Some of the tracks have less than perfect sound quality as I transferred them from my old cassettes to the PC. I'll include any information I know about the bands and the songs. I will put some music on here again but it may not be that often. I intend to give you stuff that you can't get anywhere any more.Blog Authornoreply@blogger.comBlogger571100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3358263686241798275.post-16317116141778882011-08-16T17:27:00.003+01:002011-08-16T19:20:34.420+01:00

This is my last post for a while as I'll be off doing some voluntary projects around the world. These haven't been uploaded by me but are ones that I was glad to find. The Jackofficers - Digital Dump is a weird album from Gibby Haines (Butthole Surfers and Al Jourgensen (Ministry, etc.). It's more electronic/ industrial that the BS's stuff but I think it's weirdness makes it an interesting

From Irishrock.org, "Wonderful indie pop band formed in early 1989 by the three Finnegan brothers, evolving from an their earlier band called The Nobody’s. Another brother James Finnegan managed them and footed the bill for the recording and the first pressing of 250 copies of their debut single, released through Danceline Records. This single was famously championed by John Peel. It is more

Hi. Just a note to say I've put a concert on one of my other blogs, which I have posted on for ages. Click here to see it. I don't know if any of you responded to my last post, but if you did, thanks for seeding part 2 of my mixtapes. I still don't have part 1, so please seed if you have it. Thanks a lot.

You may have seen that I deleted my disc with all my music on. I have now realised that I didn't back up my OT's John Peel mixtapes - volumes 1 and 2. If any of you have them, can you please seed them again as I put so much time into making those files and it is very sad to feel that I've lost them all again. If you can help me with this, thanks a lot.

This was a band, that, in my opinion, were very underrated. I have loved them since the first day I heard them but they only lasted two albums. Fortunately, for those of us who liked them, they released many other songs on their singles but they are impossible to buy now. But, I've made a compilation of all the singles from the We Are Puppets album, which totals 15 songs. They have all the A and

I feel like posting stuff on here again. Mainly because I have some stuff that isn't on sale anywhere or otherwise available and I feel it is my responsibility to share it. So, following my Family Cat post recently, I told you I'd lost some of my music. I got some of it back from the link I gave you put their Peel sessions are very hard to find now.

Sounds like a Grandaddy reference but it's actually about the above-mentioned band. It's very hard to find their stuff these days but after buying some stuff online and tracking down songs that other peole have uploaded, I've put together an almost-discography but I know there are many other people out there who'd like to hear their old stuff again.

A song I wrote in 1990, recorded on a 4-track in 1993 with vocals and guitar and layered on bass and drums in 2009. Before now, I don't think anyone else has ever heard this song! (It never got used for the band.)

Here's a video (sort of) that I put together using the lyrics and cover from the cassette of this album. I'd posted some McCarthy songs before but thought I'd show you this too. It has lyrics that are very relevant to society today even though it was released in 1990.And this is another of my songs, an instrumental, with a simple video to accompany it on YT.I'd appreciate any comments and ratings

This is the first half of an interview recorded for Australian radio around the time of the release of "Meat Is Murder". It was released on a picture disc, which I bought ages ago. Whereas nowadays it would be easy to get hold of such things, back then it was quite a rarity to hear something from foreign radio.Anyway, it's about 20 minutes long (this first part) and saved at 64kbps as it's only

This is the name of a fairly short lived band from Chicago. They were active between 1993 and 1999. The only song I knew of theirs was Divebomb, which is a great indie-pop number that would go down well at any good indie disco. I'd recommend them if you're into The Breeders, Pavement or The Flaming Lips.As my account with fileden has reached the limit again and the other site I use for individual

A My Bloody Valentine-inspired song from 1990 that I still like, especially the guitar riff.I only played this live once at our first gig (PFS was the band name).

