Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

[Staly]

We could make our own and sell them, if there's a market for this sort of thing. Can't take much doing:

"Why don't you kill yourself? You ain't no good to no one else".

"The people I like are in the ground. It's better to be lost than to be found"

 

[Staly]

"Jesus died for his own sins, not mine"

critical mass

I love the titles on that record. My favourite's "Principal Punishes Students With Bad Impressions And Tired Jokes"

I've been around this town and I've seen what God has done

 

[Staly]

I've been around and it's no fun

Is it a crime
To be bad
When it's not
Worth being good

When you pull down your trousers it sends me in fits

It scares the health out of me.

Stumbled across this site, this morning. Wall prints for 80s Indie kids. Some are great. I like the more cryptic ones.

If I had any control whatsoever over what goes on the walls of my house, I'd have a couple of these in my Xmas stocking.

Feels like I'm going mad, best friend I've ever had

I'm ten feet underwater, standing in a sunken canoe - the most brilliant Go-Betweens

The water lilies are the wrong colour though...

Some people travel around the world to show everyone they're sure about themselves. BTW, given the farcical Bands of the 80s final, who do we think would win a C86 competition? Final between Tramway and The Batchelor Pad?

Depends on your criteria for inclusion, and on who you allow to vote.

If it's C86ish it could be anyone. If it's bands from the original tape, it must be Primal Scream or JAMC. PS would win an open vote, but they'd be voting for them based on later output that was far from C86...

JAMC are only on the 3xCD version, so, if we were doing it on the original only, I would guess a Primal Scream v Wedding Present final. If it was opened up to all 80s indie, I would think The Smiths would triumph. If it was artists who have released a record on Creation and we banned Oasis, it could be anyone's game.

Would have to be Mr Gedge for me, with an honourable mention for HMHB for always making me laugh.

My mum looked like Nery Hughes in the 80s and sometimes got mistaken for her. What with the backlash after the release by HMHB, she rarely went out post 1986 until the furore had died down.

Great minds! I would add The June Brides and McCarthy but there are so many worthy of entry.

June Brides / Primal Scream for me. Tough.
