Teenage Fanclub - Everything Flows

[spurtfather]

their best song.

[Christonerify]

I saw a few months ago a friend of mine published this subject, I gave him a look and loved it, greetings from Argentina

[MrSomewhere]

thanks for the upload, and in decent quality, cheers.

[XavierSmith64]

Love this track!

[laudertradingpost]

Dose sound like the Pixies as well though....

[IamNowJMAN]

@laudertradingpost If we're comparing contemporaries, I'd say it sounds more close to the stuff Dinosaur Jr. was doing.

[ragnakak]

@IamNowJMAN well mascis was definitely a fan. he covered this very song on the john peel sessions

[elmorobar]

Please no need to get into a freakish mood this is just awesome song what a fucking underrated band

[songsamsung]

Has anyone else noticed how "Marc Bolan" the lead guitar sounds on this song?

[keyboard352]

@songsamsung they must be very influenced by T Rex because the opening riff on Hang On from Thirteen sounds almost exactly like 20th Century Boy. Still awesome though

[songsamsung]

@keyboard352 Yes, you're right. I hadn't spotted that until now..

[sickboyfool]

sounds like balls

[TheWildhound]

with tears in my eyes...memories



[okwooahh]

ha forgot i'd written that, was pissed when i did, its all true though. ta reverb

[okwooahh]

seen them twice at the limelight, belfast. and screamed all the words at them over the barriers because i love them. and prob cried a wee bit too. ah well they are FUCKING GREAT. kisses

[reverb1974]

@okwooahh You obviously like music man! See you at a fannies gig sometime.

[nath909]

Haha, I get it. They dont care, hehe

[billbonesdeluxe]

This song makes being stuck in traffice bearable

[meinLiebsterFeind]

@billbonesdeluxe

it makes me wanna flow, I'd hate to be stuck.

[walker44444]

Unadulterated codswallop. Sounds like a very poor Nirvana b side.

[reverb1974]

@walker44444 fuck you cunt! you do not understand music. probably thick. no education. go home and have ma ma change your nappy (daiper).

[ValChronification]

@walker44444 strange, seeing as TF were Cobain's favourite band, you dickhead.

This is a great song and definitely one of the highlights of the album. Terrific chorus to sing along to live, up there with Baby Lee.

[okwooahh]

@walker44444 what a load of wank. if you have ever been a teenager you should have an idea of all the feelings that this band express. you have tried and failed to insult both nirvana and teenage fan club. go and listen to some shite instead and comment on that. and have a nice life. bye!

maxipoos

[jerryrigging]

great post thank you just not one of my favs

[JohnnyMarr03]

just a wonderful song! very dreaming like alot of music from that era, i mean alot of people tell me not to look to the past for great music but i don'tr hear much that sounds as good as this. now there is british sea power, arcade fire, queens of the stone age, i do like those bands, but i do miss this sort of sound.

[owenfandango]

First time I've heard this absolutely incredible!

[Lebowsk1]

I nearly destroyed myself jumping up and down to Fanclub at Bowlie 2 but let me tell you it was worth the pain because nobody else there could touch 'em!

[swampdodger33]

fanny-tastic

[SuperRysie]

its up there as the greatest song ever made

[lofi73]

You should check out J. Mascis´version of this tune

[davethawley1]

cool man - one of the best fanny tracks ever. Still hits home now

[eurorocker79]

Damn, this song is $%#&ing dynamite!!

[jackglen666]

one of thee most underrated bands .

[johnnydepth76]

goooooood stuff

[theindiefanclub]

I so badly wish that Teenage Fanclub wasn't before my time. As a fifteen year old now, I love hanging out with older people and this kind of culture, and I feel like I majorly missed out on something big. I really wish I could have been around for when you guys were all kids. THis song made me cry the first time I ehard it, just ebcause it was so damned awesome.

