Lost in TV Reviews
after some great reviews in uncut, the guardian and
get rhythm, lost in tv also seems to be a bit of a
hit in the rock press!
these just in . . .
in the early 90s, suede's unique brand of glam rock
echoed through student halls of residence countrywide.
while their androgynous council flat chic was far
removed from the laddish retro of bands such as oasis,
suede effectively cleared the way for the britpop
movement that followed in their wake.
lost in tv is a collection of all the videos for their
singles (17 released to date) and the clever on the
couch option allows you to watch the band review the
promos in real time. with disarming candour they pick
up on all their most annoying traits: "stop shrieking!"
singer brett anderson shouts at his ertswhile self;
they laugh at themselves "prancing around like tits in
tower blocks"; they cringe at the pretentious,
meaningless symbolism to which they were once so partial.
(the funniest anecdote has to be that one of the band
was hospitalised after having a violent allergic reaction
to the velvet back cloth featured in animal nitrate).
with rare footage of the band in the studio and on tour
and a bizarre karaoke section, lost in tv is a treat for
ardent suede fans. *[CLASSIC ROCK 6/6]
releasing a dvd with videos, interviews and rare footage,
like a sort of greatest hits collection, normally means
one of two things; lack of money or the band are about to
break up. in suede's case though it seems to be neither.
soon to release their fifth album, brett anderson and co
bring us suede: lost in tv. there is a good selection of
old gigs as well as behind the scenes footage - and a
section where you can watch the band commenting on their
own videos, calling themselves pretentious and saying why
certain videos were "a complete load of garbage". the
highlight though has to be the singalong karaoke feature.
when the curtains are shut you'll be holding your hairbrush
pretending to be brett won't you. lost in tv is a must for
all suede fans and a maybe, if you have the cash, for the
rest of us. *[ROCK SOUND 4/5]
