500 Greatest Albums of the 1980s ... Ranked! # 125 The Pastels - Up For a Bit With The Pastels

 


Another Glasgow band inspired into being by The Ramones and Subway Sect in all probability. The Ramones enabled and empowered people to create, You can imagine the tatty, slipshod state of the bedsit flats they wrote and rehearsed these songs they wrote and rehearsed these songs on. Wine stains on the carpet. Hand knitted jumpers knitted by loving and slightly concerned Aunties. Wearing at the sleeves. Starting to unravel. A cool, wilfully inept album that makes the early Velvet Underground come across like polished pros.
