[fptr75]

amelia forever

[TheMICHAELSPARROW]

I think they liked each other, MsJohhny.



[MsJohnnyMoped]

I've heard that my favourite band Trixie's Big Red Motorbike influenced them. Can anyone confirm that?

[InParticularNobody]

how to do the dance:

verse - eyes looking down, hands clasped behind your back, swaying and not moving your feet at all.

chorus - arms flailing about and body lurching around dangerously and not-quite-falling over. ahhhh.memories.

[coulddone]

after the moment, I found my face in the crowded seashore

[voicefreson]

I loved this song when I heard it on a John Peel session back in the late 80's, nice to stumble across it again all these years later.

[Raekott]

Gosh, Talulah!!!

[Lentil70]

Ah the memories, I had the shelter vid... x

[weemissy]

cheers for putting this up, loved it for years :)) great memories x

[AnotherSunnyNight]

Another Sunny Night #3 le samedi 29 Janvier à L'International (Paris, France): Tender Trap (with Amelia Fletcher) + Betty and the Werewolves + Sylvia Hanschneckenbühl. A partir de 20h et Gratuit!

[Broodmarish]

Lament that Talulah Gosh was before your time? Well go listen to the chorus of Bhang, Bhang, I'm a Burnout by Dum Dum Girls then go see them in concert!

[wheelworker1]

dolly mixture away

[wheelworker1]

thanks for the video, talulah gosh been one of my favorites for years, my first time seeing a video of them

[describble]

still sounds good...

[MrBushytop]

Heard this on one of those indie compilations once. Great stuff

[sidrocker]

Lovely!

[Ares121288]

awwwww i love twee

[RockAndRollMassacre]

one of the few songs that brings me to tears, there's something unbearably sad about it

[openingwonder]

Thank you! Oh Thin Mat. This is so precious to me.

[54spiritedwill54]

brilliant song indeed

[Che1965]

great song from my indie listening years. i still have and treasure my Shelter video, but it doesnt play properly anymore, so thank you for posting this.

[batotoy0hussein]

is this still sarah records? nice song

[RHutton2710]

Call it a hunch, but the feeling would probably not be mutual.

[vfrwormatiaworms]

Talulah Gosh was a present story day

Talulah Gosh was a pop celebrity

You can lie to everyone

But please, please don't lie to me

[stellarconverter]

@vfrwormatiaworms I thought it was, "Talula Gosh was a film star for a day"

Still, the best, best song in the world.

[loyalroyal1971]

@stellarconverter Yes, it's defo "film star for a day".

[shakeerr]

1:19

[vilepete]

Who are you? Can you read? Have you ever heard of Arno Gruen? I guess not, so if you can read and learn try «The Insanity of Normality (Understanding Human Destructiveness)»?

[tjs6025]

He was the drummer and brother of the singer. He ended up committing suicide after the third Heavenly record.

[Talulahledger]

haha this is so weird.. my name is talulah thats the only reason i looked it up lolz x :P its ok i guess :)

[HotBloodedManlyMan]

Does the single version sound different than the one off They've Scoffed the Lot? I seem to remember her singing being a bit slower and lighter in a fluffy way on the album..

[AugsburgerPunker]

This is the single version, but there's a Peel session version that sounds different. Try "Backlash", a compilation with both versions.

[loyalroyal1971]

@HotBloodedManlyMan Yes, this one has Amelia singing lead, the version on They've Scoffed The Lot has Elizabeth on lead vocal.

[muteboyuk]

Was this video on Transmission?

[charlottesometimes7]

I had this Shelter video but someone stole it from me years ago, so happy to finally hear this again at last

[pelleastre]

I have been trying to figure out what she is singing on Bringing up Baby for twenty years. I loved this song so much it hurt. A girlfriend, who's brother was too shy to use the telephone, used to call NME from here in the states, and order singles for him. It would have been twenty years before we heard it otherwise. thanks for posting, next stop, Motorcycle Boy and Big Rock Candy Mountain

[addyroth]

Really a terrific song.

[GriefTourist]

Fab song.

[sandysandstorm]

Sounds pretty much like Boa and the Voodoclub.

[derschuermann]

actually it's from 87, published by constrictor records. the title of the album was "rock legends: volume 69". produced by john rivers, martin hayward and talulah gosh. i love this record which has loads of other great songs like strawberry girl, escalator over the hill etc.

i think this was their only record. such a shame!!! does anyone know what happened to them?

[bolderr]

they became heavenly. then marine research. then tender trap.

[mattcrane123]

they had quite a few other records on a label called 53rd + 3rd. Beatnik Boy was one

[derschuermann]

beatnik boy was on "rock legends", too. gorgeous song. thanks to both of you.

[icarokar]

Twee Anthem of all the times! Emerald Stone.

[herreralizzy]

Does anyone remember getting casettes with Melody Maker? This was on it I think!

[tjs6025]

Nope, cuz I grew up in the states! Had I received this on cassette when I was younger I would have been stoked!

Oh well, we had quite a few amazing things here that I probably would not have heard if I lived overseas I suppose...

[iamatwat]

yep ya old git lizzy (meant in jest). what a song!

