Wow i hear you cry that was fast! Well yes but its always quick the first few times!!
Here goes comp number two hope you like it and i hope maybe there are one or two bands you may want to check out more of.
Heres whats on it.....
BoxerBears Vol2
1. The Real People - People on the Telly (Great driving song and appears on many of my home made compilations and I never get bored. Released in 1997 as a single, I never got to see the Real People live but have nearly everything they ever released. Strange!)
2. Blue Aeroplanes - Yr Own World (Bought this on 7" during a trip to the shops during a scout camp! Another hugely underrated band with Langleys weird have talking have singing voice. Get either Beatsongs CD which this is from or Swagger which has recently been re-released)
3. BIS - Eurodisco (Wasn't ever a massive fan of BIS although bands like Los Campesinos and Mistys Big Adventure seem to be nicking their style in recent times. This was unlike anything else they did and is quite brilliant in a eurodance type stomp way.)
4. CUD - Down Down (Cover version of "Ver Quo" that was released on the NME Ruby Trax album. CUD were brilliant pop purists from Leeds. They have recently re-released all of the albums and all are superb. Saw them in Tunbridge Wells last year when they reformed and were still brilliant, Buy everything!)
5. Marion - I Stopped Dancing (From the seminal This World and Body LP from 96, Saw them live at the Waterfront and were really good. Shame they split after a mediocre second album. Guitarist Phil Cunnigham went on to join New Order which I suppose if you had to go to another band is a decent choice!!)
6. Catherine Wheel - Shallow (One of their earliest songs, Ferment is one of my fave cd's. again the Norfolk link is here and so I saw them a number of times firstly at the Arts Centre in Norwich in about 1990 and lastly at the Duchess in Leeds in about 98. Great track reminds me of Mark Goodyears evening sessions!)
7. Kitchens of Distinction - When in Heaven ( From the Death of Cool LP great song, never sure which genre KOD came under but released some great records. Fact - Lead singer was called Patrick, there were only 3 in the band and he now records under the guise of Stephen Hero)
8.The Stairs - Flying Machine (I bought a couple of stairs EP's once as they were in the reduced section in Lizard Records and having listened to I have no idea why, Sounds like it was recorded in the late 1960's and in Mono, a weird little band who if released this today NME would be all over them and geniuses)
9. Power of Dreams - Slowdown (From imo their best LP 2 Hell with Common sense a fine piece of Irish punk pop, dont know much but I know Boxsetgo has posted some other material before, so check it out then get on ebay!)
10. The Fieldmice - Sensitive (I bought a Fieldmice tape years ago and really wasn't sure if I liked them or not. Over the years I realised I really do! This is the second single on Sarah Records)
11. Thousand Yard Stare - Wildshire (Hands up I only bought the first ep cos of the football reference (0-0 AET) but was glad I did, Have everything they ever did and no doubt will post other odds and sods in the future. Fact - Saw them play an extended set at the UEA when James cancelled, lots stayed to watch as well.)
12. Chapterhouse - Breather (A Band that seem far more popular now than when they were together. Lumped in with the Shoegazing scene they had far more vision and ability than their contemporaries. This is from the great Whirlpool album)
13. Spitfire - Superbaby (First came across them supporting Blur in 1991, seemed good only released 2 EP's as far as I am aware this was the lead track on one of them a good indie rock tune. Fact - My mate Wilkie having seen them proclaimed them to be better then Blur, He was wrong!)
14. Magoo - Red Lines (are fine) - (A song from the first Magoo album proper and again a band from the "Indie backwaters of Norfolk" Have released a varied and innovative set of albums and EP's, this from about the 5th EP.)
15. The Fall Guy Theme Tune - Not exactly in keeping with the compilation but I love this song and you will be singing away by the end of the song. Lee Majors is a legend!)
