Hey, stop that! They have already covered the US on this tour.
Then it was Japan. Now they have covered the UK, and that only
leaves the rest of Europe (ie. Sweden thank you very much, which
Tim himself promised they would be back to play at Gino in Stockholm
in _November_ 1995, when they played here at the Stockholm Water

Subject: Time 4 Livin'
I'm not sure if anyone is getting this, it seems like everyone is signing off
the list for the holidays. I was just wondering if anyone who has seen the
Charlies perform "Time 4 Livin" live can answer this question for me. Who is
playing the funky part in the middle of the song when, in the studio version,
Tim stops singing for a minute and a different drum beat program starts
playing? I can't tell if it's Martin on a base with a wah pedal, Rob on
keyboards or if it's just programmed into the song. It's after the 2nd
chorus, approximately 2 minutes into the song.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about a promo
cd called "Melting Pot"? I've seen it advertised but have
got no idea what tracks are on it. It says it's got 11
tracks, my guess is they are singles and b-sides.
Help me make up my mind :)

Hi!
I know about that CD. It's only a compilation album which contains a
couple of their hit songs, and that Chemical Risk song. I think it was 11
songs, but I can't remember right now. The cover is a black-white version
of the cover on their last album. I guess it would be cool to have it,
but there isn't anything there you haven't heard before. Mostly songs
from all their albums. If you have a www-browser, it is listed at my
Charlatans discography at http://www.ifi.uio.no/~eirikg/Charlatans.html

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the "Northern Soul" genre? Does this
have anything to do with the Verve?

greetings
the verve has something to do with it. "Northern Soul" is
music coming particularly from the Uk and are bands who are
influenced by 60's american r&b, soul music. They include
bands that come mainly from northern england, the verve
included...but they have some psychadelia included in their
sound. Any brit-pop band out now could be described as
"northern soul" because they all have r&b and soul infused
in their music.

OK, pardon MY ignorance, and I hope that some northern soulies will write in
and really set the record straight, but it's my understanding that Northern
Soul pre-dates britpop quite considerably, being in fact an outgrowth of the
'60's mod movement, developing as a branch of modernism in the north of
England and centered around popular and more obscure American soul music of
the time. (I'd give you some titles but all my Northern Soul compilations
are back in the States and I'm in Japan right now..., think Motown, and also
more obscure like Kent, etc.) So to my way of thinking the term refers first
of all to the Northern Soul scene, and secondly to the very specific tunes
which were played at 'allnighters' (I think one of the key venues was the
Wigan Casino or something like that, dunno, I might be wrong), one of the
ways the mod scene was kept alive during the seventies and eighties, becoming
an important part of the scootering scene, and through which it survived to
the present day to influence current British bands. (The line 'Keep on
keeping on' in The Stone Roses' song Daybreak is in fact reminiscent of the
motto of the Northern Soul Scene 'Keep the Faith', often seen on t-shirts,
patches, etc., next to a raised clenched fist.) Pick up any copy of
Scootering Magazine and you will find references to Northern Soul and
probably ads for events, or 'do's'. OK, relevance to The Charlatans: the
song 'Chewing Gum Weekend,' which was a term developed to describe weekends
of all night dances (can you say 'pre-rave'?), the idea being that the kids,
amped up on blues or whatever the fashionable mod drug of choice was at the
time would chew gum furiously because they had so much energy. Also, the
references to 'soul cats', etc. right? Oh yeah, and wasn't Rob Collins or
someone in The Prisoners, an eighties mod revival band? So there's no doubt
that many Britpop bands, coming as they do from the North of England, and
from mod and scooterist backgrounds, have been influenced by Northern Soul,
but I wouldn't really say that they're part of the scene, since Northern Soul
as a musical genre isn't really contemporary, and I think you'd be hard
pressed to find any dedicated followers of the scene who would stand for
britpop at an allnighter, although I have heard of some crossover events,
since there may be philosophical similarities between the scenes, if indeed
youth subcultures can be said to have philosophies. Anyway, that's what I
think, but please correct any errors or add to the above information if you
feel like it. Hope that helps, peace for now.

Okay, I'm trying to get this northern soul idea here...So is the Verve's
album a direct reference to them coming from that scene and/or a
reference to the atmosphere of that scene in general?
What other bands other than the Stone Roses and the Charlatans are
considered to be a part of it? What about Ride and others?

