World's Fair

Everyone’s other favorite British post-punk band, the 1990s, is currently featured on the new commercial for AT&T’s Walkman phone.

No Walkman commercial can really compete with this classic, it’s true, the 1990s’ “You’re Supposed To Be My Friend” is a close runner-up. Check it out for yourself.

“You’re Supposed To Be My Friend” is off the band’s full-length Cookies, which came out in 2007 via Rough Trade.

#36 = 1990s – “Situation”
“These debauched Scots worship everything sleazy and glorious about 1970s New York punk. Their finest moment proves they can play as fast as they can drink.” – Rolling Stone

… and “Cookies” ranked #23 on Rolling Stone’s Best Albums list. Not published yet on their website but hey monkey read monkey type!

Meanwhile, over at MTV’s Subterranean – all you 1990s fans congratulate yourselves as “See You At The Lights” wins the #6 spot on their Best of 2007 countdown!

And even though 1990s have left us in America to head back home, they still left us with “Cookies” which we like to think is definitely a highlight of rock & roll for 2007, and a recent johnny-come-lately review by our friends at Harp Magazine seems to confirm that we’re all enjoying ourselves!

“We’re talking huge hooks, riffs that just won?t quit and choruses catchier than a rabid spider monkey on crack. We?re talking British Glam Rock at its most moronic with a healthy dash of ?70s NYC attitude in the shape of the New York Dolls, the Ramones, Jonathan Richman and Lou Reed at his camp best. If this fails to elicit at the very least a wry grin of recognition, then you, my friend, are quite possibly dead. It?s all been done before of course, but it?s played with such flash and pizzazz, with such unfettered glee that, ultimately, resistance is futile…” – Harp Magazine

The biggies were representin’ at CMJ this year!

“The pint-size punk kids — along with the hulking grown-up presence of ex-Jon Spencer drummer Russell Simins — have been building their profile here in New York now for most of this year, thanks in no small part to high-profile collaborations with Karen O, Kimya Dawson and Fred Schneider; opening slots for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs; plus a glowing endorsement from David Bowie. And I gotta say they do seem to be a lot more comfortable up there than when I first saw them live 10 months ago… While Ivan is still something of a shoegazer, and Ada strikes a punk nonchalance that borders on the disinterested, it all works, somehow, and the kids’ rudimentary rock has a refreshing realness. They tore through their mostly two-minute-long tunes that cover topics from lame friends to general ruckus-raising to politics. Oh yeah, politics. Ada introduced the song “Bushy” thusly: “We wrote this about President Bush and how we don’t like him.” And when I talked with the kids earlier in the day, Ada told me she came up with “Bushy” three years ago, when she was 8. Eight. Years. Old.” – John Norris, MTV News [READ MORE]

Plus, re: 1990s, John had this to say – “There were songs about getting high (”Weed”), getting busy (”You Made Me Like It”) and underage girls (”Arcade Precinct”), but more than anything, a good time. There’s a place for think bands, but not at the expense of party bands. As one dude down front turned to me and said, “This is what we need more of. Just real rock and roll. Whatever happened to that? Give me more of these guys and the Hold Steady.” Last night, it seemed most of Bowery Ballroom agreed.” – MTV News [READ MORE]

Meanwhile, Rolling Stone thumbs up 1990s and Pela, but have yet to get googly for Tiny Masters and British Sea Power – let em know whats hip!
