706 Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque

In this episode, Shawn and Craig delve into two iconic records from Uncut's top 500 albums of the 90s, exploring the timeless appeal and enduring impact of these classics. Shawn spotlights R.E.M.'s "Automatic For The People," a masterpiece that blends introspective lyrics with lush, melancholic melodies. He examines the themes of mortality and nostalgia that permeate the album, discussing standout tracks like "Man On The Moon" and "Nightswimming," and reflecting on how R.E.M.'s nuanced songwriting and emotional depth helped define the sound of the 90s.Craig highlights Teenage Fanclub's "Bandwagonesque," a quintessential power pop album that combines catchy hooks with rich, harmonious vocals. He explores the band's knack for crafting infectious melodies and the album's influence on the indie rock scene. Craig dives into tracks like "The Concept" and "Star Sign," discussing how "Bandwagonesque" captures the exuberant spirit of the era and remains a beloved record for fans and critics alike. Join them as they celebrate these 90s classics, sharing insights and personal reflections on the music that continues to resonate decades later.

On today's episode, I talk to Norman Blake and Raymond McGinley of Teenage Fanclub. Emerging from the Scottish C86 scene of the 1980s, Teenage Fanclub formed out of the ashes of their previous group The Boy Hairdressers. While they immediately garnered positive reviews with their first few albums, released in America on Matador, it was with their third album Bandwagonesque that they broke through to a wider audience. In the thirty-some-odd years since, they've never lost that original creative spark, releasing nine more fantastic albums, and their latest, Nothing Lasts Forever, will be released next month on Merge Records.

When Teenage Fanclub formed in 1989, times were unusual in music, and not in a good way. It was pre-grunge, pre-Britpop and the charts were still in the grip of mass-produced pop (much of it naff) as many 80s bands were struggling to remain relevant (Depeche Mode being the exception). Yet something was afoot across the musical axis of the Eastern Seaboard, Washington Seattle, and Glasgow. Maybe it was something to do with areas of high precipitation joining forces to rain on Stock, Aitken & Waterman's parade. The peak of Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Yo La Tengo, Jesus & Mary Chain, The Vaselines…and very much arriving at that time, The Fannies: “When we first arrived there wasn't really a scene, no context to speak of, we were working in a vacuum”. They were at the very beginning of the resurgence of guitar music - the age of Creation Records and Oasis, Sub Pop and Nirvana - a decade of legend making stories in which you'll find Teenage Fanclub playing a series of rather important cameos. The band consider themselves lucky on several counts. For one, they have never had a hit, no big signature song. And therefore, no albatross. From their earliest days, once they'd made an album, A Catholic Education, they felt as if they'd already made it - having created an album on their own terms - no label and no strings attached. How indie can you get? Except of course, the band had a good run with major labels, first with Geffen in the USA and then later with Columbia Records, after Sony Music had acquired most of Creation. Given their huge influence and reverence among their rock & roll peers, it's easy to ponder could/should/would Teenage Fanclub have been so much bigger, commercially speaking. “We did okay, just not compared to the likes of Nirvana”. But Teenage Fanclub never succumbed to music industry cliches. No massive rise to superstardom? No problem:“We weren't disappointed because we weren't planning to be the biggest band in the world. We're better off being thought of as underachievers”.And so no big dramas, no drug-fuelled implosions - not even much in the way of musical differences (though founding member and principal songwriter Gerrad Love departed pre the making of new album Endless Arcade). Other than that, the band is tantrum-free and as friendly as they were from the very beginning. Indeed, the essence of Teenage Fanclub can't be easily captured by lazy narratives about commercial or creative peaks, as such. Although they've made a trio of fine rock & roll albums in Bandwagonesque, Grand Prix and Songs From Northern Britain, the band has found equilibrium since 2005's Man Made - making consistently excellent albums every five years since, self-funded and always critically lauded:“We're not trying to pretend to be the band we were in 1989, but we have the same intentions, we still feel as excited about it as we ever did”. It's only a band. It's just what we do”. Long may Teenage Fanclub continue to defy rock & roll conventions, all be it through low expectations and increasingly lovely records. Now that's a way to achieve longevity. Support the show (https://www.songsommelier.com)