[mervyn95]

@theindiefanclub

but if you always look back to the past... you'll miss so many extraordinary things happened right now. Don't waste your youth in the past

[comanchio1976]

@theindiefanclub 'mervyn95' is dead right y'know! I did that exact thing, and missed out on a lot of cool stuff happening when I was young...and I've been kicking myself ever since! It's OK to get into the older stuff, just not at the expense of what's happening in the present!

[theindiefanclub]

@comanchio1976 :/ Pity that most of what's happening in the present is orange-coloured tarts getting pregnant prematurely, and people barely learning to read, and leaving school to mooch off the government. I blame rap music!

[comanchio1976]

@theindiefanclub There's always gonna be crap music dominating the mainstream, except for a few golden years...Peter-god-damn-Andre and Take-cocking-That were top of the charts when I was 15-16! Trick is to search out the really good stuff, it will be out there you just gotta keep looking!

[goodthief73]

@theindiefanclub mervyns right, great band, even better times but theres a lot of good shit going on just now too. You just gotta find it!! When i was 15 i spent all my time listening to hendrix and the stones and wishing id been around in the sixties, then the stone roses came along and kicked off so much! You'll find your niche then never look back!!

[eurorocker79]

@theindiefanclub

Dude, when their records came out I bought every one on vinyl and they knocked me out!! I'm happy you like them!

The way you talk about you might as well have been there...

Consider yourself an honorary Fanclub fan... and don't forget Redd Kross either!

[theindiefanclub]

@eurorocker79 Thanks guys! You've really made me feel a lot better! :)

[stu1966stu]

@theindiefanclub

Thats what we thought about the 60's

[StreetSceneLive]

Amazing song... and STILL one of their very best... Happy 20th Anniversary Teenage Fanclub... and KEEP ON ROCKIN.

[TheLastCelticBard]

I was a broken hearted 17 year old indie-kid when I first heard 'The Fannies'. They made all that emotional turbulence seem relevant. I used to sing my heart out to 'Bandwagonesque'(and I still do regularly to this day at the age of 35 ha, ha). Thank you for posting. Peace

[TheTigronette]

@TheLastCelticBard oh god, sounds like my life story (cept I only used to sing this one)

[TheTigronette]

@TheTigronette and for more 'house of indiekid shame' I taped this off of John Peel (I was 15 at the time...)

[donsboy11903]

They were playing in aberdeen

[promisedeyes]

This should have been a U.S. and U.K. #1 hit.

[dexilee]

where were they playing?

[donsboy11903]

went to see them last night they were awsome

[henrikk67]

just seen them !!!!! superb xxxxx#

[kirk2k3]

Idlewild's cover of this is insane... just as good, if not better ;)

[MrLion1]

I hear Kevin Shields

[MrLion1]

I hear Kevin Shields

[dee74raz]

A classic !!!!

[NymphZoic68]

Best live! or on the dial driving in the Highlands! Yeah

[foppa123]

major jam

[hokieguy95]

Sounds a little like some of the Lemonheads.

[PieceofMindmusic]

@hokieguy95 like Big Star meets Neil Young with a pinch of the Beatles...

[inshreds66]

I knew at the time I heard Oasis they weren't that different just made some good records at that time and I never understood the way they have been put on that pedestal at the time and since. When you hear this again, I recall why I thought that.....

Oasis only formed in 1991, yet this is from 1990......!

[Cube146]

TFC were something very special - we gave them their London debut at the The Cube - Bull'n Gate in 1990 - Oasis didn't emerge until a while later around late '92/93 - I think but then again who cares? happy days and good music all round!

[PieceofMindmusic]

this song is so fun to play live.

[njbrunnock]

Cheers MattHF, that would be cool.

[njbrunnock]

The best version of this I heard was on a Radio 1 Mark Goodier evening session.

I think it was on a cover mounted cassette given away with the defunct Select magazine.

Love to get a copy if anyone has a link to it.

[MattHF]

i have that cassette somewhere and i totally agree! i've no idea how to upload it but i'll look into and hopefully hook you up.

[RodCow]

I had that tape too.

[kirstybeau]

i love that too! have it in tape somewhere. met norm one night and told him it was the best but think he just thought i was mental!

