Indie Kids
Posted by: Harris V on 24 July 2002
I'm a big late 80's early 90's indie fan, both US and UK varieties (everything from Stone Roses to Pearl Jam), but have been struggling recently with purchases of new material. Has anyone bought anything inspirational lately, I don't want to live in the past any more?

I think you might need to give us just a little more to go on Harris.

Wheat - Hope and Adams

Electric Soft Parade - Holes in the Wall
more when I can remember them

I remember various raves about both Doves and Electric Soft Parade. Can someone recommend places to start? I heard a Doves track on the radioi the other day and thought it was very good.
FWIW, I was going to recommend the Wilco (thanks to Bruce). The wife really likes it too (we don't cross over too much!).

Doves - I prefer the first album (Lost Souls) at the moment but Last Broadcast is growing on me. Both have this kind of epic scale that I really like.
ESP only have one album AFAIK

I will definitely give those a try. I already have Nixon and was thoroughly disappointed, i just thought it was boring. Is the new Charlatans album any good? I did not like their last offering but loved the rest.
Matthew - Sorry i was in a hurry.
Someone had the indecency to suggest that i was out of it and getting old! Most of my music collection comes from the late 80s and early 90s and most of that is indie/grunge and some rock. What i was trying to say was what modern stuff do you think i would like - i don't seem to have time for the radio any more (alas i don't have a car). Hope this helps.
