Something for the Weekend

Perhaps not to everyone's musical taste - but the video is pure genius in the style of Quadrophenia / Human Traffic / 24 hour Party People etc....You only get videos like this once in a blue moon.

Caution: Very "gritty".

Split into 2 (as the total vid is 17 mins!)

Part 1
Part 2

The band came to nothing - but this mini film / music "video" is pretty special and one of the best songs/vids to sum up the hedonistic age of the early 1990's. Ironically - anti Drugs!!

The vid is pretty rare these days to buy - If you go onto one of the auction sites you'll probably find a bidding war going on for a copy


...The "weekenders" it depicts are still around today - more alcohol than ecstacy binging perhaps??...

Re: Something for the Weekend

fantastic stuff jed, what a welcome blast from the past reminds me of when i first left home and moved to manchester in 1989at the perfect time to ride the "madchester" wave before it became a bit more widespread. flowered up were ok but a bit of a poor-man's-happy-mondays (london interpretation) if y'ask me but who cares, i'm trawling limewire as we speak for a bit of northside & charlatans whilst i'm doing that i've got some guy called gerald on in the background

Shame - although you could still do the refund/1 week thingy.

I pay $9.99 per month for 20Gb (more than enough in a month unless your downloading films all day!)

Re: Something for the Weekend

Have to agree with the Easynews recommendation, I use it all the time as it's more reliable than P2P. They let you carry over your allowance if you don't use the full 20Gb, think I've got about 150Gb available now!

Shame you missed the mighty The Chameleons (here's an early appearance - no fancy vid I'm afraid )

Nice little site Mr BF.
As you say - it undercuts the more "popular" providers by a fair bit.

Thanks for the tip
