Dirty Pretty Things!

Am I a fan: I like their music, but I can’t say I ever want them to reform for any length of time, sorry lol

First song I heard: Bang Bang You’re Dead, which was on the radio alllll the time in 2006! 

Favorite member: There’s other members? Carl~~

Favorite song: Truth Begins or B.U.R.M.A

Have I been to a concert: No, but I have seen Carl play some DPT songs with his pals in a shopping centre on a Hull council estate lol which is one of my favourite gigs I’ve ever been to just cos of the randomness. And I’m so grateful I got to see songs performed I never thought I’d get to see live! 

Thank you! 

The Monkees!

Am I a fan: Oh yes!

First song I heard: Probably Daydream Believer or I’m a Believer

Favorite member: Hmm in the show, probably Peter, in real life probably Micky

Favorite song: I’m Not Your Steppin’ Stone or All of Your Toys

Have I been to a concert: Yes! I saw them twice in 2011 on the 45th anniversary tour with Peter, Micky and Davy. The first show was what made me a proper-proper fan, and that whole summer was me immersing myself in the show and the music and Tumblr fandom. A great time!

Thank you!

Oasis

Am I a fan: Yes, and I really was when I was a teenager, though in some ways it’s hard for me to really feel how much of a fan I was, because Oasis really aren’t a ~fannish band in the same way that, for example, the Manics are/were. But I was had an idea for a kind of fanfic and everything! Even before I knew fanfic was a thing!

First song I heard: I really have no idea! Probably something like Rock n Roll Star or Cigarettes and Alcohol – I’m fairly certain it wasn’t Wonderwall.

Favorite member: Noel!

Favorite song: Don’t Look Back in Anger. I remember that Top of the Pops performance so vividly!

Have I been to a concert: No, but I saw Noel and his High Flying Birds in May with @jessinthesky, which was great – he’s a much better frontman than he ever got credit for!

Thanks!

I won’t be selfish and say… Manics

Haha you can probably ask some more cos I don’t know if anyone else will! 

Am I a fan: Yes, tho I was mainly a fan in my teens – I got into them in 1996 but cos I wanted to be cool I got into their back catalogue more than their new album, haha. Have loads of nostalgia for those first four albums still!

First song I heard: Probably A Design For Life

Favorite member: I think they’re all pretty good guys but I always liked Sean because he was super quiet and reclusive (and cute), lol

Favorite song: Probably still Motorcycle Emptiness. Who can resist that riff?? 

Have I been to a concert: I have! I saw them in Leeds in 2016, when they were touring the 20th anniversary of Everything Must Go. They were so warm to the audience, I’m really happy they’ve somehow achieved this unlikely venerable status!

Thanks!
