upergrass survived Britpop and came out almost as good as they went in: no mean feat, especially when you consider the other alumni from the class of ’95. (Wherefore Cast? Whither Kula Shaker?) Back in the heady days of Cool Britannia, Supergrass’s rowdy pop nuggetry attracted the attention of Steven Spielberg, who offered the Oxford quartet their own Monkees-style sitcom. They declined. Around the same time, singer Gaz Coombes was offered a Calvin Klein modeling contract. It was also turned down. The band has always taken itself seriously, sometimes to their detriment: with 1999’s self-titled third album, a dullish attempt at maturity, they seemed ready to renounce the prospect of world domination altogether. How un-Britpop can you get? Perhaps chastened by that album’s failure, perhaps encouraged by Oasis’s complete descent into Steve Millerdom, the band has released a new LP, Life on Other Planets, which is a symbolic return to the glory days. The mood is upbeat; the trademark “la-la” Chipmunk harmonies are in place. There is electricity (“Never Done Nothing Like That Before”) and primordial rock swagger (“L.A. Song”) to spare, and the dreamy album closer (“Run,” which sounds like Air reworking the Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun King”) hints at a world beyond the Glastonbury mainstage. While in NYC to promote the new album, Coombes and bassist Mick Quinn sat down for a chat, and I promptly alienated them with blatant self-promotion and questions about porn. — Grant Stoddard So do people come up to you after shows and give you CDs of their own bands? Here’s mine. [hands over package] That’s what I thought. Use it as a Frisbee or something. How was your recent Conan O’Brien experience? You’re going on Carson Daly too, right? It’s his job to knob2 young pop starlets. He might. What’s it like coming from the smartest town in the world? So who has the smut on the tour bus? Smut. Jazz rags3. You don’t dabble in that? Well, I only ask because you’ve all had girlfriends since the bands started, right? And you’re away from home so long . . . Muscle party? Yeah, totally. I’m so over it too. So do you regret turning down Steven Spielberg? If he came back now, would you have a different response?
So you were making In It for the Money, but you weren’t actually in it for the money. There’s a lot more joy in this record than there was in the last one. So you wrote the latest album in France . . . Was it just the four of you? Which brings me to my next question. When was the last time you threw up on yourself? No, full-on chunder7 down your shirt. Is the British music scene healthy at the moment? Have you ever done karaoke? You know David Lee Roth from Van Halen? He always comes to New York and does karaoke, but he sings his own songs. That’s a bit shit, isn’t it?
