(The Bluetones - done rather well for themselves)

A slight departure tonight from the criminally neglected, abandoned at the starting gate and might've beens. The Bluetones have actually achieved a goodly amount of popularity and sales since they got together in 1995. Initially hailed as part of the Britpop movement, they've managed to shed the image while still maintaining a pretty good fan base. Although they've never managed to surpass their initial success, from which this track, A Slight Return was their first single went to number 1, leading off a string of successful singles during the last 13 years. Still, as is often the case, they are much more popular and recognized in the UK than they are over here, despite a number of tours of the U.S. - of their five album releases, their first album and their last album (S/T) were the only two to be issued simultaneously in the States as well as Britain.

So maybe you've heard them and maybe you haven't.

Flip a coin.
