THAT TIME WHEN CATCHY INDIE-POP WENT ANNOYINGLY MAINSTREAM

This came up on random play the other day. It was probably my first listen to it in at least a decade. I got really sick of it back in back in 2001 when, after it had featured as a relatively unknown song in an advert promoting a mobile phone company, it was everywhere in the UK, reaching #5 in the singles chart and never off the radio or video channels, even though the promo had to be edited with pixelation to cover full-frontal male nudity and a topless female.

mp3 : The Dandy Warhols – Bohemian Like You

Putting aside that it became so annoying to hear it so often, there’s no denying it’s a decent bit of indie-pop.

Here’s the only CD single by The Dandy Warhols that I have in my collection. A chart hit from 1998 that I still enjoy listening to:-

mp3 : The Dandy Warhols – Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth

Not sure where the rest of you stand but this probably the only time I’ll feature them on the pages of the blog.
