1Since the embedding was disabled for "Manchester", I substituted it with the video to "You keep it all in", from 1989, about 18 years before I ever heard of The Beautiful South. Back in '89, I was listening to Sonic Temple on my Walkman. Update: Now substituted with a concert video of the same song from 1997, preceded by a few seconds of interviews, since YouTube took down the original video.
2Hat tip to Cheryl for introducing me to this since-disbanded Brit-pop group. We saw them live once at Irving Plaza in New York, shortly before the band broke up.
Thanks for this post.
ReplyDeleteThe Beautiful South is undeniably the best band that ever came out of Hull and it is my favorite band ever.
They're one Hull of a band.
ReplyDeleteI don't know of any other bands that came out of Hull, so I can't say how TBS compares with the rest. I can say that puns are the lowest form of humor.
