    Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

    That chap was known as 'Lighthouse' to many people. I think he might have been viewed as a slightly dull 'hanger-on' or 'wannabe'. I can remember at least 5 or 6 occasions when I was working at Virgin and chatting with various 'scenesters', DJs, band members etc and they'd run away to hide...

    Also, as the Basement has been mentioned a fair bit, here's a (fairly naff) mini-doc filmed when it closed down in 1996.

    I've got the Grooveyard / Ever flexi copied to MP3, both songs are great and I think The Grooveyard were probably the most entertaining local band from that era. Can I post sound files on here? This was another good local flexi release: http://iwishiwasaflexidisc.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=crocodile

    You must've lost a bucketload on that particular night!

    I definitely saw The Chesterfields at The Concorde, but I'm not sure about The Richmond... possibly. I remember that it was pissing down on the night of The Charlottes gig and I thought twice about going. I'd really been enjoying the album though so decided to drive and nurse a single pint all...

    Yes, I was there. It was pretty dismal. Weren't Brighter the support band?

    And this, is just truly spine-tinglingly wonderful; Minisnap - New Broom I love it so much because it's just the defintion of perfect pop, and they don't care that they're old and uncool, and the whole Bounce Around album is wonderful and can be bought cheap on Ebay... and I have a right old...

    That's a great shout - always preferred Josef K to Orange Juice. Let us not forget the New Zealand contingent; The Chills - Rolling Moon. Saw this lot in Brighton 5 times and they were always fantatstic. The Clean - Anything Could Happen. I remember buying ticket #2 to see them at The...

    I think I responded to you on Anorak re the 'Meet up' thread... assuming that's you? The Golden Valley site is a rip off re prices over the Indietracks weekend, but it's a lovely place to camp and it's a great little walk to the festival site - plenty of folk heading the same way usually. I'm...

    Very nice. I'm making notes for the compilation I promised you; are you more a fan of the 'quieter, less abrasive' stuff rather than the 'noisier, more raucous' stuff? Simply put; are you a Sarah fan or a Subway fan?

    Thanks HKFC. What did the Amazon Fairy deliver this time? Well well well, Jem Stone himself :) Got any other goodies you'd like to post? I had a massive scrapbook full of flyers and tickets and stuff which I unceremoniously puked on one Christmas after over-doing the plonk. Other casualties...

    Best Albion keeper?

    Peter Grummitt for me too, but I'm probably biased as he came to my primary school on sports day and signed my Topical Times football annual.

    We've made a fanzine for Indietracks in that classic 'cut & paste' style; looks lovely.

    The Returned - Chl 4 Sunday (en français)

    I hate it soooo much when they do that. We are adults and don't need hints and snippets of next week's episode. If your drama is good enough we will be back. Grrrr! The revenants are all hungry except Simon. None of the revenants wanted die (as far as we know) except for Simon. Or did he...

    Good stuff! will you be dragging a bunch of mates along? I went all alone to my first Indietracks, but it's a very friendly crowd and I had a bloody great time.

    ITV Daybreak do you deliberately wind up the working people in this country?
