Speaking of Anorak, there's a thread called 'C86 Era Gigs and Clubs' - http://anorakforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6789 - which has lost of interesting posts, not least this recent one by someone with the user-name 'Michael Quentin' (who was doubtless in Ten Million Quentins): I was involved in...

Do they sound a bit like The Raincoats? If so, it's probably this bunch who are fronted by Rachel who was in the fantastic Golden Grrrls. https://soundcloud.com/shoppingband There's three songs from their recent-ish Brighton show at the top of this thread -...

Boyracer are still going, albeit sporadically, but over in the States. Stewart Boyracer also releses records under the name Tricia Yates Fanclub - pop-picking Grange Hill fact fans. I DJ'ed at a gig for The Catalysts a few years back. The Catalysts turned out to be one man band; Ulric Kennedy...

Wah! Heat - Seven Minutes to Midnight.

Without wishing to be pedan... actually, with every intention of being pedantic, your post above is disingenuous. You were not answering this question - Does anyone else remember the genuine fear and paranoia in the first half of the 1980's that nuclear war was imminent?, you were responding...

Sounds like a perfect evening, Corgi. Wish I could've joined you. I spent last night listening to Tiny's Rarities CDs - more marvellous stuff from NSC's musical missionaries...

Yes, yes, you keep banging on about this like it's a willy-waving contest or something, but the fact is that in the early 80's the threat was real and sustained. The Cuban Missile Crisis probably was the closest we've come to a nuclear war, but that was a brief spark. In the early 80's, the...

Ha! And I was critically aware that I should never look at the blast of a nuclear explosion as my eyes would instantly melt!

Jeez, yeah; me too. The attack scene from Threads was pretty scary too: I'm not saying that the nation as a whole ran around as if the world was about to end, but for quite a long time, it felt like a question of 'when', not 'if'. Maybe that was down to my active teenage imagination and a...

Does anyone else remember the genuine fear and paranoia in the first half of the 1980's that nuclear war was imminent? It got so bad that at school (Tideway), the headmaster called a special assembly for all pupils to explain that, despite the government's 'Protect & Survive' booklets which had...

I've been listening to Staly's "Live & Shambling Vol I", and it is just tear-inducingly, nostalgically wonderful. You can almost taste the young dreams, the fun, the excitement, the neo-adolescence, and the inevitably disappointing beer as you listen. We were all there, tapping along politely...

Just realised that the youTube clip carries on for 4 minutes but the song actually ends at approx 2.25. Glad you like it though :thumbsup:

Speaking of Joanna Gruesome, they managed to secure some Welsh Arts Council funding for a trip to America to play gigs across NYC at the CMJ week / festival thingie. Here they are last night playing Sugarcrush. (Filmed by Kip from The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, fact fans.)

How about this - beautiful lyrics too.

Two brilliant tracks there, but that Hit Parade song has always really annoyed me for some reason and I have absolutely no idea why. Hmmm. My mate Andy writes an occasional blog and his review of The Fireworks single is pretty bloody good - http://http://afogofideas.blogspot.co.uk/ Can't wait...

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

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

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 :rolleyes:

She also actively campaigned for Thatcher and the Tories. Talentless Twunt.

I bloody love that. *off to search for more*
