Pre danny mac top tune too

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.

Seems like I did OK with Carter, I'll have another flutter

Indie disco classic

Flowered Up anyone?

Flowered Up anyone?

Oh God yes.

Week… ender[/i].

tazzymtb – Creaming Jesus!! Saw them a few times, think with Every New Dead Ghost? Mate had one of their t shirts which said 'Skin up for Jesus' on the back! 🙂

Just for oo00oo…

De La Soul and Teenage Fanclub.

Love this tune.

How about RIDE live on THE WORD!!

new FADS anyone?
Awesome album.

Pump Up The Volume!

Weekender is a classic!

seeing as how at least 2 out of 3 folk from Jesus Jones/the shop assistants and possibly carter have been on STW,

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
Creation records!

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.

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:
luka
Just like heaven

Echobelly

She soooo cute.

Btw…. Noteeth, after Carter went their own ways, Fruitbat set up band called Abdoujaparov (who I had the honour of supporting in Cambridge ;o)so would tie well in with the Carter/ cycling theory!

There must be something about indie bands and cycling. To Carter USM and Jesus Jones I can add Half Man Half Biscuit:

A Lilac Harry Quinn

(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

vdubber67 -I still have a "skin up 4 jesus" t-shirt and an END-G one, the good old days, sob sob

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

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?

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.

Classic 90s crusty rock

House of Love anyone ?
Christine
Shine On

80's but this realy got me onto the 'Indie' / John Peel stuff…
Furniture Brilliant Mind

What no Inspirals yet? Or did I miss it?

Off to build a 90's indie DJ set on my ipod!

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!

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.

House of love; Beatles and the stones

PWEI; Beaver Patrol

Mondays; God's Cop

Finally; the greatest indie song of all time; Primal Scream; loaded

Can't beat the Mudhoney (I go past Ritzville a few times a year and I always fire it up on the mp3 player).

Verve – All in the mind (before they became THE Verve and all crap)

Senseless things – Easy to smile

Catherine Wheel – Texture

The Family Cat – Remember What It Is That You Love

Cud – I've Had It With Blondes

Pixies – Where Is My Mind?

Bang Bang Machine – Geek Love

anyone remember ultra vivid scene?

Hell yes!
Mercy Seat

And at the other extreme Einsturzende Neubaten – Die Interimsliebenden.
Pure industrial class!

Oh, and this one used to piss off many a Nirvana fan, who'd get up to dance then sit down again 😆
Credit to the Nation – Call it what you want

Jane's Addiction anyone?

Therapy? – Teethgrinder

That Petrol Emotion – Hey Venus

Whale – Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe

Back towards the electronic side of 'indie'

Been annoying the kids with Dubnobassinmyheadman recently in the car
