Girl From Mars by Ash
“Growing up in Northern Ireland in the 1990s, Ash were not like other bands. They were just like us - only more talented! For goodness sake, we used to see Tim Wheeler in local pubs, his uncle was my chemistry teacher, and the drummer used to borrow videos from the video library I worked in. For all these reason, it's easy to overlook just how good they were back then and at least up to 'Free All Angels.' 'Jack Names the Planets,' 'Goldfinger,' 'Kung Fu,' 'Oh Yeah,' 'A Life Less Ordinary,' 'Burn Baby Burn,' 'Shining Light' are power pop anthems as good as anything in the same genre. As for 'Girl From Mars,' the line 'Henri Winterman CI-gars' (emphasis bizarrely on first syllable) is arguably the most memorable mispronunciation of a word in the whole of 90s pop music.”

I remember the time I knew a girl from Mars...
Hello. Sorry I've been on hols. Back now. This is a little piece of pop perfection and ideal for #BodyPaintWeek.
