why can't they amke a trashy noise?
i fucking hate classism in music. i don't think elastica ever pretended to be anything they weren't. not like that mockney twat albarn.

that's rock n roll.
who fucking cares about musicians' backgrounds anyway? they either make good music or they don't, I don't give a shit about their upbringing.

It was never really a secret that Justine was from a very well off background though was it?
I read the NME and MM every week then and her history was well known. She never tried to be anything else either, I can't remember her trying to pass herself off as working class.

So your bitterness is based entirely on the fact that one of them went to a posh school and they were more successful than some other bands?northernhord said:How can public school educated daughters of famous architects be trashy, strikes me as they were spoiled brats who the press loved cos they were in with the in crowd at the right time Justine was with Albarn from Blur at the time, no duobt he helped them out, at the same time in Manchester there were some fuckin brilliant bands who never saw the light of day cos they didnt have the 'contacts' that Elastica had
Nothing to do with the music then.

right, well, i cannae be arsed to go much further, but in a positive live review 1/04/95 it is stated how the damon connection probably helped their case, and in a positive interview 10/06/95 they are described as 'public school punk'. so *shrug* make of that what you will.

tbh, i reckon they were a lot further down than 4th.
listening to them now. not aged badly at all though. and at least it's still listenable, unlike 1994's best album, the holy bible, which requires a lot of work.
