Elastica

I'm sure the majority of people who are into the Brit-pop scene have heard of these gals, so here is a thread!

I'm a big fan of both their albums, and in a way I prefer The Menace to the S/T debut due to the feel of it. The debut is fairly samey to me so can sort of meld into one, whilst The Menace has so many odd and quircky bits it keeps me interested.

So, any opinions?

...I should probably listen to them more than what I have. I just haven't felt like it.

If you don't have the albums I have them both uploaded to my LJ

I haven't heard The Menace, but I have their S/T, and it is pretty good. I'll have to invest in it when I have spare cash.

Waking Up has to be my favourite; I love the line "I've got a lot of songs but they're all in my head."

I loooooooooove their S/T, and their 2nd is really great. Justine sorta annoys me though, not cos she was Damon's girlfriend or anything, just because she seems really bitchy and snobby. Donna is amazing though, even if she had a terrible heroin problem, whateva whateva

I LOVE Elastica with all of my being and personally think they deserve a box of their own on this forum but there's not really enough information covering them, which is a shame. I think their influence on the Britpop scene is really underrated what with them having been there from the very beginning, Justine and Justin both being ex-members of Suede...
Yeah. I love both the albums and think they ought to reunite along with everyone else but they won't because Justine's doing other stuff now. Which is all fine, but she should go back to writing lyrics about my life.
