That's a stonking tracklist! I'd love a copy please.
By the way, did postie get the USB stick to you and has anything tickled yr fancy so far... so to speak?
The very wonderful, tragi-comic Just Joans.
So, everyone has a revitalised tase for all things 'indiepop'? Look forward to meeting you all at Indietracks next year. 99% certain to be the last weekend of July - book the Friday and Monday off now ;o)
This is awesome:
You can listen to the whole album here - tracks 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are just stunning.

Drowned in Sound like it. A lot:
Joanna Gruesome’s debut record is one in which this Cardiff five-piece manage the rare feat of spanning...
Ooh, you can stream the whole Joanna Gruesome album here:

I particularly recommend tracks 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
They've just landed the support slot on the Los Campesinos! tour. Won't be long till it's the other way round ;o)
Not the most user-friendly introduction to the whole anarcho sound :wink: I remember feeling genuinely quite scared when I first heard Vampire State Building, and Nik Blinko's artwork is terrifying in more ways than one. I went to see one of their rare gigs at the Richmond (in Brighton), but the...
Never heard of Anarka and Poppy, but there were soooo many bands in that scene who barely ever got heard beyond their local following. This site does a good job of remembering them all - http://killyourpetpuppy.co.uk/news/
Have to admit that I hardly ever listen to the anarcho stuff any more...
Hope you enjoy it. What were your faves from Disc 2? I was looking at your post re Disc 1...
The Blue Minkies were brilliant, pretty much my favourite band ever from Brighton. I've got about 33 tracks by them and am meant to be releasing a retrospective thingie at some point, but barely have...
The lovely female drummer beats the crap out of her kit too - probably the best drummer I saw at Indietracks.
They're the sort of band where a slot on the Jools Holland programme could make them huge.
Actually, that gives me a new thread idea...
I love Withered Hand and was going to include 'Religious Songs' on the CD set I put together, but thought it was a tad too 'folky' to really fit the bill. Truly wonderful song though.
I saw Pam Berry's The Pines a coupla years back and they were soooo dull, but funnily enough I saw a bright...
Pocketbooks are mates of mine - they'll be chuffed to be referred to as classic! They've broken up now, sadly, but they're all in loads of other bands - The Fireworks, Cosines, Understudies, various versions of The Loves and their one-offs, Electrophonvintage... I think at one time Johnny the...
I haven't got that. My other half tried ordering it for me as a gift when it came out, but everytime she received an Out of Stock email back. How much are they charging for it nowadays? I could be tempted as it's got some corkers on it and not too much filler.
I might have to travel down for this - Sunday October 6th - Free at the Green Door Store
GUTS ALL-DAYER
Featuring: Fever Dream + Tyrannosaurus Dead + Birdskulls + GUM + The Hundredth Anniversary + Hella Better Dancer + Ides + Bayy + Object Object
I've not seen all of the bands before, but the...
Thanks a lot - I might have that as my epitaph :D
I bought this (Joanna Gruesome - 'Weird Sister' LP) at the weekend and it looks and sounds beautiful; every home should have one.
Might have to go and contribute to the Album of the Year thread, or whatever it's called.
This ties in perfectly with this thread - some great old shots:
