Thus is the kind of thing that I unstinctively went for in 1986. Polite Indie that was on Creation. Liked Television, The Velvet Underground. Poetry and Penguin paperbacks. Was made up of people who either wrote or could have written for the NME. Had good fringes shirts jeans and shoes,
This wasn't a hit as it should have been and Alan McGee was obliged to look elsewhere. I saw Weather Prophets at the Hammersmith Clarendon. Supported by Pop Will Eat Itself, The Servants and a notably lairy and unhinged Happy Mondays. I liked the Weather Prophets but instinctively knew they were too polite to go where they wished to go, It doesn't stop me loving this any less.
