Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

[rosscrudos]

As MBV are getting mentioned on this thread, I will add this Melbourne band to the mix:

White walls

They do a split 7" with Deep Heat who are also very good

 

[Staly]

Does anyone on this thread really not have a record player?? I think I have three. I love record players. Or turntables, as I now call them.

I've got one of those ones where you have to take the platter off and adjust the belt to change the speed. It's good because my wife's far too scared to attempt this operation, which means that if I leave it on 45 she can't play her Proclaimers lps.

I've had this in my head all day today. No idea why. Not heard it for years.

A classic, you're right, as is this:

I've got one of those - it's quite annoying...

Wise words.

Great band. This is a bit too obvious, but the thread's poorer for its absence;




Lets have some Josek K, too.

 

[Staly]

And some later period Orange Juice, to prove that they never lost it.

 

[tinycowboy]

It's kinda funny is my favourite Josef K. The obvious Felicity is my favourite OJ. For a time, was also my favourite WP.

There's an interesting interview today with UVS's Kurt Ralske on the quietus

This raised a small smile.

Not a big smile. The great man would never approve of that.

Onwards and Upwards is my OJ tops. Youtube doesn't accept that it exists though!

You'd better upload your own video - perhaps a poorly focused snap of the cover of You Can't Hide Your Love Forever and a low-fi recording??

As if I have the time for such frivolities!

(I like the videos people upload, where the video is of the actual vinyl going round).

I met a bloke in a pub in Southampton who claimed to play drums for Orange Juice. He said he played on the rip it up song. He told me that Edwin Collins ****ed his girlfriend, so he hit him in the head with his snare drum and left the band. Seems a strange story to make up!

 

[tinycowboy]

I love this song - lots of ba-ba-ba-bas.

Absolute 100% all-time classic!

I saw a revitalised Yeah Yeah Noh earlier this year. I thought they were pretty good, but a mate who was a biiiig fan back in the day was genuinely moved to tears of joy... the big jessie

 

[Flex Your Head]

Just opened a packet from @staly - looks absolutely amazing and I can't wait to get me ears around it - thanks mate!

Twenty Fours hours and this lot will be on stage.
Here is a great Peel Session from 1985. I think that's Tranmere Rovers Ground based on the fact they are huge supporters.

That is/was indeed Prenton Park. I love HMHB - always entertaining, often hilarious.

Hope you have a smashing time, would love to see HMHB but still never have.