I'm currently listening to the songs from the all-time Festive Fifty of 1982 and as it is actually made up of relatively few bands, I thought I'd look at the figures and see who were John Peel's listeners' favourite bands from back then. If you have seen the chart you will easily see that Joy Division must come out top. I added up the points depending on the chart positions like 1st place gets 50

Gorky's were quite a quirky band from North-West Wales. I used to work with someone who knew these guys, although I never met them (we were working in Spain at the time). I saw them live once, in Wolverhampton, at The Varsity, where I had also played quite a few gigs. Gorky's were something different to say the least. They sang in both Welsh and English as you will hear from the songs posted

Gumball were a band that came into being around the time of the grunge era and even though they were a kind of indie-rock band with songs often based on guitar riffs, they didn't really sound quite so dirty as the bands over the other side of the States. They were from Washington D.C. and were led by Don Fleming who had already been in bands during the 80s such as The Velvet Monkeys.Here are two

...is indeed a strange lyric but that formed the chorus of the title track of the last album by Beat Happening. This was a three-piece band from Washington state who mostly recorded on K Records. They were very minimalistic and lo-fi, not even using a bass guitar or anything more than a basic drum kit. However, their songwriting more than made up for this and came across well over the course of

I know absolutely nothing about the band except that, from the below YouTube clip, they played a gig recently...

Superchunk are a 4-piece indie rock band from North Carolina, USA. They formed in 1989 and I knew some of their music via Peel in the early 90s. I liked their songs as they were quite happy sounding and they kind of had their own sound, mainly due to the distinctive voice of the singer, Mac McCaughan. They are still going and have now released 14 albums, the most recent in 2004.I'm only really

After posting a song by Tiger a while back, I had a request from Yoko Casionos for the live set by them that I have. As a reminder, Tiger were a band from the southeast of England and were active between 1996 and 1998. They were a great, different kind of indie pop band who didn't fit in with any style at the time (and still wouldn't and I like that way of thinking...)I bought their first album "

KoD were from London and were together between 1986 and 1996. They released 4 albums but never really got too much coverage on the radio or in the music press. What got my attention was The Chart Show's Indie Chart, which had one of those 5 second clips of their single "Elephantine". As often, this was enough to know if I would like the songs. It had also proved useful, I remember, when I heard 5

This is a Peel session from 1987 and has a kind of post-punk sound. The Dog Faced Hermans were from Scotland and became based in Amsterdam for a while before they finished in 1995.

Quickspace formed in 1994 in London. They were originally called Quickspace Supersport when John Peel started to play them. They have a connection with Th' Faith Healers through Tom Cullinan who writes most of the songs, sings and plays guitar. I got into them when I heard their single "Friend" and they also released one called "Rise" which was cool but the version below is from their Peel

Hello everybody. It's my birthday today so I'd like to give you all (or at least Pixies' fans) a listen to another remix I did featuring many songs by the same band. I'm pretty happy with this and I hope you enjoy it, too! Please let me know.*Link now removed*

Madder Rose were from New York and recorded melodic alternative music during the 1990s. Their most well-known song was probably "Swim", being their second single in 1993. They have been compared to the Velvet Underground, Lush and Juliana Hatfield.These songs, which are live, features another track that made the Festive 50, that being "Car Song". Madder Rose split up in 1999.Car SongLights Go

Loop were a British band, recording between 1987 and 1990, that tied in with the shoegazing and Jesus and Mary Chain style of indie rock. I only had their "Fade Out" album (1988), which these three tracks are from.We can assume that they chose the name Loop because their songs all featured a looped section of music but they used them quite effectively to make good songs. Also, I guess that this

O.k. a slight deviation from the R.I.C theme. Last week, I had an idea to try to write and record a complete album in a week. I've been writing songs since 1989 for bands and for myself so I wanted to see if I could do something decent very quickly. I've uploaded the songs to my ReverbNation page. The songs are in a kind of indie-pop style.You can see more info on the project there and listen to

This was a cassette given away free in a music magazine called Lime Lizard (as Kieran corrected me) in 1993. It's a good mix of indie pop and rock and here are the 5 songs from the A-side. On the B-side was a track by Earth, which just trudges on for so long that I couldn't be bothered to wait till it finished! Anyway, have a listen to the rest of it.Velocity Girl - CreepyPond - AgathaDwarves -