Neste episódio, dois discos lançados no excepcional ano de 1991. Ambos são de bandas da Escócia. Ambos os álbuns eram o terceiro trabalho dessas bandas. Estamos falando de SCREAMADELICA, do Primal Scream, e BANDWAGONESQUE, do Teenage Fanclub. Os dois foram lançados pelo selo CREATION e foram, cada um à sua maneira, uma referência pra aquela época.

You can wear denim or whatever you fancy to this one because it's Norman Blake. Lovely man of Rock N Roll! We take a trip down Teenage Fanclub memory lane and get stuck into what makes a great band a great sound and brillaint journey. He's got such a iconic voice and the band have such a individual sound. Their breakthrough album Bandwagonesque was my intro to their sound and I've been a fan ever since, like many others. Enjoy! @limehousepod

Jay goes into full rock and roll mode while Deon buzzingly mutters the word “obviously” like sixteen hundred flippin' times. It's all just good, clean fun. "Get into the groove.

It’s no secret that Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard deeply admires Norman Blake’s band, Teenage Fanclub. In fact, he’s called 1991’s masterpiece Bandwagonesque his favorite album of all time; he loves it so much that just a few years ago, he recorded and released a cover of the entire thing. With that album turning 30 this year, and with a fantastic new Teenage Fanclub album, Endless Arcade, out this week it seemed the perfect time to get the two together. For this conversation, the two old friends dive into what their pandemic lives have been like, which includes lots of songwriting and record collecting. They also talk about the joy that comes from being a lifer in the rock and roll business, how streaming has affected all of the above, and how deeply emotional a return to rocking is likely to be for both of them. Enjoy.

No vídeo de hoje, o grande Daniel Moreira nos brinda duplamente: faz duas resenhas em uma de dois discaços: o fantástico clássico de 1991, do Teenage Fanclub, BANDWAGONESQUE, e sua recriação/transcriação pelo líder do Death Cab for Cutie, Benjamin Gibbard, em 2017.

When one thinks of the top rock albums of 1991, undoubtedly certain classics come to mind. Nirvana's "Nevermind." Pearl Jam's "Ten." "Achtung Baby" by U2. Metallica's so-called "Black Album." Guns'n'Roses even released "Use Your Illusion I & II" that year. But when Spin magazine unveiled its best album of the year, that honor went to Scotland's Teenage Fanclub for their "Bandwagonesque." And for good reason. Combining early-90s crunch and distortion with odes to the pop goodness of the likes of Big Star, "Bandwagonesque" is as complete and inspiring as anything else that came out that year. We dare you to listen to it and not be drawn in by the melodic hooks, syrupy harmonies, or the relatable lyrics. Teenage Fanclub may be the most underrated-yet-influential band of the last 30 years. And this album shows why.

El disco que en 1991 arrebató el titulo de "Mejor Disco del Año de la revista Spin al "Nevermind" de Nirvana, el "Out of time" de R.E.M y el "Loveless" de My Bloody Valentine". Para algunos podría tratarse del cuarto disco que nunca llegaron a grabar Big Star. Lo que es indiscutible es que estamos ante una obra de culto para los seguidores de Teenage Fanclub y para los amantes del power pop.