[herreralizzy]

I know. I am feeling old enough thanks. Two kids and a broken marriage later...think I might go back to being 14 again. What year was it?

[iamatwat]

must have been about 82/83....i was 15! it passes by eh Lizzy! Sorry didnt mean to make you feel bad, take care

[herreralizzy]

No prob. I don't feel bad, am much better now thanks!

[antifolkhero]

Nice shorts.

[livinginascream]

thank god for pastels badges ^^. rip mathew.

[DaveCromwell]

I love it!

[Nick147147]

Great to hear this again. I think it's about Clare Grogan isn't it?

[garbagetrux]

my name's tallulah :]

sure, it's spelled differently, but same thing.

[jaegere05]

Wow, that guy is hideous

[tranmere66]

Lovely. I love everything Amelia has ever done.

At first I thought Amelia wrote this as a little dig at Elizabeth after Elizabeth left, but I've since heard a version with Elizabeth singing it so that blows that theory!

[joeXmaspunk]

I never heard of this band... I love finding new stuff... but I hate it when I find it late.

[DaDazey]

What's twenty years??

[stellarconverter]

@joeXmaspunk Don't feel bad, most people haven't heard of them.

[mvonwahlde]

@joeXmaspunk You're not late. Listen to Tender Trap.

[englishcat19]

mutts nuts

80/20

[lozhardy]

A real blast from the past this one. Thanks for posting. Fabulous voice, so underrated.

[shockandawe]

well, this brought the memories flooding back, I remember seeing them in Edinburgh in 86/7 ? at the onion cellar, a great club. They were fun, but this was the one song that set them apart for me. I also remember bumping into st ettaine upstairs at nicky tams a year or so later and they were bemoaning the lack of stage etc and I was thinking "you fucking wanks, you'll never go anywhere, if you only knew the great gigs I'd seen there !

[tjs6025]

This is amazing!

[Manjir]

After all these years! One of my all time favorites.

[pressgang]

wow pre-acid house indie, god wasn`t it slow, all those big over coats, short hair cuts and dancing to this and the shop assistants, ahh takes me back

[formanir]

amelia is not designing dresses nor pushing daisies; she is still musically active in tender trap, (whose recent album, 6 billion people was tremendous) sportique, and The Relationships. Her career is not one of fashion but one of intellect, as she is the current Chief Economist for The Office of Fair Trading...in fact, if you choose to visit their website it provides e-mail and telephonic contact information for Marigold (that was her nom de plume in TG, right?)

[juliane16]

Amelia is certainly still around - I read an article about her in the Observer in my Doctor's waiting room last week - think she's making dresses or something. Still - certainly the most under-rated of singers - I loved her and Talulah Gosh. And yes - I always wondered what she sang in 'Bringing Up Baby' - can't quite make it out - so when I'm driving along the embankment singing it out of the car window I have NO idea what I'm humming!!!

[thejacksaints]

since the comments are now on page 2, once again I ask:

Does anyone know the words to "Bringing Up Baby"? could ya post them if you do??? thanks!

[arover1882]

Genius. Amelia Fletcher is the most under-rated artist in the history of music.

[pedrovilar]

Adorable and Breathtaking!

[t1ghtenup]

Magical.

[StuartChameleon]

Great song, thanks for uploading.

[gloomtown]

Amelia Fletcher is alive and well. It was her brother Mathew (Talulah Gosh and Heavenly's drummer) who sadly committed siucide in 1996.

[LisaLoops]

Am i right in thinking that amelia died? or have I got that one horribly wrong? Loved Talulah Gosh "Bringing up baby" was a classic...

[provokatie]

No, close, who died was Amelias's brother. He was in the band too.

[spipper]

@provokatie Thats a funny way to phrase it. "He was in the band too [ya know!]"

[palendromebob]

@LisaLoops can't find bringing up baby on here. I really want to hear it!

[louiecostello]

@LisaLoops didnt crash his escort though

[mvonwahlde]

@LisaLoops Amelia Fletcher didn't die. She rules the world!!

[astrobopper]

I'll be damned, but y'know, this vid probably *is* 80s. (I knew the song was, but I couldn't believe there was a video.) Again though, great stuff!

[astrobopper]

This was not 80s vintage, but yea verily, this song waxed lovely

[AndyW001]

I hate it when people say "Weren't the 80's crap?" When they really mean the mainstream bands of the 80's were crap.Obviously WE know better!!!

[gloomtown]

Beautiful, beautiful song. Does anyone have more Talulah Gosh videos? This is the only one I've ever seen.

[neilbombd]

Amelia Fletcher really does amaze me. I wish more people realised just how brilliant she is.

[quesabenellos]

lo maximo, ya no ya, las mas mas

[thejacksaints]

Does anyone know the words to "Bringing Up Baby"? could ya post them if you do??? thanks!

[patosan]

I love Talulah Gosh. Thanks for posting it.

[springalo66]

I want to cry....longing for simpler times.....thanks again for posting all these videos.

[realshocks]

Thanks so much, this whole comp is great. Talulah Gosh are one of my favourites.

[Donovan007]

yay Amelia!
