You've just made my day
Aye, it is one of those tunes...
"Even if they never made another record, they'll have achieved more than most of us do in our entire lives" - John Peel (Gawd bless him).
Papau New Guinea
Amazing record... though it would have been nothing without Dawn of the Iconoclast by Dead Can Dance.

Shop assistants? Who? This is getting into geeky link territory
Shop assistants > The Pastels > Teenage Fanclub > Captain America/eugenious > The The Vaselines > Nirvana best festival hour - in daylight! - check out the stage dancing!! - they were slicker in '92

Weekender was a great tune to play on a Friday night whilst getting ready for the weekend mash up
Forgot about the New Fads as well. Fantastic band.Posted 2 years ago # -
theboatman,
Me and my missus had a pact that if one of us died that would be played at the funeral - only I'd have the Neil Young version
Something more mellow - Little Fluffy Clouds
Classic covers:

There must be something about indie bands and cycling. To Carter USM and Jesus Jones I can add Half Man Half Biscuit:
(and I'm sure there are some other obscure references in their lyrics)
When they played Cornbury last year Nigel's opening words were "Andy Schleck - outside bet".

Yep MartinXYZ has it right with the highland bike shop owning Shop Assistants/Pastels member.
For me, though, it's gotta be Sonic Youth

Dammit, going to be up for hours after this thread!
Carter were keen cyclists, iirc.
Fruit bat was a roadie and used to get dropped off on the tour and ride the last bit to a gig! I was on one of the Carter vidoes, stage diving. The clip made it on top of the pops!
Bit poppy for my taste but the old school vibe made me remember the Miltown Brothers!

Becoming offtopic, but... Squarewheels wrote: "Btw.... Noteeth, after Carter went their own ways, Fruitbat set up band called Abdoujaparov"
And they were AWFUL
Jimbob brings the words, Les brings the guitars, that's the law. Break the law and bad things happen. The School album, and "Maria's Umb-a-rella". Respect the law, and you get another 2 Carter reform shows next month. Quick Carter story- I know a guy, let's call him Robert, because that's his name. Robert is one of the world's great Carter obsessives, but due to bad timing never saw them live first time round. So, after years of quiet fanboyism, Jimbob acoustic shows, Abdou gigs, Who's The Daddy and Jim's Super Stereoworld albums and whatnot, Carter reform, and Robert has an unexpected chance to make his life complete! We all get tickets for the Barras... Robert gets a little excited. His whole life has been leading up to this moment! This is going to be the best night ever! Let's have a drink to celebrate! And another! Why not, another! And then he gets kicked out of the gig before Carter come on, and have to listen to the show through the air conditioning vents
Once in a blue your dreams come true...

thanks everyone, for taking me back to some great times. And for 'wasting' a full hour of my time when I should have been doing other things.
here's a few more to the pot:
(appears to be from Wogan?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sdaph3r_Gg
and they've done better songs but I had to post this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEzl16L4998&feature=related
and another from the late great John Peel's festive fifty (how I miss that man). I also think the only time a flexi disc made #1? Anyone else remember these Palace fans?
Posted 2 years ago # -
and jeez, how did I miss this (OK, was 80's but wgaf)
Also file in the 'make the hairs on your neck stand up' category. Stunning live.

I'm feeling the love from the other Space Cudette posting up there - just wonderful live.
Jesus Jones - how good did Info Freako sound when you first heard it?
Just to give the old indie kids something else to fill their day:

memory lane!
anyone remember ultra vivid scene?
the pale saints?
I was a big carter fan. I remember seeing them in front of 200 in some dingy club in oxford and then 18 months later in front of tens of thousands at Reading festival.
