Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

[Albumen]

I'll agree with The Family Cat, but not Pale Saints - are you nominating Sight of You as the good song? Look no further than the b-side She Rides The Waves - even better.

Just played it, you might have a point.

 

[Flex Your Head]

That first Pale Saints album was stunning, but I've not played it for years. Must dig out a copy.

One good song? I nominate The Heart Throbs:

Five Thirty. Did Thousand Yard Stare have a good song?

Five Thirty. Did Thousand Yard Stare have a good song?

Yes, a few I'd say, although they border on baggy at times. When they kept the sound at the Indie end of their range, decent enough.

 

[Staly]

My mate Dave got punched by one of Thousand Yard Stare once.

One good song. The Parachute Men - Leeds Station. "From The Queens Hotel to The Headrow, I am home". Still makes me miss the place.

I think the video's already been on here, so won't post it again, but: Eggs - Government Administrator

Drop Nineteens - Winona

Around half of their debut album is quite enjoyable. Bradford.

. Why is that the majority of females in such bands look so attractive? Or is it merely the fact they are in a band that does it?

It is, yes. I think it's a confidence thing, partly. Confidence is attractive.

I'm a complete sucker for girlie girl singers. Take Liz Hunt. I wouldn't even notice her in a street, but stick a sixties dress on her, a band behind her, and a tambourine in her hand and I'm in love.

Bradford.

Skin Storm? It's the only title of theirs I know, but I haven't heard it in at least 20 years. Actually, I think I have the 12" somewhere.
Wasn't there a Morrissey connection or summink?

There were a few of them weren't there? Raymonde spring to mind as Mozza protegees.

 

[Staly]

And... 50 pages! Same as the Palace manager thread.

Ahem. Won't say anything too lascivious cos they're probably mates of Murray's...

Fulfilling both requirements. Queen of the girlie girl singers and flag-bearer of the Laura Ashley set, Virginia Astley.

And her one good song:

Are we leaving the 1000th post to Murray? Don't all answer at once, or you'll spoil it...

We need a pact here. Whoever posts 999 then PMs Murray to give him the nod.

I don't know them actually, but one of the Fireworks I'm friends with is going out with one of the chaps from HSOL.
Liz from the School on the other hand, and her fella Tim... ;o)

I really didn't llike HSOL, but they did have one good song - Record Store. They also had the termerity to cover "Emma's House" - tsk!

 

[Flex Your Head]

Ooh blimey!
