Ian Gittins interviews The Happy Mondays, 28th November 1987
March 14, 2010
Very early interview with the Mondays. Oh how the time has simply *flown* by. Don’t believe me? Well compare and contrast the above with this recent gem.

Ian Gittins interviews The Wedding Present, 22nd April 1989

Things can only get better Gordon – especially after this truly low, LOW point from former GMTV presenter Fiona Phillips. She digs herself a hole and just keeps on diggin’. Can you watch to the end?
Ian Gittins reviews Shed Seven’s Change Giver and Sharon O’Connell reviews Portishead’s Dummy, 3rd September 1994.
You know I think there’s a Shed Seven song I quite like. It soundtracked a summer holiday job picking tomatoes and I vaguely remember them performing it on TOTP.
Ahh yes…thanks Spotify; it was Where Have You Been Tonight
[Hangs head in shame]
Ian Gittins profiles The Cranberries in Sidelines, 20th July 1991
November 10, 2008
I’ve never understood the retrospective cringe factor expressed by many of the writers about their past work appearing on this site up to now. I’ve never tried to intentionally embarrass any of the writers. But this…this is embarrassing. Ian – I’m really, really sorry but it’s too good not to post.
The Cure live at Wembley Arena, 19-26 December 1987
October 17, 2008
With a new Cure album (and tour?) in the pipeline this seems topical. It’s a pretty funny review as it goes. Amazing to think that more than 20 years ago The Cure were playing a 3 night residency at Wembley arena.
Never been a massive fan myself but they’ve released some absolutely killer singles time, and time again, so good luck to Bob and whoever else makes up The Cure these days.
But really, it doesn’t matter what I think, or indeed what you think. No, what matters is what Ms Dayglo thinks. She doesn’t add people willy nilly y’know and it’s that bitchin’ punk attitude of hers that just takes my breath away.
