Elastica - Connection (Jools Holland 1994)

[@flyingvman1843]

Justine is such an attractive and talented woman.

So funny...when Elastica first broke out onto the scene way back in 1995 with this first single, I absolutely hated and loathed this song so badly. Then, a short time later, they released Stutter and I absolutely loved that song so much, that I went out and purchased the CD. I, of course, loved the album from Track 1 (Line Up), all the way through Track 16 (Vaseline) and because of that, Connection also grew on me and I came to love it so much as well. Their Debut album has always remained in my collection since then too because it's a 100% awesome album, with no bad songs on it whatsoever. Pure Gold, as far as I am concerned, and takes me back to a better time. 🙂

Almost 30 years ago... Still looks like yesterday to me. Time's a painful bitch.

[@petejones879]

They were a great band.. I still love this song and.... I used to fancy the singer Justine

[@larataenmalospasos]

never get tired of this song

[@roseweinstein4256]

Me too this was my favorite back in high school

[@Hilaire_Balrog]

Justine was my dream crush back in the 90s. I even dated a girl in large part because she had the same look as Justine; dark hair, similar haircut, similar features, British 😆. She wasn't a musician but an artist, which is ironic as Justine is now well known for her paintings.

I love how the people just stand there and don't cheer or nothin'.

Lol they're lame

[@stevesanda5181]

I saw Eric Clapton in Aalborg Denmark 1980. Steel folding chairs for seats, pop-corn being sold, and the Danish audience was so reserved/quiet.

@@stevesanda5181 People feel music differently. Some dance. Some don’t. The English are repressed. Don’t know about the Danes.

This is a weird TV show it's not like, a gig.

Great riff inspired by Three Girl Rhumba

Wire a top band too. Good shout.

hot lead singer

[@ejzl1984]

this is just great music....

[@MrRigamortis86]

'I don't understand how a heart is a spade' & 'I don't understand how the last card was played' gets me all the time. Clever little lyricist was Justine.

Justine's nice looking and all but that bassist does it for me.

I like this song since I was a baby

[@richardmikesell632]

Pure power rock female style!!

Girl power

[@pitchforkcustom]

with a male drummer 😂

[@richardmikesell632]

@@pitchforkcustom Maybe he identified as female back then. LOL

[@goober8798]

@@pitchforkcustom The male drummer in females lead bands was a thing in the 90's Breeders, Belly, and another I can't remember. I think fewer women were into drums back then because there wasn't a lot of representation except for Sheila E and Debbi Peterson (Bangles) and Cindy Blackman (Lenny Kravitz). Now thanks to the internet, there are quiet a few well-known female drummers who are getting more focus and showing their kit skills like Anna Prior (Metronomy), Sarah Jones (Hot Chip/Harry Styles), Meg White (White Stripes) and every drummer The Last Dinner Party has had has been female and a session player, especially Isis Dunthorne.

Who was playing the lick at the beginning

[@99900062]

Who is playing the opening music before the band starts playing?

[@user-ym3ld5ut7b]

The opening riff? It must be a sample or looped in because none of them are doing it.

[@99900062]

@@user-ym3ld5ut7b Cool riff

[@mitchvickers2376]

It's a sample from the song Three Girl Rhumba by the ban Wire

[@user-ym3ld5ut7b]

@@mitchvickers2376 totally... But it doesn't seem as if they're physically playing it themselves and it's an easy riff.

WIRE ripp/ song! But there version still rocks!!

[@SirJoelsuf1]

REALLY wish they gave SOME credit to Wire.

[@videowifie]

Wire got a good court settlement from it so they did alright. And they did say they were inspired by Wire in every interview where they were asked about inspiration.. Should have kept that to themselevs and saved the settlement, lol
