I MISS THE NINETIES

I Miss the Nineties by The Winter Olympics

I watched Reality Bites three times last night
And it nearly made me cry.
Did we ever, honestly, actually act like that?
Wouldn’t we have just laughed at the grunge guy?

I miss the nineties
I miss the Megadrive
I miss Eric Cantona
I miss the X Files

It’s been too long since I last stared into your magic eyes
Although I never saw a thing.
Remember we stayed up all night when your Tamagotchi died?
I think a piece of me died with him.

I miss the nineties
I miss Nevermind
I miss Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
I miss Windows ‘95
I miss Bill and Ted
(They were excellent)
I miss cashing cheques in pubs
I miss singles on cassette
I miss the Millennium bug

I miss the nineties
I miss the dot com boom
I miss the Melody Maker
I miss Terminator 2
I miss the people that we were
I miss the ones we might have been
I miss the friends that we have lost
I miss the bands that we have seen.

Sing along with the video:

THE GREAT OUT-TOURS (OXFORD)

People of Britain. Lock up your Little Chefs and batten down your bitter pumps, the Winter Olympics touring party is coming to a town near you.
 
That’s right, in support of our exciting new record, ‘The Great Outdoors’ (have you bought it yet? It’s on iTunes, Amazon and eMusic) your Winter Olympics are embarking on a string of very special straight-after-work-on-a-Friday-night getting-on-a-bus-and-going-somewhere-noone-knows-your-name rock shows.
 
The first show of the ‘Great Out-Tours’ series is on Friday 13th of AUGUST (that’s next Friday) in historic Oxford, home of Morse and Swervedriver. 
 
 Tours!
 
If you would like The Winter Olympics to come to your town too drop us a line at thewinterolympicsband@googlemail.com. We’ll play pretty much anywhere, but remember, it’s got to be a Friday night and it’s got to be straight after work. Here are the details for the Oxford gig:
 
THE OXFORD WHEATSHEAF
129 High Street, Oxford,
Oxfordshire, OX1 4DF

The Winter Olympics are on at about eight thirty. We’ll be playing with The Dead Jerichos and are hoping to hook up with our great rock mates Alphabet Backwards (who were amazing at the Great Indoors festival last weekend). You should come too. 

For those of you from London who want to come along (and you should, it’s going to be amazing) The Winter Olympics’ Mr Ten Percent Jimmy Ketchup is planning a coach trip on ‘The Oxford Tube’. It’s dirt-cheap, runs all night, and coming back from a rock show on it makes you feel a bit like you’re in Def Leppard. Email James at jimmyketchup@gmail.com and he’ll give you details. He’s very friendly and there should be a good few of us going…

See you there then.
