You know how folk on Facebook are doing this "10 albums" thing? I& #39;m enjoying seeing people I know from back home picking the same LPs. Floodland, by the Sisters, was a massive Clackmannanshire record. To paraphrase @reversediorama, it was tough being Andrew Eldritch in Alloa.
Re that last tweet, here, for the Alloa, Alva, Tullibody, Menstrie, Sauchie & Fishcross heads, are ten Clacks bangers. These are the songs you& #39;d hear at the alternative nights in Teejay& #39;s, and sometimes at Peppe& #39;s. The legendary Rockers& #39; Rave Ups I knew less well ...
1) Temple Of Love - Sisters. 2) Freak Scene - Dinosaur Jr. 3) REM - Stand. 4) Kennedy - Wedding Present. 5) Debaser - Pixies. 6) Alternative Ulster - SLF. 7) The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary. 8) The Passenger - Iggy. 9) Heartache - Gene Loves Jezebel. 10) Spellbound - Siouxsie.
