January 14: Shed Seven - Let it Ride / Cry for Help 

Two more British singles today, these from Shed Seven, who recently announced they were breaking up. Shed Seven were kind of the Seven Mary Three of Britpop: they came along after Oasis and Blur, they sort of sounded like those bands, not that many people were huge fans of them, but they had some decent songs. However, none of them were on these singles, which date from '98 and 2001. The 1998 one, actually a four-song sampler from the Let It Ride album, sounds like Blur crossed with Oasis. The 2001 one is more ambitious, but overdoes it with too much orchestration (it sounds like half a symphony is playing the same four notes).
So, not the best thing I ever listened to, but, hey, it cost $2.
