Used Records For Sale/Auctions/Wantlists / Re: WTB - Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque

I've got the original lp somewhere. Haven't played it for over 20 years probably. "Star Sign" is great though. My flat-mate at the time wanted to swap me the first lp for this, but I already had the best track ("Everything Flows") on single, so no deal. He did manage to steal my copy of Simple Minds last good-ish lp ("New Gold Dream") though. Remember him being baffled by "Spiderland" and "Yerself Is Steam" when I bought them in '91. And for buying "No Pocky For Kitty" instead of "Nevermind". I stand by those choices. Never bought another TFC record since, but was quite impressed when they got to back up Alex Chilton a few years later. We threw snowballs at Norman Blake one Christmas in Sauchiehall Street. He threw some back.

I didn't get the impression reel to real was getting deluxe treatment. Just a remaster. In which case I'll just stick with my copy. If there are,bonus tracks I might  reconsider

12 bonus tracks [on the cd - DL only for vinyl]. 27 November.

Still like the first album the best, but most of their stuff is good-to-great. She def has a good view on all the shitgazing and whatnot. Wow, it's been 10 years since that first one came out. It was one of the last CDs I bought new, near the end of my run in Cleveland. Took a chance on it and then listened to it incessantly. Picked up the second press of the LP at a show years back. Never heard the last album, I should check it out.

These are two of my favourites from the last lp. Real nice early-Fall / Una Baines feel for my money. Got The Fsll's "Early Years" lp when I was about 14. I'll respond like one of Pavlov's dogs to a catchy tune and a crappily recorded organ sound. Why does no-one mention Blue Orchids on here? They were/are incredible. Bramah / Baines are the only ex-Fall members I can think off who went on to do stuff as good as the mothership.

Understand if it's too twee for some on here. But, hey, I dig Comet Gain too (they even had a song titled "Una Baines" on the criminally underrated "Howl Of The Lonely Crowd" lp).

"Don't Go To Liverpool" (cool Beatlesmania vid too)

Bought Vol. 11.

Will not be splashing out on this.

I only like Mouse & The Traps anyhow.

Right on! "A Public Execution" for the Sony execs.

Me too (vol. 11.- eventually after price dropped slightly.)

Did you see High Moon are giving the deluxe treatment to Love's "Reel To Real"? I'll be up for that.

What happened to Revenant's Crime box set, "Evidence"? Anybody?!

Nice to post a Dylan thread on Termbo. None more punk - or baby-booming bastard?

Anybody in? (Smithsix?!). Shocking price - as to be expected - but could be bought  / get the DL / and flip for a profit when it surely sells out?

Not doable for me anyhow.

that heat >>> http://www.theransomnote.co.uk/music/articles/do-look-back-the-strange-spell-of-cold-storage/

That reminds me my friends' band got compared to This Heat by Everett True, nonetheless: http://www.collapseboard.com/song-of-the-day-2/the-return-of-everett-true-44-for-food/
I think he has a point, though of course an exaggerated one. He enjoys a risky comparison. Everybody loved the part where he said the band is "the anti-Radiohead". I'm still baffled by how little success they managed to squeeze out from a review this positive. But I'm partial to the band since I have a sentimental thing with the bass player. I'm featured on the record too, albeit it would be way better if I wasn't.

There's a lot of Everett True (as The Legend!) on the new Creation records early years cd box set. Which is the only thing putting me off buying it. (I don't mind cd's and I want all those Meat Whiplash radio sessions and demos). He really is a deluded fucker, and still milking that Kurt Cobain connection.)

Just been to see Band Of Holy Joy promote their new "Land Of Holy Joy" album. Knew next to nothing about them - I was there for The Cathode Ray and Lola In Slacks (who didn't show). Very impressed. A couple of the faster tracks were even reminiscent of Una Baines-era Fall, which I was certainly not expecting. They ripped the roof off the place at their most intense.

Anyone hear the news about David Cameron fucking a dead pigs head when he was a student? Expecting a Ben Wallers track referencing this any day now, but here's the great Jock Scot's "tribute" based on an obvious Beatles track.:

Find the little downward-pointing arrow icon on each track. Press.

Unless he decided to stop making them downloadable, which is possible.

But although you couldn't download the entire set in one file, which is also a setting, I was able to do each track separately, which only takes another minute or so.

I picked up the tape (w/ bonus acid sheet/poster), but I'm still listening to the files cuz I am lazy etc.

Thanks! I googled around and got a program called "Soundloader" which allows you to DL anything on Soundcloud whether it's DL enabled or not. I didn't see the DL icons earlier, but that just maybe my stupidity. Anyway, sorted. I've now got some Vic Godard rarities on Gertie Grocott's Soundcloud to snaffle, and then who knows? The worlds my lobster. Oh, right, Close Lobsters demos maybe.

You can d/l each song individually from the soundcloud. That's what I did.

BAND TO WATCH

Hey Erick, how d'you download tracks from Soundcloud?
Only option I get is to "add to playlist". (But, hey, recordings could be taken down at any time.)

I am clueless...

Pretty sure I've also seen one of Charles Hayward's friends dressed in her business clothes smoking crack inside a telephone box outside on the same night.

Best. Message. Board. Ever.

Thanks. TNV were my favourite band in the whole world for a while. Even got to see them live. (Brilliant.) Their last album was their best. Wish I didn^t miss them. I'm too old for that kind of thing and should know better. But I do.

Someone's trying to sell their first cd-r on Discogs for $70 bucks. I heard 'cos it's on my 'want list'.

"Monkey Puzzle". That's where I'll start. Thanks. Was speaking to a couple 'aquaintencies' (spellings to fuck sorry) outside after the gig. Edinburgh 'guest list' types out killing time. Knew next to nothing of the Saints, but loved the gig. One of them said "he's a star", meaning Bailey. Had to agree.

Not so clueless I guess given the premium price paid.

"Clueless Ebay Buyers" would make for a better thread. Some of us might even be 'named & shamed'.

Saw Bailey recently frontng a new three piece (but not remotely "power trio") version of the Saints at a sparsely attended show in Edinburgh. Started off hating it as it was clear straight away that none of the intensity of the original group remained. Kind of grew on me as the night progressed and I accepted them for what they are now - a pretty good bar band. Bailey wasn't remotely fat (a surprise), very laid back chatty and charming (another surprise), and now looks remarkably like Paul "Macca" McCartney (who knew?). They didn't play "Stranded", but "This Perfect Day" got a sacriligeously perfunctory recitation. "Know Your Product" was ace though.

I might check out some of the later - non Kuepper - Saints stuff now. (I kept up with Laughing Clowns / Kuepper but not Bailey.) Any recommendations?

I lost my virginity to the Effigies.  "Security."  She got mad when I imagined her head as a taxidermied moose trophy and lost my mind in laughter.  She was 23, twice divorced, two kids.  I was sixteen.  Had raspberry brandy bleeding down the front of my tee.  Great night.

Combing through my old submissions to see how embarrassing they are and kept reading.... This here might be my favorite post on tb. IANMF: the Keats of our time.

A toast to this boast.

I lost my virginity to an incompetent - yet charming - Spanish waiter in Torquay. The moose-head thing, however, sounds strangely familiar...
