Indiepop ain't noise pollution.
Now listening to the Slits Peel session from 1977. Bleeding hell. How have I not listened to this before.

What I'm trying to say... the 45 years since AI did "Happy Birthday" feels like no time at all. The extra 10 years to Bolan - before I can remember it happening - feels like centuries ago in comparison.

This could be the best thing I've heard this year....

The misplaced pride.  And let your existence be the resistance  Be the resistance  Illuminate what's tender  Illuminate what's wise  (Swallowing lies as history repeats) Don't let yourself surrender to feeling occupied  (The lack of surprise within these defeats) And as you see him being let off all the hooks  (Illuminate what's tender Illuminate what's wise) Remember there is more, more to life than crooks  (Don't let yourself surrender to feeling occupied) And as you see him being let off all the hooks  (Illuminate what's tender Illuminate what's wise) Remember there is more, more to life than crooks  (Don't let yourself surrender to feeling occupied) There's more to life than crooks

I wish I could, wrong end of the country. There's 4 different decades of 'my' bands on that flyer... I was a teenager when I saw 14 Iced Bears, Lande probably wasn't even born then.

Share a photo of one or more of your music reference books 📚💥🎶
#MusicChallenge #MusicSky

Let's try this again, this time with actual reference books 😀

Ditto, mine are all over the place. Just realised the original post was supposed to be 'reference books' and completely missed them out in my photo...

Spot on!
July 3, 2025 at 8:14 AM
Think I can only duplicate one of those...

And why waste the photo I dug out and then deleted... 23 years ago next week I probably drank too much at this ballboy gig...

Apologies to those who saw my quickly-deleted post, where I managed to get my MacIntyre/McIntyre mixed up. But both Colin and Gordon were and are brilliant 😀
April 4, 2025 at 2:47 PM
Yeah so have I today, and yeah, it sounds brilliant!

I got a 'libgenwhack' result too...

I should add.. I really didn't like this LP for years, and now I can't stop playing it.

Perhaps you've listened to "Under The Blacklight" in the last month... surefire winner to put you on the Fleetwood Mac trail, I'm told. Total bollocks, of course.

Saying.... "Really?"

I must have been missing those Wheatsheaf gigs :)
