49: Ten Tracks from my 1996

I heard the Bluetones’ Slight return’ in a cafe yesterday. This brought back instant memories of my period looking after an elderly day in rural Suffolk. In honour of this here are some tracks that evoke this period and my first few months in my graduate trainee librarian post.
I got into most of these thanks to Mark Radcliffe and his night-time shoe in Radio 1. Kept me sane in this period!

1: Richard Davies- Sign up maybe for being

2: Bluetones-Slight return

3: Super Furry Animals- Hometown Unicorn

4: Combustible Edison- Alright already

5: High Llamas- Sparkle up

6: Divine Comedy- Something for the weekend (saw this on Top of the pops!)

7: Fire Department- Achaeopteryx

8: Ben Folds Five- Underground

9:Lionrock-Fire up the shoesaw

10: Urusei Yatsura- Kewpies like watermelons

And bubbling Under-

Minty- That’s nice

Delgados- Under cover under wraps

And some oldies but oh what goodies!

The Impressions- This is my country (from excellent reissue of two late Impressions albums 'This is my country' and 'The Young Mod's forgotten story'

Beach Boys- Cabinessence- From another great 'double feature' reissue of 'Friends' and '20/20'

Young Holt Unlimited: California montage
Wigan Casino story Vol. 1 (my job allowed me to develop my budding love of Northern Soul!)
