I am 36, I realise my age wont mean much to you or this thread but it sets a scene.
I read on nme.com that a couple of gigs are happening to celebrate the 20th anniversary of C86, I appreciate that only a handful of people on here will have heard of C86 and a few less will actually have heard it. C86 was initially a covermounted cassette that the nme put out in 1986, later getting a vinyl release. It comprised of indie bands from that time who were categorised under shambling as peel called it or jangle pop or indie pop, but following that release, c86 bands.
Primal scream had velocity girl on there, the soup dragons appeared as well as the wedding present. Mcarthy who fragmented into stereolab and indie stalwarts half man half biscuit and the pastels. My personal favourites were mighty mighty, stump, the wolfhounds and the fantastic therese by the bodines.
I read this week that finally this will be getting a cd release very soon and this is fantastic news. Outside of dennis Wilson second album I cant think of any other release that I have wanted to come out on cd more.
Unsure what the point of this thread is so have changed my mind and going to stick it my blog.
