive become a pulp finatic. Its a fucking good album, the lyrics on all of the tracks are quite deep (oh edgy jarvis). The tune you'll probably know off the album is 'Anoreix Beauty' which is fucking quality. My personal favorite is 'Fairground' purley because its weird as and when you listen to it, it puts quite a mental image in your head. Click the link above to download it.
