......made me think of this lot, the best pop band to ever come out of the country that gave us Volvo, IKEA, Bjorn Borg and Henrik Larsson.I've a whole bundle of their singles and LPs on the CD shelves. Took me ages to decide which one to feature. In the end, I went for Part 1 of the single that has a lyric that contains a line that gave the name of one of the first blogs I ever hooked on to in a meaningful way and which was a real inspiration when I was starting up TVV.
So today's posting is dedicated to Adam from PLILAS. Oh, and if you read this amigo, there is room at Villain Towers if you want to come up to Glasgow in July or August for one of the Blog Rocking Beat nights. Indeed, there's a guest slot behind the decks if you fancy.....
mp3 : The Wannadies - Might Be Stars
mp3 : The Wannadies - Cherry Man
mp3 : The Wannadies - Lee Remick
mp3 : The Wannadies - Love Is Dead
The other reason for plumping for this CD over the others is the cover version of a the Go Betweens track - the coverage of their material on a long deleted but fondly remembered music blog was another great inspiration for meeting putting my fingertips into motion.
And here's the promo:-
Happy Listening.

Can't stand the Wannadies myself.
Ho ho ho.
Fantastic band, obviously.
The chances of me getting away are astonishingly slim but I would be there if it were at all possible. I will keep my eye on the very unlikely chance of something turning up. Play some Wannadies for me :) x
The Wannadies, how fantastic! This has made my day.
