Analogue Slop

About Analogue Slop

Analogue Slop is where two music industry lifers revisit the music press of their youth, which in our case is the nineties, and for Season 1 is the NME and Melody Maker.. Every week we explore artists we discovered as wide-eyed teenagers only to disown as sneering twenty somethings. Now, unshackled from hipster baggage, we dive deep into how music and the people who make it were served up before anyone knew what an attention economy was.

   17th February 1990 - Lush, George Clinton

   In which we consider the music press's complicated relationship with its former heroes and latest discoveries, George Clinton's fall from grace and unlikely hip hop resurrection, Lush's meteoric rise, the machinery of hype and backlash, and how the weeklies could make a band's reputation before setting about destroying it.

   17th February 1990 - Primal Scream's 'Loaded', They Might Be Giants 'Flood'

   In which we consider Primal Scream’s extremely unlikely redemption arc, Andrew Weatherall before the deification, whether 2026 is the new 1996, They Might Be Giants’ unlikely major-label breakthrough, and Graham’s even more unlikely discovery that he doesn’t hate Flood.

   7th February 1998 - Ian Brown, The Brat Awards featuring The Verve, Oasis and Embrace

   In which we consider Ian Brown learning to live without John Squire, the post-Roses shared universe, Unfinished Monkey Business as musical therapy, the NME readers’ occasionally baffling verdict on 1997, and ask just how many Top 20 lists one awards ceremony really needs.
