The Birth of Uncool

 [CD86] Song of the Day: Primal Scream – Velocity Girl

I still intend to write something about C86, because I too want to step on the bandwagon pulled by Bob Stanley’s CD86 compilation. For the time being, I may as well link to a pretty good article in The Guardian on the movement, written by Nicky Wire of Manic Street Preachers Fame, who apparently has been a big C86-fan for the full twenty years. (And that makes me wonder: is it fair that I never really cared about the Manics?)

More on C86 at Indie MP3.

By the way, I would really like to be able to link to mp3s of songs that I write about, and will probably start doing so in the near future, but since we still don’t have broadband (because apparently, it makes sense to deliver a modem a few days after the broadband goes live…) you’ll have to find the mp3 yourself for the time being. Sorry.
