[gattosalgigifilm]

[rockersun]

my favour song!

[Rantomon]

Me too

[HiginioTV]

fantastic song...one of fannies finest

[steviel76]

might be biased as im scottish but surely the fannies have got to be the best 'pop' band of the last 23v years!!

[bluegrassreb1]

at the time my girl was named December!! LOL LOL

[JamesOkinawa]

I listened to this CD in 1992 in SoCal in my Firebird's cassette player. I still listen to it once in awhile. Great songs and songwriting

[gbvfan49]

PURE LOVE.

[JLDB1987]

Love these guys. They loved Neil Young, Dinosaur Jr., and must have been influenced by Big Star, R.E.M., etc. Those influences, mixed with their Scottish sensibilities, created a great sound. Bandwagonesque is one of my all time favorite albums by anyone. They captured something special on that album, especially.

[PAULisDEADMANnumber9]

@JLDB1987 at the time, most critics called it big stars fourth album. i love big star, and i love teenage fanclub!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[lancepopem]

[PietroVerona]

@lancepopem mediafire

[roadhockey]

@lancepopem Here's a novel idea: Buy the CD.

[ianpomster]

I always thought they sang "I wanted to assinate the singer" LOL

Listened to it over and over when it came out, great,  I love fannies

[STCYRU5]

one of the most underrated great british bands, one hit short of being the next marmalade!!!

[jamsee1]

I fully agree it's true that so many bands don't get the plaudits they deserve and this band was sadly one of them but at least 'Bandwagonesque' (i do like it- those!) got rewarded but in my view isn't there best. I feel the criticized 'Thirteen' album was better and 'Grand Prix' was there best ones. Another i own is Northern songs from Northern Britain is also a good LP.

[CDogensis]

Sums up my feelings about teenage fanclub. Good album, but Sparky's dream, Neil Jung, Gene Clark, Fear of Flying, Start Again, are all examples of better songs on better albums.

[borat27]

lifts a melody from Nighttime by Big Star, but that's okay.

[666rocko]

its not that much like it

[dunkiep]

... and not a million miles away from 'December girls'.

[psychobollox]

dunno about December Girls ... it's September Girls, really.... but there's a real flavour of Daisy Glaze from the same LP as SG

[dunkiep]

What a freudian slip!!! I, of course, meant 'September Girls' from Radio City by Big Star which I've loved since I read about it after the fannies were compared with them around the time of this. Felt the need to justify myself there, but we're all friends really!

[psychobollox]

ah ... easy done, man ... the two months' names appear in the same song... can bugger anyone up...

but the comparisons - yeh, valid but not insulting to the fannies... and yeh, both bands good friends with each other.

this sort of music is very uplifting.

[dunkiep]

Yeh, sometimes journos talk about bands having influences as though it's a criminal act. I remember the suggestion that bandwaggonesque was somehow unworthy because the band had plagiarised Big Star. Like many indie-kids at the time I was pretty shocked, so went out and bought Radio City and #1 record (in the bargain bins at woolies for a couple of quid!!). I just loved all that stuff, and although I could hear something similar, it was more than just a copy.

[psychobollox]

with you totally on the journos thing... how can people NOT have influences ffs?! and you hit nail on head there... if it's not just a plain copy but takes the idea and moves it on some ... that's development!

same thing happens in physics and psychology ... why not in music?

[dunkiep]

... and writing! What story has not already been written before? (probably by Shakespear).

Anyway, it's about time for a new fannies album, me thinks - is anything in the pipeline?

[psychobollox]

dunno what the lads are up to but hopefully soon...

as for shakespeare... i heard that a shitload of monkeys have been contesting the copyright on all his stuff! ;)

[dunkiep]

LOL!!

[psychobollox]

latest i heard was that they have to argue it out in court and he cannae find a lawyer to represent him ... seems he pissed a few of them off one time ;)

[jeebsg23]

@dunkiep I agree, Big Star is one of my favorite bands. As are Teenage Fanclub,TF wasn't copying Big Star. They were expanding on a much underappreciated style of rock. The influence is very apparent but they managed to progress the sound while staying true to their influences.

[NobbyOlder]

A classic cd if there ever was one!

[mexicouldifiwantedto]

hell yeah! great album all around

[jonanjello]

Love this song.
