Moz mention in the biography section on the Suede site... were the kids really ripped off with Hatful Of Hollow? http://www.suede.net/ COMING UP was released in September 1996, begat five Top Ten singles and heralded a 14-month world tour, Suede's biggest tour to date by far. In October the following year they released SCI-FI LULLABIES, a 27-track double album collection of b-sides which is widely regarded as the best of its kind (even "Hatful Of Hollow" ripped off "the kids" if you checked your Peel tapes) and which included no cover versions, no instrumentals and no remixes. (Incidentally, Morrissey, who never sings covers used to play the Suede b-side my insatiable one in his live set before it was even released.) There were countless gems included herein - to the birds which used to close the early Suede set, the savagely violent killing of a flashboy which no-one could believe wasn't a single in the first place, the starstruck/starfucked the big time and the apocalyptic europe is our playground which seemed to inhabit some strange lost-future world as glimpsed from the mid-1970s. When Suede closed 1997 with their fanclub-only show at London's Forum, Melody Maker were forced to admit that "no other band in the world could get away with playing an entire set of b-sides."

And who the hell are the kids? Rip the kids off all you want, they're kids, they're dumb and don't know no better see? I don't give a toss about the kids, they all wear baggy pants and clog up Manchester with wallet chains and shit hair.
And anyway, everyone knows suede went shit when Bernard left. the guitarist went from animal lover to pie lover and god could you tell.
In summary: moz uber alles, half of sci fi lullabies is great, kids are there to be ripped off, that's why they're kids.
