I posted this on the C86 thread, but I might as well spam this thread too. My band have just released an album, so if jangly indie pop by a Brighton fan is your thing?:

Thanks.
I'm actually going to be in the UK next month (I get to go to the AMEX for the first time for the Seville game :)) so I'll be bringing some copies over with me. So, if people want a copy of the tape just PM me your address.
Well, New York pop fest was great fun. The stand outs were The Spook School, Wildhoney, lunchbox, Catenary Wires, Pale Lights and the darling buds.
Oh, my band just released an album:

The architecture tour on the river is excellent, and a great way of seeing the city. Go to a baseball game, wrigley field is a cool old stadium but full of frat boys and people who don't actually like baseball (and y'know f**k the cubs) so for a genuine experience go and see the white sox. Going...
I don't know if anyone has posted this but there is an indie pop compilation organised 'indie pop shop' which is a facebook group. 50 tracks for $3 and all proceeds go to unicef. Some good tracks.

Hi there fellow pop fans. Here is my new band, and a couple of very rough tracks recorded at a practice. We play our first gig on Wednesday, so if anyone is in Madison, Wi?

<mod edit> Tsk. On behalf of our American chum, I'll...
Here is the set list from the show, and a link so that you can play the songs.

Next show (in a fortnight) is a Spain special. If you know of any older Spanish bands from the 80's please let me know :)
Well, the first show was nerve racking and a few mistakes made....here are the tracklistings and a way to listen to the tracks we played, with out putting up with the inane rambling inbetween!
Next week (Wed at 2pm) A Wales special...
bad news, the radio show is cancelled as the DJ who does the slot before us didn't turn up and he has the only keys!!! Ha ha it should be on next week instead!
So, the first show starts tomorrow (wednesday) at 2pm UK time. You can listen online at www.wsum.org the show is called one, two, twee. This week is going to be a Australian special. Will be doing a brighton special soon :)
So, I've just become the co host of a twee indie pop radio show in Madison, Wisconsin. So, if anyone has any suggestion of any newer bands I should play! I should also point out I've no money, so any free MP3's would be great. If any of you lot are in a band, send me a MP3 and I'll play it :)...
Rodgers, Martinez, Wenger, Pulis (!) all could probably do a better job.
I think this is missing the point. You are right that the root problem of England's failure is not the managers, due to poor youth coaching etc it means he does not have world class players or simply players who are...
You're right: as much as I think that R.H has done a very poor job, there are not many English managers out there who seem to have the talent to improve things. This is very depressing!
I don't buy your second point though, just because other teams have failed doesn't excuse our failure.
This...
Well, if I had the choice I'd go for Jamie....on the grounds of his missus.
Couple of questions:
1) If a team in the premier league had the best squad of players but came last....who would you blame?
2) Do you think the any of Costa Rica's players would get into the England team?
I agree...
I'm staggered that 65% of people think he should keep his job. He has been terrible. Ignore all the stuff about coaching in England and the lack of world class players....that's a different argument (and one that should be addressed). Roy Hodgson's job was to pick 20 people and get them playing...
