I saw Lush at the Brixton Academy in 1991 with a group of mates. I was at the bar getting in the beers where Miki Berenyi was. She was also having a drink on the other side of it. She smiled and winked at me. I've never been so proud. My mates was so fucking envious. I Will never forget that night.

Don't wanna talk to myself again tonight Don't wanna put out the light When you abandoned me Well it was heaven-sent When I abandoned you It was what you meant Well it was you that knew it And it was you that went Having changed our minds it was meant to be Don't wanna clean up your mess again tonight Don't have to be in a fight I'm going to what I want again tonight Living without you - it's alright Single girl I just wanna be a single girl

This is the most crazy thing ever. It’s 5am, and this song just popped into my head. My mind is blown! 🤯

[@Trashware]

One more great (early) 90s band I discovered about 23 years too late.. or is it?

[@kit2418100]

Never too late!! Turn it up!

[@Strawberryknight]

discovered? That's stupid. Lush was one of the greatest bands in those days.

[@edlawn5481]

You and me both.

[@tvtitlechampion3238]

Nah, never too late to unearth pleasures. There is that tendency to do a lightweight face palm and wonder why it didn't come up on the radar before then. Fair enough, both ways.

[@deluxedjsireland224]

@@Strawberryknight yes, discovered. how is that 'stupid'? he doesn't mean unearthed from obscurity for the rest of the world's benefit. You're spending too much time around indie boy baby-gatekeepers.

Welcome back Lush

[@drugstorecowgirl6982]

I had this CD when it came out but had no clue that any of the songs off of this album had videos. This is fantastic. 🖤

[@LrulestheworldM8]

Hands down, this band was one of the best shoegazing bands of the 90's. There is no comparison, nor any other band quite like them. I just wish they would come back to tour again. Though I can understand their reasons not to.

[@etinthecreek]

they are back touring.....

[@vermilliongecko]

@@etinthecreek Aaaaaaand they've split up again.

[@helderjulio7753]

Cocteau Twins the best. Second lush in theyr shoegaze period before brit pop influence. Rip Chris A.

[@deluxedjsireland224]

@@helderjulio7753 I prefer them post Britpop. They were better at being Blondie than My Bloody Valentine. Cocteaus were considered a bit old-hat during the shoegaze era, more like a Ramones to shoegaze's punk..Godfathers to the scene but detached from it. But I'd agree with you 100% if we can view shoegaze in its full context including its forefathers. They were always my favourite and I think their music, all of it, has stood the test of time far better.

Anybody else reading her book? I used to have a major crush on Miki in the mid 90s.

[@BlowinFree]

I’m listening to it on audible now. The SA was utterly terrifying to listen to. Why did she feel the need to be so graphic?

Saw them on 29/10/91 at the Portsmouth Pyramids with Gallon Drunk and Passing Clouds as support acts. Don't remember much about it apart from being in an advanced state of refreshment, but that was nothing unusual at the time. If you can remember the 1990's clearly then you probably weren't there...

Another good song by this band.

[@lloydmilton9808]

Lovelife was never my favorite album when it was released. At the time I found it too mainstream compared to their previous albums and I sorely missed the dreamy quality of their vocals. This video is a great example of how I felt they had gone mainstream. To be honest I haven't gone back to listen to the album in almost 20 years. After recently learning that they released new material in 2016 (yeah, I know, 6 years ago) perhaps I will give this another chance before buying Blind Spot.

[@deaddoll1361]

Good song. I prefer their earlier, more shoegaze stuff, but there may have been peer pressure in the industry to be more britpop around 96 and shoegaze was less popular in 96 than it was in 92.

How NINETIES does Miki Berenyi look here? Neon lime dress and scarlet hair, with that bleached out mid-90s video style on top. Good Lord she was breathtaking. In real life too. She signed an autograph for me in Dublin around the time of this release. She didn't strike me as a particularly nice person, on that occasion, or onstage, or in the press. But who said rockstars were required to be nice.....
