"king of the kerb" - echobelly

'"sugar smile savvy"

nothing was quite as era-encapsulating of the whole britpop thing as the shine compilations. anyone with a full set has an amazing assortment of huge hits, indie gems and forgotten classics. whoever it was at polygram picking the tracks did a fine job. anyone planning an indie-disco could get by with just a few of them - as long as they were discrete and prepared not to do many requests.

i'm pretty certain this song was on shine 3 which is probably one of the best ones. i must have heard it dozens of times before i worked out what the lyrics were she was singing and i think i liked the song less once i knew what it was about, but you've gotta admit it's catchy
