Of course, I should be doing what any good magazine editor or DJ would and intersperse the resolutely indie with the more familiar, to ensure that a level of interest is maintained with this series of posts.

However, truth be told, I’m a bit short on time today and only have a couple of songs lined up, so you’ll have to wait for Travis and the Bay City Rollers.

For now, this is fairly obscure, given that the band have split and a grainy live video is all that exists of what may have been their finest moment (though there have been a few – you can download their entire back catalogue for free at www.wisebloodindustries.com – I’d recommend the even-less-cheery ‘In Faceless Towns Forever’ for starters).