the dates "star" ask again later burger records (2019) http://burgerrecords.11spot.com/the-dates-ask-me-again-later.html The first time I heard Teenage Fanclub—who offer obvious inspiration to new power-pop band the Dates—I was playing an overproduced shoegaze-y album that shall remain nameless when my then-boyfriend burst into the room, yelled, “What the hell is this crap?” and put on Bandwagonesque. “Now THIS,” he declared with great fanfare, “… THIS is MUSIC.” Despite the harsh introduction, he had a point. Although the Dates’ main man Garett Goddard may be better known for punkier/garage-ier endeavors like Personal and the Pizzas and King Tuff, on solo full-length debut Ask Again Later he’s worshipping at that same power pop altar. Like Big Star, Flamin Groovies, Shoes and the Records, his aim is simple and true: he’s here to win you over with unapologetically catchy, strum-y, heart-splattered-on-sleeve-y rock goodness. Goddard’s voice is as warm, sandy and laid back as a day with a boombox on the beach, and he harmonizes about Friday nights, summertime, restlessness, heartache and that Angeleno staple anxiety. The “ooh-la-la” and “ooh, tell me” choruses practically demand listener participation, especially on standouts “Star,” “Any Other Nite” and “Nervous.” A record date with the Dates means classic 70s-style sweetness, but a lo-fi sensibility and big buzzy, woozy guitars (occasionally threatening to veer out of tune) keep the proceedings from becoming too precious. When asked about power pop, Steve Albini famously said “this music is for pussies and should be stopped.” Fortunately for those of us with a soft spot for the softer and poppier (but still powerful!) side of rock ‘n’ roll, it was tougher than it looked. — Donna Kern, LA Record

Norman Blake tells Davie Scott about the making of this classic Scottish album.

We had limited purview. Bandwagonesque was the record we knew, framed by the apparently unforgivable historical fact that any band with any album might edge Nirvana's Nevermind for an Album of the Year designation. That happened. Some still haven't gotten past it. Voting on things brings controversy. But this isn't that album. It's not even that argument. Here we canvass Grand Prix, widely regarded as perhaps the pinnacle of Teenage Fanclub's jangly alt-pop catalogue: not so breakneck as the racer on the cover might suggest, not as European either, come to think of it. But it does sound like a band accelerating in pursuit of the act they're meant to be. Breathtaking, dynamic, harmonious. Buckle up.

Recently, I had the chance to talk with two of the leading lights in contemporary indie rock. First, we visit 19-year-old phenom Lindsey Jordan of Snail Mail, whose full-length debut due next month, "Lush," is one of the most anticipated indie releases of 2018. But when we spoke, Jordan was eager to get past the hype and talk about two of her great loves: hockey and guitar shredding. Next, we met up with Molly Rankin of the delightful fuzz-pop group Alvvays in late April at the National's Homecoming Festival in Cincinnati. She told us about her Celtic folk past, and how studying Teenage Fanclub's 1991 classic "Bandwagonesque" helped her become one of contemporary indie's best writers of melancholy rock songs. 

Bandwagonesque (1991) es el tercer disco de la banda escocesa Teenage Fanclub. Urgencia e inmediatez. Ritmo, ruido y melodía. Muchos la olvidan, la obvian o, incluso, la desprecian, pero la esencia de la música pop es la identificación emocional. La perfección técnica no es necesaria. Incluso la búsqueda de un ideal artístico puede quedar de lado en la hechura de una canción pop. Lo que, suena a paradoja, hace que la música tenga el potencial de lograr ser el arte más democrático, la expresión más perfecta. Teenage Fanclub logró ese roce de la perfección en un disco muy poco pulcro, ruidoso y distorsionado aunque, eso sí, una cátedra de melodía y de ingenuidad adolescente. De canciones inmediatas y vibrantes, guitarras discordantes y voces limpias. De letras mordaces y muy modernas, sin teatralidades ni retruécanos, sobre la vida, la calle, el amor, la frustración. De un sonido hijo de su época pero que toma sin complejos ni miramientos lo mejor de otras. El resultado es un álbum eterno que hace que el corazón de agite y los pies se muevan.

Things get a little ~~heated~~ as our intrepid Sad Moth Podcasters Noah and Patrick go toe to toe over the relative merit of Out of Time by R.E.M. and Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub.  **Warning** This one is VERY LONG and goes off the rails about halfway through as things get contentious over the quality of "Losing My Religion".  Listen with caution!

