This is slightly embarrassing.
In 1996, I heard 'Tonight Tonight' on Top of the Pops (UK music show). I was in awe. I thought how amazing the song was, but was stunned that they had this really shitty singer. Anyways, I remember seeing the single, and the album (limited edition box. Which I didnt fucking get) in a local record shop. Oh how i wish I had bought the album. But I didn't. Being rather dumb and foolish I considered the album to be too 'heavy' for me (based on a small clip of 'Zero' I had heard). Yes, I was 14 at this time. Embarrassingly, I was ignorant of all things music. Cue December 99. 3 years later. My musical knowledge at this point vastly expanded, I get Napster. Whilst talking to my mate about which song to d/l next, I remember the song 'Tonight', though the name of the band escaped me (Hard to believe, I know). to cut a long story short...I d/l lots of SP songs after that, and thereafter bought all the albums and anything SP related I could get my hands on. Oh, and I also learned that the lead singer wasn't shit. There. Now my dirty little secret is out. ------------------ no bodies ever knew, no bodies felt like you. |

I saw 'Today' on Saturday Night Live. I thought they were pretty good. I then saw the Tonight, Tonight video on MTV2 and the song rocked and it remains my favorite song of all time.

Zero.
I remember in maybe 5th grade, my older brother borrowed MCIS from a friend and I can recall sitting on his bed listening to Zero and Tonight, Tonight and flipping through the liner notes. I really liked them, and eventually I listened to all of the first disc and loved it all, but for some idiotic reason (I was in 5th grade remember) I never even bothered to try the second disc except for 1979 once in a while. So anyway I was infatuated with that first disc for quite a while, Adore came out and my brother bought it but I never really cared for it much and I lost interest about there. I didn't pay attention when Machina came out or even know when they broke up, but then a little more than a year ago my brother (who I'm on the same network with) shared his harddrive and I was browsing through his MP3s. I found MCIS and not wanting to rip it for myself, copied it to my own harddrive. Now being significantly less moronic than I was in 5th grade, I listened to the second disc all the way through and found that I loved it every bit as much as the first, and decided I must acquire more from this band I had neglected for so long. From there I found all the other great music that existed and I was hooked, and here I am today. I still kick myself for knowing about SP much earlier but just sort of letting my interest dwindle, and then getting into them a few months after they break up. I have very poor timing I suppose. |

i first heard drown in 1993 and had no idea who it was or the name of the song. i fell in love with it and use to wait for hours for it to come on the radio.
one day i decided to call the radio station and ask. i sang the song to the dj. he told me it was the pumpkins. later i discovered that the killer in me is the killer in you song (disarm) and that today song was the same band. i thought all of those songs were awesome too. i became addicted. thats my little story. that is all. |

First SP song that I heard (saw): Siva on 120 minutes. I was either 14 or 15. I thought they were freaks. At that point in my life, though, if it didn't involve Robert Smith or Martin Gore, or Morrissey, I just didn't give a shit.
First SP song that made me buy an SP album (tape): Disarm. I think this directly coincided with the beginning my obsession with The Beautiful South. Pisces Iscariot: Back in the day, Big Rick Stewart at Live 105 would play the cover of Landslide just to taunt people. Like, nah nah, it's import only! I think in 1994 I convinced myself that it must be on this bside CD called Pisces Iscariot. When I discovered it didn't, the CD stayed in my glove box, for, I swear, something on the order of 2 years. I only started listening to it after MCIS. |

It's funny becuase I try and remeber this and can't.... Why did I have to kill all those brain cells??
I recently thought that it was Tonight Tonight, the first time I went home to Canada and I was in the rockies with my childhood best friend and we were listening to it, an coincedently, the little town I lived in was on the shore of this real big lake... so now when I hear "in your city by the lake, the place where you were born" I almost cry becuase it is so like my life!!! but I know I heard Today and Disarm b4 that so I have been a fan scince I was like....10 or something ------------------ Nothing Left To Say, And All I've Left 2 Do, Is Run away From U |

I'm a late bloomer too. hmm...the first song I ever heard of them was 1979. that and tonight i thought were awesome. but the first album I bought by SP was Adore, and after quite a while it got me hooked.
people told me it was an album with only ballads on it. lol... after hearing it a few times in music stores I found out it wasn't, but some songs made it worth buying it. now it's maybe my favourite SP album. ------------------ Mallow http://www.director-file.com/cunningham/5226.jpg |

long story short...1994: on vacation in new jersey, my cousin mentioned lollopalooza with the pumpkins headlining. i got home around the time of my birthday and right when i turned the radio on, it was spaceboy...and i thought it was disarm...and then when i got siamese dream for my birthday, it was the entire album...thank you pumpkins!

I was breaking up with my bf, driving aimlessly late at night, depressed. Muzzle came on the radio and I stopped crying and fighting in my head to listen to the song. It was like...ahhhhh, yes. There's something better than this mess I'm in.
