You’re poor at 13. You can’t even buy a sandwich: a tape from OurPrice is beyond any pocket not inflated by birthday money. We shared around. When I first gave a shit about the charts – when I first thought it meant more than a tune to hum – REM and U2 were the biggest bands in the world. Two tapes circulated around my class: Automatic for the People/Achtung Baby and Out of Time/Cosmic Thing. We all knew that shit. Apart from the tentatively recognised cool kids: they listened to S*M*A*S*H.
