Pulp - Mis-Shapes

I wanted to post another song of the album Different Class but this one brought back memories, mostly because it’s the opening track for the album.

I used to listen to this song on my computer back then but often forgot the CD inside. I was playing X-COM : Terror from the Deep a lot and I don’t know why but the game would play the CD as background music during missions. As you can guess, this game was about an alien invasion under the sea. It was all about strategy and mystery, so this song really clashed with the game. Every time I played I would start hearing this song and think “Oh no I forgot the CD again !” but I couldn’t remove it while I was playing (I don’t remember why. Maybe because the PC would crash ?) so I alway made a note to myself to remove the CD after I’ve finished playing. Which I never did.

Here is what this song makes me think about

The Wannadies - You and me song

Delgados - Under Canvas Under Wraps

The Delgados are a scottish band that was never really famous I guess. However they made this powerful single in 1996 that still lightens up our parties today.

Linoleum - On a Tuesday

There was a french version of this song, which made it a bit known in France back then. Even if the translation was very bad, Caroline Finch’s voice speaking French was very sexy. However, I like how her words flow more naturally when she sings in her native language.

This is still a very good song 15 years later.
