Hell yeah
I'd even go so far to say that first album is pretty good!
I hope you weren't being sarcastic, otherwise i've shown myself reeet up...!!
But to speak frankly I fucking loved that album!
The World And Body
is a superb album and I absolutely adore this band. If ever a song could ever take me back to a moment in time, this would one of them. A defining song of the Brit Pop era.
not at all
i love nearly everything they did.
I so love that song.
The acoustic version is brilliant.
If you believe your dreams can come true
then sleep...is all you'll ever do.
This may be a cue for me to stick "This World and Body" on some time today. Quite simply one of the best British debut albums of the past 20 years. Glorious stuff...but hey, I even like The Program.
glad this thread is still knocking about
listened to the album this morning and its still brilliant. Vanessa is a high light for me.
I remember the first time I ever heard it
and when the harmonica solo kicked in...I don't think I've ever grinned so much.
Yep
I juat about prefer Time though.
every song on that album
i fucking love - my fav used to be I stopped dancing. I remember when i was 15 i used to put that on and dance about like a moron - it was wicked!
Father's Day (one of the b-sides) is a great song too. I like the program too. They were great live as well.
I lent my sister the The World And Body to lend it to her mate for a day about five years ago - never got it back. It had great sentimental value for me :'(
You can normally find TWAB
for about three quid in any branch of Music and Video Exchange (or on Ebay). I'll probably need a replacement copy sometime soon anyway - it's dying from overplay.
It's a great, great album
I <3 it so much I wrote a user review on here about it. Nerrrrd.
Jaime Harding is playing a gig at the Metro in town on Thursday, as it happens.
Am compiling a b-side compilatation for the blog now...

xx
They were quite prolific weren't they?
B-sides I can find...
1 Chance
2 The Collector
3 Let's all go together (slide version)
4 Waiting for no-one
5 The Late Gate Show
6 Father's day
7 Down the middle with you
8 Speechless
9 We love everything
10 Minus You
11 Promise Q
12 Journey to the Centre
13 The Present
14 Psycho Killer
15 Sparkle (Acoustic)
16. Violent Men
I'm missing my Violent men single with today and tonight on it. Can anyone furnish me with Today and Tonight? If you can, PM me...
Please!
violent men
was a single too?
it was their debut single
and not on either album.
But did come as a free 7"
with the vinyl version of the first album.
Also, here's the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ai5wh9afsY
AWWWWWWWWWWW etc.
ooo
WOW thankyou! themarionarchive = my afternoon sorted. i only knew it as a bside. cheersall!
same here
Time is a fantastic song.
agreed
It's all about
Time.
didn't their singer get arrested
for stealing garden gnomes to feed his heroin addiction? I'm sure I read that somewhere...
yup
i wish i'd caught their reunion shows last year. alas i wasnt in london yet and couldnt afford it :-(
jaime
is playing solo acoustic this thursday
http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&query=detail&event=271077&interface
but again i cant go cos i'm off on holiday early the next morning :-(
AMAZING!!!
i was gonna go to that anyway for public service announcers and me my head.
Wondeful band
When I was 16 it felt like every song they wrote was about me and my puberty.
My biggest regret is still never having seen them live - i got tickets for the kings college show last year but got poopy on the day so couldn't go and I got band pracky on Thursday so can't go to the Metro.
All For Love is a ball-bouncer.
2nd album
did it ever come out?
i remember a single and getting quite excited but that turned out to be not so good
yeah
Miyako Hideaway. did not get promoted properly or promoted at all, really, so I had to hunt for a copy when it came out.
Its was a fucking wicked
single - should have got much more attention. Didn't Johnny Marr produce it? Or did i just make that up?... hmmmm. I was very excited about it at the time.
Ooo and thank you for reminding me about 'Violent men'!
Johnny Marr produced the whole second album
and he plays on a couple of tracks. Fact. There's a *lot* of good stuff on The Program, it's a real shame that album got buried.
Aha! Thought so!
Another reason why Marion were the dogs boll**ks.
my fave is fallen thru
Not sure if ti counts as a song cos it is just one line all the way thru really
but
fuck they absolutely killed with that song live. I was kinda friends with the band and saw them dozens of times.
I might even go on thursday, y'know.
Oh yes.
Part One is done
http://tracksfromthestack.blogspot.com/2008/07/marion-discography-part-one.html
when I was about 16/17
me and my equally underage mates would hang around at The George Hotel in Macclesfield and get hammered on cheap white wine with Jaime Harding when we should've been at sixth form. He was a bit of a has-been then but seems to be all cleaned up and working hard on the music again now, which is good. He started going out with my mate's younger sister for a while, so everyone in Macc thought he was a bit of a creepy paedo, but he used to watch every shitty Green Day rip-off and give serious advice on every gig. The guy's ace.
Not seen him around
Macc for a few months but i'm not entirely sure i'd say he's 'completely' cleaned up.
Great band, although i was still a bit young to fully appreciate them in their hayday. They certainly still had it at the reunion show @Club Academy last year.
