Edwyn Collins on Vic Godard (The Guardian - August 22 2008)

Edwyn Collins on Vic Godard

"When you mention Vic Godard, everybody still goes 'who'? Only the real cognoscenti know who he is. I first met him when I was stood outside the Lyceum in Edinburgh. He was playing with Subway Sect, along with the Slits and the Jam, but Subway Sect were my favourites. I asked if I could carry his gear in. I didn't meet him again until 1991 or 1992. Geoff Travis put us together, and I produced Vic's album End of the Surrey People. Paul Cook was his drummer by then, and he was a bit cagy, a bit protective. He thought I was taking the piss."

Barbican Arts Centre EC2Y 8DS

Take Three Girls: The Dolly Mixtures Story (UK 2008 dir. Paul Kelly): a girl group playing beautifully written pop at the end of the '70s, Dolly Mixture were almost ignored when the Slits' more angular approach was in vogue, yet became an inspiration to the riot grrl scene of the '90s.

Lawrence of Belgravia (UK 2008 dir. Paul Kelly)

4 November 2008

Barbican Arts Centre EC2Y 8DS

Lawrence of Belgravia (UK 2008 dir. Paul Kelly): Birmingham-born Lawrence (no surname) formed Felt in 1980 and ten years later they had become a major influence on 'indie' bands. He then split Felt to start Denim and later Go Kart Mozart. Wilfully eccentric, Lawrence had always seen himself as a major star, and is one of the greatest living songwriters never to appear on Top of the Pops.Lawrence Of Belgravia may well explain why.

El artículo de este blog es realmente bueno. Cuenta porque Hurrah! fueron tan importantes para los fanzineros (Kevin Pearce, Matt Haynes) de mediados de los 80 y se centra en el choque del ideal juvenil con el inevitable paso al profesionalismo.

The MacGuffins - "Rich Together" 1988

Carlos, este es el grupo del que hablamos el domingo. Keith D´Arcy la incluyó en esa recopilación que va circulando por ahí llamada "A Sandwich and a Sweeater". Lo único que se sabe de esta banda es que son de Melbourne y que editaron un single en 1988, según twee.net

"Country Music (Songs for Keith Girdler)" Siesta Records 2008

The compilation was put together by Richard Preece (Lovejoy) with love and admiration for Keith Blueboy, to raise money for the Martletts Hospice in Hove who looked after Keith so well.

Some of the other bands on the comp include: The Wake, Club 8, Pete Fijalkowski, The Clinetele, The Orchids, The Times, Biff Bang Pow, & St Christopher...


If you would like any further information on the compilation, please email Dick Preece on snowboundipc@yahoo.co.uk and PLEASE buy a copy... Downloads and music sharing is all good and well, but maybe not when it's for a cancer hospice.

Thanks to Dick for making this possible!!