Almost 12 years to the day, Teenage Fanclub released their third, and some would say best, album Bandwagonesque. To help us dissect the album Spin choose as Album of the Year in 1991 (over titles like Nevermind, Badmotorfinger and Ten) is Andy Derer of The Andy Derer show. Power pop bands like Teenage Fanclub never reached the heights of success that grunge bands achieved, but that didn't stop a legion of Big Star followers from trying.  Songs in this Episode: Intro - December5:44 - History of the Band11:53 - What You Do To Me34:20 - AlcoholidayOutro - The Concept Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review

Felipe Couselo y Diego Cardeña nos traen "Bandwagonesque" de la  banda escocesa Teenage Fanclub.

El concepto es Teenage Fanclub, y usando ese concepto como excusa, muchas otras canciones y grupos relacionados de alguna manera, más o menos remotamente, con nuestros protagonistas. (Por Rafael Llarena) 1.The Creation – “Try and stop me”: Si nos remontamos en el tiempo para buscar los origenes de todo esto, uno de los grupos en los que merece la pena detenerse son The Creation. Partiendo de la psicodelia, fueron de los primeros grupos en hacer algo parecido a lo que luego fue conocido como power pop. Y uno de los primeros grupos en coger ese legado y convertir el power pop en lo que ahora es, fueron Big Star, de Alex Chilton… 2.Alex Chilton & Teenage Fanclub – “September Gurls”: Aquí tenemos a TFC, con uno de sus héroes, en un concierto en Glasgow en 1996. Big Star nunca alcanzaron el éxito comercial que se merecían y nunca llegaron a las masas. Pero fueron uno de los grupos que en los 70, comenzaron a hacer lo que ahora conocemos como power pop y grupos como TFC, R.E.M. o The Posies (Jon Auer y Ken Stringfellow acompañan a Chilton en la formación actual de Big Star) siempre han reconocido su influencia. Y puede que Gerard, Raymond y Norman los tuvieran en mente al formar Boy Hairdressers… 3.Boy Hairdressers – “Golden Showers”: Aquí empezó todo. Por primera vez, los futuros TFC, se unen para grabar un single. Tres canciones sólo, en las que sientan las bases del pop melódico y las armonías vocales que llevarían hasta la perfección años después. Sólo publicaron este single, que fue editado por en el sello 53rd & 3rd… 4.Ramones – “53rd & 3rd”: tres acordes. El grupo de Queens (NY), no necesitó más para entrar en la historia de la música. Punks, antes de que existiese el punk. Ruido y guitarras mirando hacia atrás para coger lo mejor del rock (The Stooges o MC5) y lo mejor del pop (Phil Spector o The Beach Boys). Se dice que el título de esta canción se refiere a la esquina donde Dee Dee Ramone ejercía de chapero cuando era adolescente. Fue está canción la que dio nombre al sello de Stephen Pastel… 5.The Pastels – “Nothing to be done”: Stephen fue de los agitadores más importantes de la escena de Glasgow, dando oportunidades en su sello y organizando los primeros conciertos de alguna de las bandas más interesantes surgidas de la ciudad escocesa. The Pastels fue un grupo fundamental en el nacimiento del indie pop, de los 80 hasta la actualidad. Pilares del movimiento C-86, al coger el espíritu DIY del punk y adaptarlo al pop. Muchos grupos han seguido la estela del C-86, incluyendo algún paisano de TFC como Trash Can Sinatras. 