In this series of posts, 'A life in sound', I will be documenting my life so far through an exploration of the music that defines me. Or something. Basically, I like these songs and some of them have memories stuck to the side like old gum.
The above is a song from the album "Spiders" by Space.
As far as I remember this is the second album i owned on CD, saying that, my memory is about as reliable as car made of jam.
As you can see, space were an unusual looking bunch. The lead singer looks like he spends the majority of his time feeding change into a fruit machine and I am not entirely sure their keyboard player isn't a 14 year old boy.
I think that space were one of the first English bands I was exposed to who didn't rid themselves of their regional accents which... Wait, hang on; Do they have 'The Sherminator' playing guitar?
Interesting fact, In the year of 1996 when this was filmed, all music videos were required by law to be filmed in petrol stations after a massive but short lived sponsorship deal between 'Shell' and MTV.
All in all, Spiders is a great album; it is surreal, sad, extroverted, silly and altogether very very odd.
It reminds me of a time when I had to buy my CD's from woolworths at the same time as avoiding the sweet aisle pedo, Gary. I wonder how Gary is doing?
NABOO. That's it. The lead singer looks like Naboo.