WOW! I was just taking a musically educated guess but never knew
the full story. I'm sorry if it was an insult to your life research.
Sorry you assumed I connected Britpop to the "northern soul" genre.
I was trying to say they were influenced and there are very apparent
connections, sound-wise, to the original movement, not specific to
the 90's bands. Do you know if there is any film documentary on the
movement specifically, since you know so much? I have seen clips
within other decade documentaries but nothing full length.

Right on... not really my life research, I just had some peripheral contact
with people who were really into it and picked up a few things. Yeah, sorry if
that last one was kind of long, I was kind of bored, plus I tend to ramble
when I get the opportunity to communicate in my native language...
Anyway, I'm not aware of any documentaries or films which cover the Northern
Soul scene (aside from something like 'Quadrophenia'), but then again I
wouldn't really know. Anyone? Depending on how burning an interest you have
in it you might want to check for info at scootering related sites on the
Web; a good place to start might be the 'Scooter Scene Web Page' which is
probably at http://153.18.60.51/ss.html . Haven't been there myself so I
don't know how helpful it will be, although I did hear that they had some
movie related info. Other sources would be phone numbers of Northern Soul
clubs which are listed in 'Scootering Magazine'. (OK, I'm not trying to be
pedantic, but we all know that by scooter we mean classic Vespas and
Lambrettas and not the more disposable Japanese plastic scooters, right?)
Right on.
OK, before I get too tangential, here's some Charlatans relevance:
On the Japanese release (oh yes! lyrics to 'Your Skies Are Mine' included!)
of 'Just When You're Thinking Things Over' there seems to be an extra b-side
called 'Nine Acre Dust' which is a Chemical Brothers remix of the first album
track 'Nine Acre Court'. It really rocks, which begs the question: is this
available elsewhere or can I feel happy and special every time I listen to
it?
Also, does anyone else think that 'Your Skies Are Mine' sounds a lot like the
Stone Roses 'Your Star Will Shine'?
New topic (I warned you I was bored): What's the weirdest song The
Charlatans have played live? Example: at the end of the live fan-club disc
'Isolation' (Chicago, I forget the date) there's a track actually called
'Between 10th and 11th' (or maybe it was just '10th and 11th', I can't
remember if it was the same as the album or not) which I've never heard
anywhere else. Anything else like that in anyone's memory or on live tapes?
Or even just different versions, like the way the first live version of
'Can't Even Be Bothered' has a really heavy piano sound, totally different
from the spacier album version.
BTW, I just got here, so sorry if you guys already covered this one. Just
trying to stir it up.
peace again...

Sorry! - Nine Acre Dust was the 4th extra track on the 12" "Just
When...." - but I agree, it's top!
Also, I too think that "Your Skies..." and "Your Star..."
sound the same, but the Roses released theirs first, right?
Wierd.......
Cheers for all that Northern Soul info - it was dead interesting.
The Verve link is definitly there if what you said about the Wigan
Casino was right, b/c they're from Wigan.....

Isn't that track also on the Charlatans vs. the Chemical Brothers CD single?

Umm... digging my brain for the knowledge... the Charlatans were going to
release that track as the first single off the second album, I read in an
interview once. But then, at the last minute, they scrapped the song
completely for some reason or another and now say it's one of the worst
songs they've ever written. I swear I read that. Don't know where, though.
_I_ think it's a great track!!!
>Or even just different versions, like the way the first live version of

I REALLY like the cute little swing piano feel that they originally gave
that song. :)
Oh, here's one for everybody... anyone got the Best of Mark Goodier Radio
One Sessions CD that came out in '92? It has an early, and WAAAAAAY
different version of "No One (Not Even the Rain)" on it. It's like a
totally different song, for the most part. Different chorus and everything.
I prefer the album version, but it's still a VERY COOL rarity.
That's about all I can contribute to the weird live stuff dialogue...
NO WAIT actually here's a question for ya: How many OTHER SONGS & PHRASES
have the Charlies sampled from in concert? They tend to be very prone to
sampling snippets of lyrics from other bands and Tim just kind of drops them
in when he wants. For instance, on their most recent tour, Tim tended to
use (and I sure can't remember what song he did this on) but anyway he kept
singing lines from an old Echo and the Bunnymen song "c-c-c-cabbage,
cu-cu-cucumber." He even did it at Glasto.... anyway, just random musings....

Well, as Cardigans aren't from the UK, but from Sweden, you'd better
change that "announcement" pretty fast or they'll get mad at you. :-)
That is:
