I feel a bit nostalgic watching this video of Northside's "Take 5." It takes me back to my late high school/early college years when I was a total Anglophile. It was a time when I didn't mind paying $10-$15 dollars for an import-only single with one B-side or a whole album for $30. And driving an hour to the city almost every Thursday for Popscene was no big deal because it was fun and worth our time.
As for Northside, I consider them a poor man's Stone Roses. They never got as big, but their Madchester baggy sound is undeniable. Plus, the singer sounds like what Ian Brown might on a good day.
