One of the main reasons I bought Accident's reissue of the Hoopla tape was to get my hands on that Reserve track. It's a fantastic, languid number and the best song on the LP together with The Siddeleys and North of Cornwallis tracks. Al who had the Sombrero label (Reserve, Siddeleys, Bob) has started a blog (see Dustysevens in the link box) which you should keep an eye on if you like these bands. Here's "Last Train" from the 1989 La-Di-Da compilation.
thanks ever so (again) for unearthing these treasures and sending them on their way, and the kind words. "the last train home" was definately one of torquils finest moments - i'll let him know it's here. sombrero releases can now also be found on myspace - www.myspace.com/sombrerorecordings. i'll be adding photos and ramblings as i go, and changing the tracks regularly - feel free to add anything you find there here. and drop me a line again with an address where i can send you some "well done" presents.
This was a combined blog and radio show about POP! music. I started the blog when I moved to Glasgow and it ran during my stay there. We broadcast weekly from Glasgow University's Subcity.org. The shows are catalogued as SPLASHes, and you can still listen to all of them. There are also some rare or hard-to-find indiepop gems for download, and these are labelled DROP. Have fun while it lasts!
or any encouraging words you might have, can be sent to this address. But it'll be a whole lot easier to just leave a comment! I won't check the mail too often. If you've got more general ponderings, such as "what's all this pop stuff about anyway?", your questions might be answered by the manifesto I wrote some time ago, for better or worse.