6.Trash Can Sinatras – “Circling the circumference”: No sé si será el agua, el clima, o algún tipo de virus, pero Glasgow tiene algo especial que hace que salgan de allí grandes grupos un año tras otro. De allí son Lloyd Cole, The Delgados, Camera Obscura, Franz Ferdinand, Orange Juice, The Rezillos, Belle & Sebastian, Snow Patrol, Travis o Bobby Gillespie. Como ya he comentado, Trash Can Sinatras toman las bases del C-86 de grupos como The Pastels y Beat Happening y las pulen para crear perfectas canciones pop como esta. 7.Beat Happening – “Cast a shadow”: Liderados por otro agitador de la escena independiente pero, en este caso, americana: Calvin Jonson. Desde Olympia, en Washington, fundó el sello K records y Internacional Pop Underground, un festival reuniendo a lo mejor de la escena alternativa americana y una serie de 7” de diferentes grupos incluyendo a TFC con sendas versiones de Beat Happening y Big Star. Esta canción ha sido versionada, entre otros, por Adam Green y BMX Bandits… 8. BMX Bandits – “No future”: Tras la separación de Boy Hairdressers, Norman pasó a formar parte durante un tiempo del grupo de Douglas T. Stewart (y ha seguido muy ligado a ellos todos estos años). Esta canción en concreto, compuesta por Norman, fue grabada por TFC como “Tears”. Ambas versiones tienen la misma música, pero las letras cuentan la misma historia desde puntos de vista opuestos. Más tarde, Norman volvió a reunirse con Gerard y Raymond para formar TFC, contando con el bandido Francis McDonald como batería… 9. Nice Man & The Bad Boys – “Forever Is A Long Time Without”: Francis McDonald es Nice Man. Su primer disco en solitario fue una opera pop. En el segundo fichó a los Bad Boys para tocar joyas tan intensas como esta. Ambos discos fueron publicados en su propio sello, Shoeshine Records, dedicado al pop y al country, en el que ha producido y publicado a gente como Alex Chilton, Michael Shelley, Cheeky Monkey o Astrochimp, grupo que formaban él y Eugene Kelly de los Vaselines… 10. The Vaselines – “Son of a gun”: Con sólo un par de singles y un disco, este grupo escocés no esperaban obtener la relevancia que alcanzaron años después de separarse. Este reconocimiento les llegó de rebote y de la mano de Kurt Cobain, que los reivindicó como influencia en varias entrevistas. Nirvana hicieron tres versiones de este grupo, esta y “Molly’s Lips” recopiladas en “Incesticide”, y “Jesus wants me for a sunbeam” en el famoso unplugged de la MTV… 11. Nirvana – “Come as you are”: Poco queda que decir de este grupo. Su disco “Nevermind” fue la cumbre de todo un movimiento musical y el responsable de que la música alternativa de los 90 llegara al gran público. En la gira de presentación del disco por Europa, impresionados por el “Bandwagonesque”, eligieron a TFC como sus teloneros. Y si Nirvana fueron el mejor representante del grunge, para muchos el padrino fue Neil Young… 12. Neil Young – “Like a Hurricane”: Otra de las referencias de TFC, estos le homenajearon en el “Grand prix” en mi canción favorita de los escoceses “Neil Jung”. TFC también incluyeron versiones de Young en sendos singles (“Don’t cry no tears” y “Burned”). Y hablando de versiones, he aquí una de las más curiosa de los escoceses… 13. Teenage Fanclub - “Like a virgin”: Esta version de Madonna es de las más curiosas que han hecho TFC, y han hecho muchas. Publicadas en singles encontramos versiones de clásicos como The Beatles, Credence Clearwater Revival, Lou Reed, Phil Ochs o The Lying Burrito Brothers y contemporáneos como Beat Happening, Yo La Tengo o Sebadoh. 14. Cecilia Ann – “Si no lo ves”: Y si TFC siempre han reconocido claramente sus influencias, otros grupos han reconocido estar influenciados por TFC. En España encontramos grupos como The Happy Losers o Cecilia Ann, que han sabido emular las guitarras y las armonías vocales de los protagonistas de este recopilatorio. 15. Primary 5 - Ex-batería de Teenage Fanclub, Paul Quinn también ha hecho sus pinitos como líder de una banda, Primary 5, que nos ha dejado dos bonitos álbumes de ese pop de melodías y guitarras que tanto nos gusta. 16. Teenage Fanclub – “Don’t look back (acoustic version)”: Y para terminar, esta version de una de las canciones más conocidas de TFC, publicada en el EP “Teenage Fanclub Have Lost It”, que tiene un encanto especial, que la hace incluso más bonita que la original.
