last monday (jan 3) i recieved the 4 dvd's i purchased from amazon.com. these were live concert dvd from shed seven, another live dvd from the inspiral carpets, pulp (the UK band, not the stupid lokal music zine) video singles and the verve's singles video compilation... among the 4 dvd's, the inspiral carpets' really got my attention. not that the others were crap, in fact panalo lahat lalu na yung shed seven at pulp. the inspiral carpets dvd was actually taken from one date off their reunion tour sometime 2003... first thing i noticed was that they've all aged a lot especially the singer tom hingley. it was like watching the new order dvd but the carpets did things with the right amount of tightness, grace and intensity... the stage backdrop was truly stunning with two widescreens constantly displaying the lengendary "cool as fuck" slogan/logo that the inspirals made famous and the cowhead "moo" logo that they use for their shirt. there were also some aninations showed during songs one such was during the song "this it how it feels" wherein the main character looks like me... the songs are still as fresh as ever. the crowd really had a great time and it was trully a jampacked venue filled with surprisingly a larger young audience singing along to almost all of the songs. those brits really know their music. i think that's the reason why there are so many great bands out there -- because the crowd's great... yun lang...
by the way, the inspiral carpets was one of the bands that lead the early nineties manchester acid house movement (later was to be popularly know at the britpop movement) along with the likes of the stone roses, happy mondays and the charlatans. the were formed in 1985 and disbanded sometine in 1995... they were one of John Peel's favourite bands along with the fall and the wedding present... present guitarist for the charlatans, "Mark Collins" once roadied for the carpets. noel gallager of oasis was the carpets, van driver...
