Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

I was at that but remember finding both bands a wee bit insipid. Did Pop Will Eat Itself play that night too, or was that another Mighty Lemon Drops gig? Hmmm...

I keep thinking of / finding stuff to post on here, but never seem to have enough time. But for now, this is all kinds of ace.

A Bartlebees cover thrown in too - what more do you want?

Quite possible that Pop Will Eat itself were there too. My memory is never the best but lots of concerts around that time where you would get three bands playing for a ridiculously cheap price. A great time to be a student in Brighton.

New Frankie Cosmos song bodes well for forthcoming album:

Very nice. He was the star of the Nottingham All-dayer in October apparently. Here's a couple of classics from there.

I like that but for some reason was surprised to see they are from the USA. Dunno why, but it sounded... European.

Speaking of Pam Berry, this still makes me tingle most pleasantly.

Robert Forster's son has a really badly named band who make good songs. Well I never.

Brilliant! Saw The Loft play in the summer and pleased to say he still has it.

They do look like they should be Belgian don't they?

But surely "this is a love song for a girl who'll never know it's about her" has to be an ultimate indiepop line?

That's a pretty intellectual line up there. I think both Petes are University lecturers now.

Hmmm. Three piece band, tall thin one, short tubby one, female drummer. Let me think...

Every time I see this screenshot I can't help but think it looks like the detestable Katie Hopkins - on the fiddle, if you will.

You are indeed correct. It looks great, but I can't believe that the Pete Dale book goes for 95 quid, and even the kindle version is 90 quid. Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

C87 anyone?

Ah, it's an academic textbook you see, not meant for the likes of us. I might get it out of the University Library at some point.

Don't know if anybody else has read the David Nichols book on the GoBetweens, but Amanda comes across in it as quite a nasty piece of work...
