Retro sounds for retro rides...

[sylvain]

I have to admit I have a penchant for early 90's Indie music ... Thousand Yard Stare, Sultans of Ping FC

Where's me jumper!


Began to get into indie music around 90-92 so that period works well with retro bikes.
The best of the lot were the Boo Radleys, Ride, Field Mice, Auteurs, My Bloody Valentine, Swell, Catherine Wheel, House of Love, Ride, Pixies, Rollerskate Skinny, Sebadoh, Teenage FC, and a few that I forget. Oh and the best band in the world Guided by Voices

Quite like listening to Teenage Fanclub when I'm cycling, although either of the last two Brendan Benson albums are getting a lot of play lately

Question to the Ben Folds fans, which is your fave album?

Hi stu,

I have only one, the Reinhold Messner one. I really like.

I have everything Portishead and like Roseland NYC most.

Must agree! Had a drink with Beth Gibbons in a bar in Bristol circa 1994 before Dummy came out, played as a 3 peice with a double bass at the time.

Her album 'out of season' was my sound for summer 2003, when I was in Berlin.

Never had a drink with her

Singletrack Summer days have to be accompanied by Aphex Twin, Selected Ambient Works.

There are two songs that are firmly imprinted on my mind when talking old school and bikes.
