So I should probably explain that the model used for the banner is Marijne van der Vlugt, model/singer of Salad.
Nobody took Salad seriously because the singer was a super model and she did not write any of the songs.
I have no idea where Salad is nowadays (they broke up and I know Marijne joined another band but I can't be bothered to do the research right now).
The thing to note about "Party" is that lovely growl she does....
You're into indie and britpop? Dig it! Dig the banner, too. Thanks for the making me notice the britpop group. I just joined it - 'tis my first... Yeah, I do like how Marijne growls...

Thanks. I just recently joined vox.com.... so everything is new to me. I just posted a picture of my DVD collection - among them some good music DVDs, so maybe I will post some rare videos sometime.

Thanks for the invite guys. 1994 was a splendid year for music, and Salad's 'Drink The Elixir' was a fabulous single (might have been '95). Britpop threw up plenty of half-baked crap but there's just enough good stuff to warrant some kind of nostalgia. I think it was the phenomenon as much as the music itself that people got swept up in. Personally it felt like a second teenage (the first being circa punk). I've still got piles of old NMEs and Melody Makers from those days. I read elsewhere in this group that someone described the present day NME as the musical equivalent of the Sun. I remember when it was the musical equivalent of the Guardian, and almost as big and flappy!
