Steve S @ruislipr.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Finally for now - Reel 2 Real... How come I hadn't heard this? CHOOOOOON! I reckon just before Basement Jaxx sat down to write "Do your thing" they listened to this and thought "Let's do that!". On first listen I was singing along within a minute. Def passed the 'Whistle Test" for this "Old Grey" 000
Steve S @ruislipr.bsky.social · 03/07/2026However, Tattva... I bought the album and liked it. Think I had some idea Kula Shaker were mystical and therefore cool. I soon realised my error and I flogged the disc on Music Magpie sometime after. As someone once said (😉) "arsewater of the highest order. Preposterous, supercilious drek 100
Steve S @ruislipr.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I bought Ash's Oh Yeah and it is absolutely defines the period for me. Youth, excitement, new possibilities, diffidence and vulnerability. The production on this track is imperious yet beautiful. Made a big impression on this 22 year old in the smoke. 110
Steve S @ruislipr.bsky.social · 03/07/2026@chartlifepod.bsky.social Arguably your best ever episode given the quality of the music, commentary and fun/banter. This summer in 96 evokes lots of special memories for me. First full summer after graduation, first car, first grad job, being in London. This chart is so evocative for me. 320
Steve S @ruislipr.bsky.social · 23/06/2026@chartlifepod.bsky.social i hope Ed's in a better mood for this week's edition - he was in a right old mard last week, especially about Crowded House! 😂 110

Steve S @ruislipr.bsky.social · 25/03/2026@chartlifepod.bsky.social Did Juliet use the word "elegiac" on this week's pod? And did she use the US pronunciation? Was it a deliberate error designed to catch us out? We should be told 😆 011

Steve S @ruislipr.bsky.social · 19/02/2026...very badly. Hindsight leaves that album judged fairly badly. But at least the invention and 'breath of fresh air' of the album that followed brought much redemption. Charmless Man is a stinker in retrospect too...

Steve S @ruislipr.bsky.social · 19/02/2026@chartlifepod.bsky.social Listened to your comments on Blur's Stereotypes with a sigh, although found it impossible to disagree. I loved it at the time. I'd fully drank the Blur Kool Aid, had been at the Mile End gig in summer 95 and thought they could do no wrong. But the faux swagger has aged... 111

Steve S @ruislipr.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Yeah and I'd agree on that too. I guess Dagenham Dave hasn't aged well but was consistent with his schtick at the time. And Boy Racer, never a single. Keep up the great work - love the pod. 😊 000
Steve S @ruislipr.bsky.social · 04/12/2025@chartlifepod.bsky.social I know Mozzer is problematic for so many reasons, and richly deserves the kicking you guys have given him for recent releases. But I really liked Southpaw Grammar at the time. "Do your best and don't worry" is a banger with an anthemic coda - a soundtrack to my early 20s. 210
