Finally, after months of brainstorming and gruelling research, I've compiled a list of items notable of Suede videos, interviews, what-have-yous.
Never heard of a drinking game, you say? Well, here's how it goes:
- Take out all your video collections of interviews, music videos, and other clips of Suede, and invite a few fellow Suedehead buddies over.
- Of course, it won't be a drinking game without drinks and a few goodies, will it? Whatever you've got in the fridge or liquor cabinet will do. STAY AWAY FROM THE LIQUOR CABINETS, UNDERAGE KIDDIES! Substituting is allowed. You can also have some junk food and gummi bears to go with it.
- Now that you've got the necessary paraphernalia, gather round the TV and be prepared for a Suede marathon!
- There's a list of stuff to follow. It just tells you when you see or hear that thing listed here, you either take a swig or gobble up a snack. Not too hard.
The objective of this game? A salute to our favorite Brit band, and a good excuse to get head-over-ass, gloriously piss-drunk! (or get bloated from all that junk food) So this means you've gotta have nothing else to do for the day, or the day/s afterwards, depending on your hangovers.
A few words of WARNING! You mustn't drive or operate any heavy machinery or equipment for the next 48 hours or so. People under 18 should are strictly prohibited from taking alcoholic drinks.
And without further ado, Daiji's Suede Drinking Game, boys and girls!

............Brett's voice is cracking up
............(during interviews and clips) Mat and Brett are doing the interviews, then call out "So, who's Suave and who's Elegant?" (note to Suede novices: Suave and Elegant is one of the names the two were thinking of calling themselves, before settling with the savvy monosyllabic monicker)

............(stand up, shade one hand over the eyes and go "Too bright in here!" before the drink and the goody) Anyone from the band is wearing shades

............When one of the band interrupts Brett in an interview

............Anyone of them looks straight into the camera
Now I reiterate that you shouldn't be driving or working any heavy machinery for the next 48 hours. And underaged participants should STAY AWAY from the hard drinks.
This whole shenanigan is concocted for the pure reason of a fun and irrational way to celebrate the musical genius that is Suede.
Anybody's welcome to make a few additions, improvise a few items, make a few suggestions, or maybe mix the perfect drink for the occasion. Anyway, this is a nonprofit campaign, but give credit (!) where credit is due.
Enjoy ppl!
