'they're only the band Shed Seven could've been...'

She Comes In The Fall (the end always flows into Carter's 'After The Watershed' in my mind)
Move
Caravan
Joe
This Is How It Feels
Biggest Mountain
Two Worlds Collide
I Want You
Dragging Me Down
Generations

any classic album tracks i should download while i'm in the mood for ropey wurlitzer-fuelled indiepop?

The theme tune from the 8.15 from Manchester.

I think that was called "Find Out Why"

All the early singles were ace. I only wish I could remember what they were called.

If we could POX, their "Best Of" wouldn't sound so patchy. With the ol Inspirals, you can only pick 2:
She Comes in the Fall
Fuck it, was going to add "this is how it feels", then realised you can only pick 1.

They did help provide the inspiration for one of the greatest football chants ever:

"This is how it feels to be Burnley/ This is how it feels to be sad/ This is how it feels when your sister's shagging your dad"

that one with mark e smith was my first introduction to mark e smith. i have never, in the years that followed, voluntarily heard a fall record.

Hello the guy who quit!

So fucking drunk now, Lily Allen at top volume...I hope I die this way.

what a way to go.

three years pass...

I've recently been listening to the Inspirals for the first time in ages. All their 12"s & EPs up through Life-era tracks are generally fantastic. The later records lacked the rhythmic simplicity of their early stuff, which is what I like best about their sound (other than the Hammonds obv).

^ 'Keep the Circle Around' was the one Inspirals song I really liked. Wouldn't have sounded out of place on a Flying Nun comp. A+++ song. No-one else on this thread mentions it though.

Okay, I have just listened to that again 3 times in a row -> still fucking great.
