If you would’ve told me back in 1991 that the Charlatans would still be making music twenty-something years later, I would have scoffed. Back then, as much as I enjoyed their Some Friendly album, it was obvious to anybody reading imported copies of the NME that these guys were total bandwagon-jumping posers. The Stone Roses were the real deal and everybody else was a sad imitation. But time has a funny way shaking things out. So here we are in 2015 and the Charlatans are still touring and releasing albums and making videos.

…in which our boys walk around Japan and show off their terrible haircuts. Modern Nature is out now.
These were the songs I loved back in the day…

I think they hold up pretty well. Baggy old Madchester. Good times.
