Then we proceeded to drink a crate of 24 Carlsberg between us and fell asleep watching Shaun Of The Dead.

This was pretty much my weekends right up to about a year ago. Especially Cast and Shaun of the Dead. The quote "Alright, G
ay" just reminds me of awesome times...
This was the first album that really made me sit up and pay attention to music. I was only 10 and my older sister was playing it and I actually fell in love! Being 10 years old, this was a lot different to the stuff I was hearing and I just loved the originality of her music and her unique 'marmite' voice (it's generally true, you love it or hate it)... That was an important time for me cos in the next couple of years my friends were arguing over Take That and East 17 whilst I was listening to Blur, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Pixies, Rancid, Fugazi, The Levellers, Suede, Tori Amos, Pearl jam... anything I could get my hands on really.
Bjork - Debut
The one album that takes me back and can cheer me up even now is...
Not a particuarly good album by not a particuarly good band (although I do have much love for them) but it reminds me of summer '96. I was 13, going away on holiday with my friends family, spent most of my holidays on Bournemouth beach, got my first 'proper' boyfriend... Good times. It seems to come to the rescue without me even thinking about it. At the start of the year I lost a baby, was in and out of hospital, things weren't good with my partner, I lost my job, it was all going to **** and I remember sitting in my room crying (self pity was rather a strong point for me then) and 'The Circle' randomly came on followed by 'Policemen and Pirates' and it was the first thing that made me smile in about 4 weeks. Ocean Colour Scene = Good times indeed
