Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

Hmmmm. What do we think of this?

Enjoying the fact she is now surrounded by an all woman group. Sound is pretty poor- prefer the old style to be honest. John Peel once sang on one of their songs. I think it was Pinky Blue Skies but need to look that up.

I'm enjoying this new Stephen Malkmus/Jicks track. Sorry, it's one of those unofficial videos with the lyrics on it. Maybe just listen rather than watch?

Very nice for a sunny Sunday morning.

I've just upped the tempo a tad with a blast of this old classic.



Absolute killer chorus.

Further details have been anounced for The Wedding Present Summer festival 'Edge Of The Sea' in Brighton. They will be playing album Watusi in its entirety on the Saturday and the Mini e.p on the Sunday- with other tracks too I would guess. Plus the usual Cinerama slot.

Song Sung Blue I think. Could be wrong.

She's morphing into Geri Halliwell!

The news we've all been dreading...

shouldn't really laugh though.

I actually quite like Watusi and it will be interesting to hear songs that probably have never been played live before. The album contains one of my favourite Weddoes songs- Swimming Pools and Movie Stars- which is a typical Gedge love song.

I've posted about this album once before, on another thread, but I'll do it again: any fans of Mercury Rev, the mellowest side of the Flaming Lips,Youth LagooN and Bon Iver may like this. Wistful, plaintive, violins, guitar - great mood music if you like this sort of thing. Album came out in the UK this week, I think:

Didn't think they were rare?

They're not. It's a bloomin' rip-off. Not selling mine, even though the album contains its fair share of duffers. You've got a stronger stomach than me Staly - too much Ron Johnson does my head in.

Mixing my metaphors somewhat.

I find the Shrubs track a bit hard going, to be fair.

I've been falling a little in love with Red Sleeping Beauty again today. I managed to grab the Singles CD on eBay for less than a tenner and have been playing it all afternoon since postie delivered it.



Yet more Swedish wonder-pop and strong rumours that some kind of reformation might be on the cards.
There were so many truly fantastic Swedish bands in the 90's but very few of them managed to make it over the North Sea to the UK. Oh for a time machine...

Is this your antidote to the "Definately Maybe is 20 years old" thread?

I'll contribute this:

We definitely need an antidote to all these "[insert name of best/favourite player] going to [insert name of random club in any division/country]?" threads. Are the Shrews coming in for Rohan Ince?
