    Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

    I have my settings at 40 posts per page (fewer clicks at work... just in case they're monitoring), so I'm only up to page 38. But never one to miss the chance of posting a mini-classic, from the epic Labrador 100 compilation, here's The Legends (with a song that was surely at least co-written by...

    I can't link to the best sites as they're all blocked at work, but (HKFC's fave) Liz from The School and her mates have put together the second Wales Goes Pop festival next month. http://www.thegate.org.uk/event/wales-goes-pop/ Another nifty line-up.

    Cor, I've been dying to post this for days but haven't had the chance. But look, here's the first batch of bands playing at this year's Indietracks. Loads of great stuff, but I'm particularly looking forward to seeing Brighton's very wonderful The Blue Minkies back in action again, and...

    That's really rather nice; I've not heard them before. Speaking of songs called Talking Backwards which are half decent, I've always been rather fond of this:

    Yes, I did. Thanks for asking. Went along to Park Crescent on Monday afternoon to pick up the cert and neck a few free wines. I'll drop you a quick PM.

    hans kraay fan club - that's pretty lovely, as is the singer *swooooon* tinycowboy - I've only got the Shifty Disco version of the MtH track (which is slightly less well produced) - had no idea there was an album. Is it worth tracking down? I saw U2 supporting The Comsat Angels for £1.90 in...

    Blair 'advised Brooks before arrest'!

    Nope, he's a career politician who chose the party which offered him the best chance of getting up the greasy pole. Blair and socialism go together like a horse and marriage.

    Blair 'advised Brooks before arrest'!

    He's a Tory trying to protect other Tories. He was always dazzled and impressed by big business, business leaders and those 'at the top', so probably just trying to ingratiate himself further. The smug little prat.

    Where have all the music subcultures gone?

    I was a punk (I still consider myself one in moments of idealistic, nostalgic romanticism, despite the suit I wear to work) but I had friends who were Teds, Mods, Skins, Rockabillies, Psychobillies, Hippies, 2-Toners, Headbangers, New Romantics, Trendies / Smoothies / Casuals and so on. All...

    It's a real bloody shame that The Besties only ever released two albums and I only ever got to see them once. I would've married either of the girls on the night, if ony they'd asked. Anyway, after about 3 months of listening next to no music, I'm going to start compiling another set of CDs...

    The 'big deal' fatasy share dealing league - anyone else playing?

    Yes, mine did. I don't really understand how the funds work, so I've just stuck with shares. Finished the week in the top 4,400, so I'm happy with that.
