I was about to write that I didn’t know who Pseudo was but just checked Discogs and it’s none other than Grant Nelson and Norris “Da Boss” Windross! This may well be one of those tunes that you’ve heard a million times but never knew the name of. Lovely track…

A lovely 80s track from Talk Talk who released some great tunes. They’re one of the few bands from that era that actually had excellent albums as well as quality singles. In fact, album-wise they got better after they became less popular. Their later efforts “Colour Of Spring” and “Spirit Of Eden” are lovely chilled out albums that I recommend highly. This single was released in 1984 and still sounds lovely today.
You can see the original video on YouTube but EMI wouldn’t let me embed that here. They were a funny looking bunch.

Wicked indie biz from Sunderland’s The Futureheads. I think they just had a new album out which I need to get round to checking out but this is taken from their first album. They’re probably best known for their cover of Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love which is a shame as they’ve written some great music of their own. I was gonna put up Carnival Kids but couldn’t find a version on YouTube that wasn’t a live recording. I’d definitely recommend grabbing the first album if you’re into this…

I haven’t posted much rock or indie for a while so will make up for that with a few more guitar based posts. Sparta were formed by a few members of the now defunct At The Drive-In, who released the awesome Relationship of Command album in 2000 (others from the band went on to become The Mars Volta). Sparta released Porcelain in 2004 which contained a load of wicked songs, this just one of them but it’s well worth giving the whole album a listen as it’s top stuff.
