#SUPERGRASS is 10

[savage-kult-of-gorthaur]

ONE OF THOSE ALBUM COVERS THAT IMMEDIATELY CAUGHT MY EYE -- I WAS A BUTTON/BADGE FREAK IN HIGH SCHOOL.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on "Supergrass Is 10: The Best of 1994-2004," a compilation album celebrating the first 10 years of the English indie/Britpop/alternative rock band SUPERGRASS. The compilation was released on CD, DVD and double 10" clear vinyl record in June (UK) and September (US), 2004.

COMPILATION OVERVIEW: "Since they had a lower profile than their peers and came across as a bunch of mates instead of serious musicians, SUPERGRASS tended to be the most overlooked of all the major Britpop bands. They never defined the culture like OASIS or BLUR, never had a following of serious-minded, clever misfits like PULP, they weren't as sexy as ELASTICA, and they surely lacked the grandiose, doomed romanticism of SUEDE. What they were, though, was a bloody brilliant pop band.

Their 1995 debut, "I Should Coco," kicked harder than any record that year, and it had a bigger stylistic sprawl than any album this side of "The Great Escape," which it trumped with a deliriously infectious enthusiasm -- and it was all the more impressive when the fact that Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey were still in their teens when they cut the album.

They matured at a rapid rate, refining their musicality with each of their next three records, but they never had center stage again like they did with "I Should Coco." As they worked outside of the spotlight, they developed into a remarkably consistent singles band, as the generous 24-track 2004 collection "Supergrass Is 10: The Best of 94-04" proves. Even their muddled eponymous third album sounds brilliant when distilled to the sweetly gorgeous "Moving" and the ridiculously intoxicating "Pumping on Your Stereo."

These tunes are thrown together in a nonchronological order that contains all the A-sides apart from the U.S. radio single "Cheapskate" and the movie soundtrack selection "We Still Need More (Than Anyone Can Give)."

Instead of being infuriating, this nonchronological sequencing reveals just how consistent SUPERGRASS had been over the decade, since it forces the listener to concentrate on each individual song. Like Green Day's hits compilation "International Superhits!," "Supergrass Is 10" is a revelation for anybody who hasn't been paying attention, since it showcases a band that is one of best, most satisfying guitar pop groups of the last 15 years. If you haven't checked them out before, you need to get this immediately."

Supergrass Is 10: The Best of 1994-2004 CD

[bluegrass-hippie-tomboy]

It seems like all of the chapter titles for once in a lifetime are referencing various songs I'm wondering if you have a list anywhere of what songs they all come from? I've been able to figure out handful but that's it

1. Beach Bunny - Prom Queen

2. Army Navy - Right Back To Where We Started From (I goofed on this one)

3. Steve Winwood - Valerie (or the cover by Ra Ra Riot, if you prefer)

4. Susanna Hoffs - We Close Our Eyes

5. Kim Wilde - Kids in America

6. Grace Petrie - Black Tie

7. Supergrass - Alright

8. Bikini Kill - Rebel Girl

9. Wang Chung - Fire in the Twilight

10. The Dollyrots - My Best Friend's Hot

11. Hayashibara Megumi - Dream Balloons

12. Kim Wilde - Kids in America

13. Jimmy Eat World - The Middle

14. Supergrass - Alright

15. Joy Division - Disorder

16. The Smiths - This Charming Man

17. Jimmy Eat World - The Middle

18. ...forgot to write this one down, I don't actually remember...

19. Tom Lehrer - Poisoning Pigeons In the Park

20. The Doors - Take It as It Comes

21. Supergrass - Alright

22. Blondie - Dreaming

The repeats aren't necessarily because of any extra relevance to the story, they just had fitting lyrics (I have a long list).

Although I hadn't noticed the Supergrass ones were exactly every seven chapters, that's interesting.

26 & 27 for the writer asks!

senford!!! hiiii thanks for the ask mwah

26. Is there a specific scene or scenario you’re looking forward to most? (No, you don’t have to give away spoilers!)

Ahhh there are so many scenes/scenarios I want to write right now! There's one scene in my ronance hs reunion I'm really looking forward to which has the spiritual feel of alright by supergrass. And I'm finally going to get around to High Metabolism this spring, which is essentially: Steve accidentally eats like 10 pot brownies and gets way too high, Eddie has an emotional breakthrough, and Argyle takes them all out for In-n-Out.

27. Are there certain types of writing you won’t do? (style, pov, genre, tropes, etc)

Not sure tbh. I'm still pretty new to writing fanfic (first fandom I've been writing for) and experimenting with stuff as I go along. It's good practice, trying new pov's and genres, going with what suits the story and character best even if it's new to me. I guess I'll say that if I ever finish cyswyd (smut fic) it will also likely be the last time I ever do one of those cause it's so HARD (pun not intended, but enjoyed). Oh and you'll probably never catch me writing angsty exes. Like, I get it and I've seen it done well, but that is an emotional minefield I can't handle.
