Is there a bit with women in bras?

I went to see the White Room with a girl I fancied who was friends Dubstar. We went back to the band's hotel afterwards and ended up sleeping in the drummer's bedroom with all our clothes on. She was a little put out when I wanted to get the tube home the next day, not a taxi. Never did get off with her.

More bass, vicar?
Don't think so, it jumps straight from Boy's Toys to Breadbins.
And yes, I did check under Boy's Toys. It's just all skateboards and that, ie rubbish.
So no, is the short answer.
sounds like placebo

I don't have any more Dubstar stories, but the one I have is suitably bland, inoffensive and forgettable.

Seriously.
I liked their first LP, well, the first track "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" and "Nothing Can Stop Us" were sublime, but I expected much more from them, and they were disappointing.
By the time I saw them live I'd already lost interest and she murdered any fond memory I had of their early output in one foul set. Sadly.
I hugged her once though, friend of a friend and all that, she has cross eyes, but in a sexy way, you don't quite know what she's looking at when she's up close and personal.
We talked about Springfield in Chelmsford. She knows about that place.
Nice people, come to think of it (and I do) that there St Etienne band, even if Wiggy is a bit of a cock, they made the effort and that's more than most people will ever hope to achieve, so fair play to them.
Had a good night in Shoreditch town with them and then in Lille, in France, where they were headlining with Pulp of all people as the support band, way back in 93, and she remembered me.
I last saw her on the Northern Line at about 6am in the weeks just after the Millenium, and I was wrecked so I didn't want to embarass her or myself, so I swapped glances and I did that drunken salute thing as the doors opened, and she smiled.
That'll do me, I thought. Better than making a complete mess of myself.
I staggered out into the sour metallic funk of Old Street station, with a pleasant set of memories and a spring in my step...

I remember those songs but I didn't know who they were by
thanks
Ironically - track 11 of the superb Mulu LP - "Smiles Like A Shark" - is actually called "Is It Me?".
I kid you not!

And she sings "isitme" over and again at the end of the track.
Of course, it's pretty much impossible to get hold of this album any more, so if I can be arsed I will upload it for you.
Unless this eBay bid is legit -

Not to contravene copyright, but to encourage those poor suckers who liked Dubstar to listen to some decent female fronted alt-funk without going so far as to get into drinking alcohol and listening to Curve.
I reckon I'll upload "Is It Me" on MP3 for you, seeing as it is your official soundtrack.
But I'm off to sunny Rome in the morning, so it might have to wait a few days like...
