Yesterday morning felt like a burlesque of Christmas day. After an unsettled night, I woke up with a childish sense of anticipation. Not for presents, but for destruction. I didn't want it, but after hours of disaster porn on the news, I confess, I wanted...something big to show for it. Happily and anti-climactically, so very little was in evidence. Wet streets, a few little branches and leaves on the ground, nothing falling from the sky. A few minutes to organize my perversely conflicted reaction, and I decided [...]
This podcast is, as you will already know, very, very late. Personally I blame a combination of the RNLI, gin, and the fact that Mrs. Toad is away all week, which meant that yesterday wasn't really available for blog things. It's also not very new music-orientated either, so hopefully those of you who come here pretty much just for that won't be too disappointed. I think what happened was that I got so into a handful of new releases recently that I neglected all the others, so when I came to sit down and write about [...]
In the March 2008 issue of Mojo, there was a sprawling article on the Smiths. But if you look a little closer (on page 75 to be exact), you'll find a list of bands that were predecessors, contemporaries, and influencers on Morrissey, Marr & Co. These "indie" bands, oft classified as C81/86 or as part of Sarah or Postcard records, shared some of the jingle and jangle of the Smiths, without the spotlight. While some of the bands may remain in their cult status, others I must admit, I did listen to occasionally or often: Wild Swans, Orange [...]
To mark the 25th anniversary of the cassette that launched a genre, Test Pressing is streaming NME's C86 Mixtape.

How can I do Peel Sessions and not mention the most famous indie band from Paisley ever? Time for local heros Close Lobster then. Mostly first noticed due to their inclusion on NME's C86 tape with Firestation Towers, that landed them a deal with Fire Records - who on a side note seem to shaft every artist they work with, as far as the horror stories I've heard about them go. Only two albums to their name, Foxheads Stalk This Land and Headache Rhetoric, along with a handful of singles. Word has it that there's a [...]

Very special episode of Danger Radio. We play the legendary and rarely found C86 album in it's entirety in order. Along the way we discuss the bands and what it all means to myself and my co-host Jake Ryan.

Seattleites have been blessed with quite a lot of good record stores, and most of them thankfully are still in business. Our luck in having so many outlets in the city to spend money on records may be tenuous at best, but as they say carpe diem. That is exactly what Chris Mac has done by starting up a new record store / mail order. The store is called Jigsaw Records , and is due to open it's doors here in Seattle this Saturday. As I said, Seattle has more than its fair share of [...]
MM like many millions of others loved the first MGMT album. So yesterday MM (along with many, many other blogs) posted the new, free advance track from the forthcoming MGMT album, which comes out via Columbia Records on April 13th. The song was freely available via the excellent Stereogum and we, like many others, simply posted it on MM as well. It's pretty much the norm in the world of fair-minded music blogs as far as we can see. You listen to a [...]
Let's make some plans - Close Lobsters I know very little about the Close Lobsters, and have concentrated pretty much all my listening to them on this one particular song. And what a song it is. I probably would have passed over it if i wasn't once hit with the realisation how great it actually is, listening (as i do with too many things) to it passively or with too many distractions. It is a pop song. Everything amazing about it should be on [...]
Continuing the series of tracks and words as found on the CD The Indie Scene 1986 , a compilation released in 1992. mp3 : Close Lobsters - Going To Heaven To See If It Rains (Fire BLAZE 15) Possessing a wicked vocal style and well-crafted lyrical edge, Close Lobsters are yet another indie legend who disappeared long before they had time to fulfill their promise.'Going To Heaven' tells just part of the story, if you ever get the chance [...]
A Place To Bury Strangers' new LP Exploding Head is shaping up to be one of our fav releases of the year.. and not just because of the name. "In Your Heart" has rightfully gotten hold of our attention for its pop sensibility yet powerfully cold composition. And in the spirit of "In Your Heart", dig on this classic from Close Lobsters. These cats, who even opened for The Jesus and Mary chain back in 1986, rule! "Nature Thing" was recently re-released this month on a new singles collection titled Forever Until Victory and [...]
Allmusic describes them as neo-psychedelic jangle pop, the Trouser Press said they established a distinctive sound above the din of C-86 janglomania. Others claimed they were part Orange Juice , the Church , Only Ones and Echo and the Bunnymen . Whatever the case, Scottland's Close Lobsters were stuff of which legends are made. Unlike so many other bands that get labeled with the C-86 tag, the Close Lobsters were actually on that hallowed NME cassette. Their song Firestation Towers was included on the compilation, and soon after they [...]

A Record Store That Knows My Name
Seattleites have been blessed with quite a lot of good record stores, and most of them thankfully are still in business. Our luck in having so many outlets in the city to spend money on records may be tenuous at best, but as they say carpe diem. That is exactly what Chris Mac has done by starting up a new record store / mail order. The store is called Jigsaw Records , and is due to open it's doors here in Seattle this Saturday. As I said, Seattle has more than its fair share of [...]

Why Stupid Columbia Records Make MM Want To Scream
MM like many millions of others loved the first MGMT album. So yesterday MM (along with many, many other blogs) posted the new, free advance track from the forthcoming MGMT album, which comes out via Columbia Records on April 13th. The song was freely available via the excellent Stereogum and we, like many others, simply posted it on MM as well. It's pretty much the norm in the world of fair-minded music blogs as far as we can see. You listen to a [...]

Let's Make Some Plans
Let's make some plans - Close Lobsters I know very little about the Close Lobsters, and have concentrated pretty much all my listening to them on this one particular song. And what a song it is. I probably would have passed over it if i wasn't once hit with the realisation how great it actually is, listening (as i do with too many things) to it passively or with too many distractions. It is a pop song. Everything amazing about it should be on [...]

A Place To Bury Strangers - In Your Heart and Close Lobsters - Nature Thing
A Place To Bury Strangers' new LP Exploding Head is shaping up to be one of our fav releases of the year.. and not just because of the name. "In Your Heart" has rightfully gotten hold of our attention for its pop sensibility yet powerfully cold composition. And in the spirit of "In Your Heart", dig on this classic from Close Lobsters. These cats, who even opened for The Jesus and Mary chain back in 1986, rule! "Nature Thing" was recently re-released this month on a new singles collection titled Forever Until Victory and [...]

What Is There To Smile About?
Allmusic describes them as neo-psychedelic jangle pop, the Trouser Press said they established a distinctive sound above the din of C-86 janglomania. Others claimed they were part Orange Juice , the Church , Only Ones and Echo and the Bunnymen . Whatever the case, Scottland's Close Lobsters were stuff of which legends are made. Unlike so many other bands that get labeled with the C-86 tag, the Close Lobsters were actually on that hallowed NME cassette. Their song Firestation Towers was included on the compilation, and soon after they [...]
