Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

[Staly]

Yes it is. It's very good. I'd definitely be interested in hearing more, but the only compilation CD on Amazon is £35!

Quite happy to copy what I've got if you pm me.

 

[Flex Your Head]

Well you've been doing CDs for everyone else - pm me if you want me to do you a Cat's Miaow one

Brilliant! Thanks, I will.

 

[Staly]

I'll get on to it. In the meantime have a listen to Hydroplane, who were basically The cat's Miaow under a different name. Gorgeous:

And staying on a theme, some of Cat's Miaow are now Bart and Friends, who played last years Indietracks.

Yes indeed. I was more than a tad gutted that due to DJing duties and them playing the church stage (capacity approx 120 max), I missed the entire set. Pam Berry from Black Tambourine (and many other fine bands) sung on some of the songs.

Curses!

You're right, absolutely gorgeous. I'd not heard them before, just heard of them, so thanks.

For anyone hankering for a bit of Sunshine Playroom nostalgia, have a listen to this (I think I might've posted this somewhere else in the thread, but can't remember. It's an age thing):

Here's someone who have been a bit overlooked in this thread.



Crawdaddy was an excellent album.

Just got home and found Murrays CD's waiting for me. Can't wait to give them some serious listening.
Thanks Murray- I have sent a PM but a public thanks is well in order.

I think I had a promo copy but never even listened to it because I hated the single. I might have to have a listen at some point, but it'll have to go some to beat 'Pop Said' which is rather lovely and pleasantly perky.

Have been playing CD 1 from Flex's collection almost constantly when in the car this past weekend. Some really great stuff and the shorter songs are just prefect. Personal favourites so far include The Blue Minkies- Tough Punks Are Square, The Sea lions- On and Off and The Legends. To be honest though its all brilliant. Yet to play the other CD's as want to savour them one at a time. Thanks again Murray.

I did the same. A couple of days on each one. I've only just got round to the 4th one. All excellent. The SECOND one is my favourite.

Planning to move onto the second tomorrow.

Hi everyone, just back from holiday. Started the day C86 style with Gentle Tuesday by Primal Scream - a great little tune. I will comment on FYH's 4xCD box set later, but a quick question: are people finding that the track names and artists are automatically picked up by iTunes, or are you manually typing them in? Oh, and there's no Vicente back yet? Hope the At The Edge of the Sea was good. I have hundreds of work emails to catch up on as well as all the in-depth BHA news/Seagulls player highlights - have been limited to BBC match reports so far. Thanks...

................ Hope the At The Edge of the Sea was good. ...

Glorious


Walked past Gedge on Western Road yesterday and thanked him for EVERYTHING GREAT on the behalf of EVERYONE GOOD

Welcome back. Edge Of The Sea was all the better this year for being two days long. There is a separate thread on it with reviews of bands and the odd photo. I would put in a link to it if I knew how!

I always tick the box 'include CD text' when burning CDs with iTunes, so it *should* work. It seems to for some people, but not everyone.

*looks baffled and shrugs shoulders slightly, but not in an unconcerned manner, more of a 'I don't really understand the technology' stylee*

I normally just cut and paste the link from the browser, but there's an icon thingie too when you post - the one with the globe and an 8 on its side.

I don't use iTunes, but certainly all the titles come up on the CD player in my car

Cor! That's pretty cool actually.

Thanks for the positive feedback re the discs - glad they're going down well.

And 500 posts - who'dve thunk?!
