yesboyicecream // worst taste in music

#3 was originally released in october 2005 - thanks to the label's aggressive (but involuntary) anti-capitalist stance, i will have several hundred unsold copies to sell pending any suburban kids revival or anniversary show

no problem - i just thought you might know something about getting entries to the race

why do people think you're a bot?!

How do I get an invite into the race?

It does feel like a long time ago, I just hadn't given much thought to the actual scale of aging that must have taken place since it happened...!

Still Unravished - A Tribute to The June Brides (YBI01) Tribute album to The June Brides with liner notes by Everett True and Dave Eggers.

“What the fuck just happened?” Quite possibly the indiepop Last Waltz, that's what. A few words on the morning after the 'Sensitive' launch gig | Pete Paphides Get more from Pete Paphides on Patreon

Clare Grogan? Talulah Gosh? The Soup Dragons? The Loft? The Sea Urchins? The June Brides? Debsey and Rachel from Dolly Mixture? The Waltones? Beth Arzy doing Shop Assistants? Can we call it the indiepop Last Waltz? I'd say so. www.patreon.com/posts/what-f...

"As part of the hackathon, we also invite you to bring any visual memorabilia with you that you are happy to have scanned and archived as part of the project: flyers, posters, zines, gig listing pages."

Catalogue all the very-terrible-but-badly-missed Dublin venues of the 90s + 00s

Poster says: "Where was that again? Help us put your favourite venue, record stores, rehearsal spaces and more on the map."

So many of Dublin's musical spaces have disappeared over the years + now the Live Music Mapping Project (LMMP) is trying to capture the past and the present of Dublin's rich musical history.

2025 marks 20 years since SKWBN's Jullåten 2004

"And you know those little kids eyes
There is a robotic must have little line
If you don't get that PS2
In schoolyard it's gonna be goodbye for you, goodbye
But even the bullies celebrate Christmas, they do
I have a feeling they do"

They also had 2 copies of A Different Beat by Boyzone. We're veering towards Mikey Graham.

Who. lives in a house like this? They own THREE Men at Work albums...

everything else in the collection is Phil Collins, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel (and hypnotist Paul McKenna) and then ... The Pipettes - would love to find out how it ended up there!

Currently nosing through a contents auction from a house in Balbriggan - loads of high-end recording equipment AND a "large collection of cds".

Trying to identify whose house it is from the cd collection and noticed they have a copy of "We Are The Pipettes!"
