First album I bought with my own money and not basically asking for Xmas etc was songs for the deaf by Queens of The Stone Age

 

[COYBL25]

The Darkness - Permission to Land. Not gonna pretend I was a dead cool 11 year old.

Saw them live at Mountford Hall around Christmas time, just before Hawkins went mad.

It was one of the best laughs I've had at a gig. Pure high camp piss taking.

Back in 2003 the cool kids were listening to the likes of 50 Cent. Anything with an electric guitar in and you were a goth.

my probably quite cool mate once strummed 50 Cent's signature song on his acoustic while we walked through Brixton's Coldharbour Lane (back then dominated by Jamaican drug-dealing street crews).

That hasn't changed to these days. All my mates are the creamfields crowd and I like Parkway Drive. Therefore I'm a goth despite them not really knowing what that means.
