WHAT WE PLAYED AT THE 90s INDIE NIGHT

WHAT WE PLAYED AT THE 90s INDIE NIGHT

As requested by Rebecca on the forum: not in order, and only about half complete (my memory of Friday is a wee bit patchy). The crowd loved it, honest.

THE GOOD

THE SHAMEN - “Love Sex Intelligence”
BLUR - “Girls And Boys” (this may be my imagination)
THE PRODIGY - “Everybody In The Place”
THE PRODIGY - “Out Of Space” (twice, under threat of death from my brother)
MC TUNES FEAT 808 STATE - “Tunes Splits The Atom” (”vocal domination like Hendrix on strings” indeed)
WHIGFIELD - “Think Of You” (has dated better than 90% of tunes below)
THE KLF - “3 AM Eternal”
THE WEDDING PRESENT - “Kennedy”
PULP - “Razzmatazz” (& probably “Babies”)
RIDE - “Twisterella”
FLOWERED UP - “It’s On”
PARIS ANGELS - “Perfume (Up To You)”
PM DAWN - “Set Adrift On Memory Bliss” (a slow dance!)
PIXIES - “Debaser”
DINOSAUR JR - “Freak Scene”
SAINT ETIENNE - “Only Love Can Break Your Heart”

THE BAD

THE SHAMEN - “Phorever People”
JAMES - “Come Home 12″ mix”
STEREO MCs - “Step It Up” (curiously a very slow track)
THE LA’S - “Feeling”
TEENAGE FANCLUB - “Norman 3″ (awww)
BLUR - “She’s So High”
ALTERN 8 - “Evapor-8″
EAST 17 - “Steam”
HAPPY MONDAYS - “Wrote For Luck” (really porridgey)
BOO RADLEYS - “Lazarus” (completely fucked up by foolish attempt to ‘mix’)
REM - “The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight”
PAVEMENT - “Cut Your Hair”
CREDIT TO THE NATION - “Teenage Sensation”
BOMB THE BASS - “Bug Powder Dust” (now sounds really feeble)
PRIMAL SCREAM - “Come Together” (ghastly Gillespie vocals version)

THE UGLY

THE WONDERSTUFF - “Don’t Let Me Down Gently”
JAMES - “Laid”
CARTER USM - “After The Watershed”
KINGMAKER - “Ten Years Asleep” (we’re sorry, Tim)
FRANK AND WALTERS - “Fashion Crisis Hits New York” (may have been a nightmare)
I know we played something by the MISSION, God help us.
THE GRID - “Texas Cowboys” (different from Rednex how, exactly?)
STAR TURN ON 45 PINTS - The B-Side of “Pump Up The Bitter”
JESUS JONES - “Real Real Real”
JEFFERSON AIRHEAD - “Funny How” (proof that there is no God)
INSPIRAL CARPETS - “This Is How It Feels” / CARTER USM - “This Is How It Feels” (a spine-chilling medley c/o Pete)

THE INEVITABLE

JAMES - “Sit Down”
PRIMAL SCREAM - “Loaded” (completely undanceable then and now)
EMF - “I Believe” (about sixty times as I remember: still as shit as ever)
SULTANS OF PING FC - “Where’s Me Jumper?” (”and my friends will be so, so angry…”)
