I saw lush open Lollapalooza '92–brilliant. Miki kept yelling at the guys in the audience for looking up her skirt. Can't blame 'em, she's teh hott. The Lollapalooza organizers were smart enough to have Lush and Jesus and Mary Chain play first so all the Britpop kids could leave before Pearl Jam and Soundgarden…my god that tour was a transitional moment in pop music…

I think of Gala as the last “old school” 4AD record; “Deluxe” is unspeakably gorgeous.

They also did a good cover of Elvis Costello's “All This Useless Beauty”. Worth tracking down.

Didn't the drummer commit suicide?

How weird that just last week, I put Lush on my lala que and got Spooky on Friday. It was the first time I herd that album since college as my roomie was a huge 4AD fan and had everything.

I still miss Lush. My fave cover was their version of Abba's “Hey Hey Helen”

Why you should love Lush? Because they did an awesome cover of The Rubinoos, “I wanna be your boyfriend” changing the sex of course. It's raucus. One of the best covers anytime.
and then I scroll down and I see that someone already said this……..damn having something to do during the day!
Bullz Eye, do you need the original? It's just like this. Except better and cheeky. And I have an amazing mashup of that with Avril's ripoff. Really makes a case for it.
Email me if you want it.

One other thing: if you've never heard anything by Sing Sing, a.k.a. Emma Anderson's post-Lush band, you're missing out. They're great.