[robskithegodski]

It great comingback and never forgetting something so great!

Does anyone have the track " Kylie played Guitar (with the band)"

[BobbyEvans57]

it's the best song ever, the only thing better is the acoustic version

[kevyrob13]

Get with the Fannies!!!!!

[jfscave]

I was doin' college radio in '90 and played this to death. Top shelf!

[DefenderoftheNorth]

i havent heard this song before.... sounds amazing man....! =]

[lord9691]

oh yeah.....especially the intro. the way that guitar comes rising up out of the murk.  perfect.

[shunkyboy]

Jeez this song brings back so many memories.

Best band ever.Lovin it.

[kkdjn]

I come the chills

[reverb1974]

This is without doubt the best song of all time.

The relentless chords, heaven like lyrics, and something that is just more than music and words

Listen to this with the lights out, and when it ends, you just sort of think, what's next?

A work of genius

[BobbyEvans57]

@reverb1974 Spot on bud, it is the best tune of all time!

[grobbledonk]

@reverb1974 - "without doubt" - gimp.

Genius is far too strong a word

[barryfromwales]

@reverb1974 that's a quality feeling dude. thanks for posting.

[RogueRotting360]

@reverb1974 Can hardly hear the lyrics. Vocals are too far back.

[davethawley1]

@RogueRotting360 theres something wrong with your computer - sounds good here. Have you got your base turned up too much ?

[Lebowsk1]

@RogueRotting360 possibly, but if this had the production of their Northern Britain/Grand Prix era, you can imagine the epicness. They rock this one live. Bandwagonesque is not my favourite album because of the production but still very strong songs.

[bawhite125]

@reverb1974 I liked reading your comment. Plain and simple.

[PieceofMindmusic]

@reverb1974 they should record aversion with some kind of light organ work and maybe a cello. but stil with all the distortion.

[jackleaves]

@PieceofMindmusic They did, on the 'Teenage Fanclub Have Lost It' EP back in 96ish... and very superb it is too

[jackleaves]

@PieceofMindmusic They did, on the 'Teenage Fanclub Have Lost It' EP back in 96ish... and very superb it is too (not much distortion tho)

[PieceofMindmusic]

@jackleaves yeah ive heard that one, and its *very* superb. but they use a flute and harmonica and banjo in addition to acoustics, which is very cool, but id like to hear an electric version with cello and an organ, kinda like Crazy Horse would do. Maybe ill just do a cover myself...

[reverb1974]

@PieceofMindmusic

[PlanetaryElement]

@reverb1974 Spot on mate! Quite possibly the greatest band in the world! One of Scotland's proudest exports. :)

[marcelcruzeiro]

Oh, man...

That makes me cry!

[delcranston]

thx for posting the full version. i was never a huge fan of th e band but i agree there's a case for "best song ever."

[markrskinner]

Class

[corkpunk]

Newry 91/92/92 salutes teenage fanclub!

[cass74]

Am i wierd or something? I have to say that this is my song that I want to bow down on. I think I know my "onions" when it somes to music, but for me this is my fave song ever. They nail it, and it remids me of getting a few tins in before going up town (brum) and having it!!

[littlejonnyfrost]

Just damn good onions. A simple song but it's got something very special and evocative about it. One of my all time favourites, takes me back to 'then'.

[TheF25key]

disnae get much better than this. beautiful.

[Shotgunnova]

Great song, but when J Mascis covered it on some Peel Sessions in a medley, I gotta say that one stole my heart. <3

[kbeathappening]

I'll never know which way to flow

Set a course that I don't know

I'll never know which way to flow

Set a course that I don't know!!!!

teenage fanclub rules!!!!

[cass74]

Thia fuckin song..sorry for swearing..but it tkes me back to when i was 16. what a tune? 16 yr olds now listen to shit...so i'm putting myself on a pedestal

[su79nioj]

Bit quiet. But good all the same.

[FuckingStanz]

badass song

[holyvierbreizh]

this song is awesome!!
