Not going as well as hoped- thanks though Tiny.
Here's homage to a different Bob from the great HMHB

Despite not being a Brighton fan, I have been present at several memorable Zamora moments courtesy of my dad, who is. Including his hattrick (debut?) at Chester and his impossible chip at Bury.

So Indietracks 2015 has come and gone with nary a mention on here! Shame about the rain on Friday and Sunday, but I enjoyed The Luxembourg Signal, the bits of Tuff Love I got to see, Evans The Death (finally better than a recent iffy London show), The Leaf Library were good too, wish I'd seen the whole set. It was difficult to fit it all in, but still a great atmosphere...

Quote from my little boy: "Would you like to see the owls?" "If you mean birds, yes, if you mean a band, no"....

The rain was a bit of a pain, but I still thoroughly enjoyed myself. Highlights for me were the superbly hypnotic and shoe-gazey Fever Dream, great noisy sets from Flemmings and Ethical Debating Society in the church, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart who'd I'd not listened to for ages but played a cracking, crowd-pleasing headline set on the Saturday. The Fireworks and The Luxembourg Signal were both fantastic and both went down a storm on the Sunday, and The Go! Team were a wonderful, hyperactive way to bring it all to a close.

Next year is the 10th Indietracks - you should all come along . I have as much fun just 'hanging out' and chatting and drinking and forgetting about work as I do watching the bands.

This is bloody good, and lots of love for the Fireworks after the first song.

Hey Hallways. Been listening to this today, and it's great and free / cheap. For fans of Gold-Bears, Bright Ideas, and noisy, tuneful pop.

Been having a huge clear out since Monday and became all emotional finding this little fanzine from The Big Twang days. Articles inside on The Mekons, Microdisney and Ten Million Quentins. A struggle to read parts of it through varifocal contact lenses. Never a problem in my twenties! We were clearly spoilt- what a great selection of bands for November and December.

Good, isn't it? I'm contemplating whether I can justify the postage for a vinyl copy from Canada.

And what are they actually doing in that video? It's like hockey but with no sticks. Is it some obscure Canadian roller skating girls pushing each other over sport? If so we should have it over here to.

"left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier." OK, if you say so. So Confetti are spikiest of all.
