My ears can no longer pick up the high frequencies - sounds like an acoustic ballad to me?

ha.
To, be fair, there IS a decent song underneath all the noise, but frankly its too much trouble to try to hear it.

I've never loved J&MC, just had a general affection for them.
Darklands is one of my favourite albums of all time. Some stunning tracks. I do require a bit of musicality in it all though - 3 minutes of feedback isn't my thing.

1. Just Like Honey
2. The Hardest Walk
3. Upside Down
4. Never Understand
5. April Skies
How often do I listen to them? Not very, apart from number one which is a great song which got a new lease of life for me after I watched Lost In Translation.

I distinctly remember the first time I heard Never Understand - John Peel Festive 50 1985 - it was the first time I had ever been scared by music. Did not know what the hell was going on. Menacing. Cannot listen to more than 3 or 4 tracks on Psychocandy in a row though.

My girlfriend was playing that OST the other night and I went very quiet when it came on. Felt all gooey.

Some great tracks on the OST - not appropriate for a C86 thread, but I just love Too Young by Phoenix. On one level, it's pure cheese, but, on another, it's pure class. Not sure how that works.

If any of you are into the less jangly side of C86, there are also a couple of good compilations:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Commercially-Unfriendly-Various-Artists/dp/B000BGH1BE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374264618&sr=8-1&keywords=commercially+unfriendly
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Death-Trad-Rock-Various-Artists/dp/tracks/B002NV9A6O/ref=dp_tracks_all_1#disc_1
The latter one is an accompaniment to a decent book by John Robb about the awkward, shambling side of the scene.
No Bogshed though

These are quite hardcore albums - not good for yoga. Ironically, the second one looks like a mock-up of a Bogshed album.

Think this might have been the club night set up by Alan McGee which someone referred to back in the thread...

We've made a fanzine for Indietracks in that classic 'cut & paste' style; looks lovely.
Looks great Flex.
I've had the morning off in the sun, to mooch about GunWharf Quays. Yaay.
Just back in to work for the afternoon, to find that the Amazon Fairy has been again. Yaay

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 included a boxed game of Risk and a stack of MaximumRocknRoll magazines which would probably be hugely collectable and valuable nowadays *sigh*
