Phew! Writing exams must be ergonomical suicide. My hand still hurts! Exams should be banned... or at least they could allow us to type them. Or maybe I just need to learn not to clasp the pen in despair! Incidentally, here's another death-themed one (chosen long ago). Malaysia's Ferns released one of the best albums of the year not long ago, on Fruit Records from Singapore who released Mocca's My Diary in 2002. (I just found out Mocca released a new album too, early this month, and three tracks are playing on their MySpace!) I really love Ferns' album On Botany although the sleeve is a bit too impractical (fake grass!). They remind me a lot of Majestic 12, and the singer sounds a bit like Scott's vocals on the Majestic records. I'm planning a radio programme with bands from Asia and other faraway places, and there will be more from Ferns. Thanks to Isman from Fruit who allowed me to post this. Cheers!DROP 63

Hi Chris,
Was wondering if you could help me with a bit of swedish indie pop. I've just listened to 3 bands from an early 90's compilation (grimsby fishmarket)and was hoping you may have some information about them.
They are Mary Go Round, B.J Eagle & Happydeadmen. All top quality stuff. If you have any other stuff by them is there a chance you may put them up on your site. If you want a copy of the compilation let me know
Many thanks
Richard
hi!
unfortunaltely old swedish indiepop is really hard to find in sweden. i've only heard about mary go round cause i've seen records on ebay. b.j. eagle i've never heard of, but happydeadmen are legendary as "the first swedish indiepop band". i had one of their songs on a show last year, i think. their first album "eleven pop songs" is a classic, but i still haven't got it... if you think it's a got comp, you're very welcome to send me a copy!
cheers,
chris
Chris,
I don't mind doing you a copy as long as you post a few tunes from it.
I'm not sure what stuff Ally from Sombrero has sent you but i have about roughly 20 Reserve demo's. I know you like them and in my opinion are along with Emily one of the great lost bands.
If your interested i can send you the stuff not on "In Strangled Orchards". Let me know
What is your address?
hi!
send an email to therainfelldown@kittymail.com and we'll work something out :)
Classics - A Decade In Pop is a compilation of Happydeadmen's material and is still available in the Labrador Shop.
