Wrote sleeve notes for forthcoming Rough Trade indie pop compilation today. Although I take issue with the inclusion of Daisy Chainsaw, Ride and PWEI, and CANNOT BELIEVE there’s no June Brides, gotta say it reads pretty damn fine…Talulah Gosh, Heavenly, Marine Girls, TV Personalities, Beat Happening, Wedding Present, Orange Juice, Josek K, Shop Assistants, Pastels, Desparadoes, Fizzbombs, Popguns, et al…

Anyway, Charlotte said I should post the following quote up here, talking about TV Personalities: “The terribly sad ‘Look Back In Anger’ is nostalgia as only young people can handle it: trauma heightened by inexperience, regret tempered by deep longing.” Er, that’s it.

My painting has turned out scary. Psycho killer scary.