I'd decided to finally put some of my songs on the web. I recorded them some years ago with the intention of writing songs that sounded like nothing else. I wanted them to be not connected with any genre or time and some of the sounds were used just because I thought they felt right.There are 4 songs to listen to and I would appreciate it if some of you joined me as a friend and left your

So, the other day here, the Loveblobs got 5 of their songs from 1992 finally played on the internet then yesterday on Radio 6, Marc Riley coincidentally played their Peel session from the same year! An amazing coincidence considering it's been 15 years since any of these songs were recorded. Of course, I had to inform the ex-Boy Lard about this and he read out my email. Now, other than JP, Mark

I posted one of their songs near the start of this blog and since then, Colin Todd, from the band, has been in touch and sent me 5 album tracks. Here's his summary and a photo that he also sent me.The Loveblobs were: Paul Thorpe - Vocals/guitar Tim Holdcroft - Guitar Col Todd - Bass/vocals Tim Cedar - Drums We recorded 2 mini lps for Wiiija in 1992: Congealed + Extraction (Combined as

Right, I'm back after bringing back loads more music, although I still have lots more to post from my R.I.C folder. This one is kind of a bastard offspring of the Butthole Surfers (I'm sure they won't mind me putting it like that, knowing what they are like!), which features about half of the band. It's quirky yet funky.Hear the Jack OfficersIf you don't know who the Butthole Surfers are, here's

What's that you say? They're not rare? John Peel didn't even like them? True and correct, but you won't have heard these remixes before because I did them. I also put together the videos so they are for all the Roses fans who visit here.Remix of songs from the first albumThe Second Onion Terror mixRight, I'll be away for a week now as I'm going back to England to pick up some more tapes and

I declare today the international Happy Flowers Day. Why? Well, these 2 guys made 'songs' that were quite unique. Yeah, they used guitars and drums but they made a hell of a noise! And the vocals? Well, imagine what it would be like to hear 2 completely screwed up children shouting about every problem they had over all the noise! I loved this band, who were probably only played on the John Peel

The Snapdragons were also active in the late 80s and early 90s. They were English and this song was about the "Our Tune" feature on daytime Radio 1 (I think by Simon Mayo). It was the first song on my Alternative Classics Vol. 3 and...it goes like thisThe rest of the songs were as follows:The Wedding Present - Don't Talk, Just KissThe Becketts - The Most Beautiful Girl in TownMega City Four -

You might think "Why not list Vol. 1 first?" Well, I have no idea where that tape is or what was on it! But I have this one so this was what I put on, of songs from 1989 to 1990.McCarthy - Governing Takes BrainsThe Family Cat - Final MistakeBirdland - RageHappy Mondays - Wrote For LuckThe House of Love - I Don't Know Why I Love YouThe Jesus and Mary Chain - Between PlanetsThe Wedding Present -

I was a big fan of Tiger, although it seems they were a love or not-interested-in band. Their first album "My Puppet Pal" was out in 1996 and this song came before it as a single but didn't appear on the album. Unfortunately, they split up after releasing just 1 more album. I still like how energetic and happy their songs sound and I was always surprised that some people actually didn't like

The Nightblooms were from Deventer in the Netherlands and released this song as part of a package of 2 A sided singles (I have number 492 ;)) in 1992. Peel played a few songs by them, which kind of mixed a twee sound with a shoegazing sound. This one is a good representation of them and they probably remain my favourite ever Dutch band... True, 2 Unlimited aren't really any competition for

Well, having said I remembered this song, I decided to record a version of it as faithfully as I can remember it!I also looked up Fish Karma and found it wasn't Black Francis but another guy who has recorded a few albums. You can find out more about him on his wikipedia page.I've also now heard a sample of the song and it doesn't sound like the version I know so maybe someone else did record it,

This is a truly brilliant song. Early 90s again, I don't remember hearing other songs by them but they released an album called Congealed.Listen to Soul Station

Hi, and welcome to my blog. First of all, I'd like to talk about copyrights of the songs which are linked to here. Most of the songs are more than 10 years old and didn't sell many copies when they were released. If you have an issue about whether they should be allowed to be downloaded, think about the fact that no money is being made from them here, they are linked to because I think they
