Magic Dirt- Dirty Jeans

This is the hit single from the album What Are Rockstars Doing Today, which shot Magic Dirt into 15 minutes of mainstream fame. It was released in 2000.

Dirty Jeans is a simple ditty with an interesting song structure- a bit like a rock version of a round. Also, in my book it earns bonus points for the double hand-claps.

Kidbug is a grungier style, with more venomous vocals and dirty guitars swirling around in the background. And Supernova is somewhere between the two. Neither are particularly memorable for me, but are decent headbanging fun at the time.

Favourite songs

Dirty Jeans, Supernova 

Would I Buy It Again?

Probably not. Back then it worked well as a quirky pop song, but for me there isn't any lasting appeal.
