Teenage Fanclub - Star Sign

[bluegrassreb1]

WHAT AN ALBUM!!!!!!!!!

[msgigi100]

i luv luv luv teenage fanclub!!!!!!

[kingjojothegreat]

Still incredibly fresh sounding after all these years.

[chicherchio]

Muito do caralho.

[JohnnyMarr03]

also i was listening to some bootlegs of the band from this tour, around 1991-92-93 ...and it seems that norman blake gerard love and mcingley would often alternate different vocal parts that hard harmonies. so i think norman would sing a gerard songs, them mcingley would sing lead vocal on a gerard song. That is just awsome!! and how incredible guitar players they all were in this period, still were afterwards but i prefer the spontanious playing and spark of this period of the band.

[JohnnyMarr03]

I have an idea for playing this live as a cover. The lead guitar is amazing in this but you have to turn it up really loud to hear it well. An improvised extended explosion of guitar frenzy emphasising the lead guitar solo melody that swims with the rest of the song could potentially be the coolest thing you'd ever hear. I really do miss music that sounds like this. I'm not sure what newer bands there are that sound anything like this.

[PieceofMindmusic]

@JohnnyMarr03 -ours does.

[KristinNirvana]

My god, this is so amazing, it somehow seems to represent the stuff I've been hearing about how back then it was all artistic, origional, creative, independant, diy, bohemian, grass roots, down to earth, etc, stuff that I totally fit in with but didn't get to see as I was born then. THIS IS AMAZING!!! Thank god the guys of Nirvana tell about their influences all the time or else I never would have found this little gem.

I stumbled onto this album, on accident when I was like 14! I think one of my sisters boyfriends left it at our house.... Such an awesome accident it was!!!:) Such a great, and extremely underated album!!

[JohnnyMarr03]

they are not a shoegaze band but this song is close to the genre.

[nanook732]

teenage fanclub is not shoegaze.

[uconnn]

big deal



[purplebutterboy]

I never realized how much Guided By Voices sound like or were inspired by T Fanclub sounds at times, esp Star Sign. Think of Fair Touching from Isolation Drills. Brilliant, brings back 1991.

[kingjojothegreat]

@purplebutterboy definitely that song for sure!

[snower5554]

This song makes me want to drive really fast and run from the police. If I ever get in a high-speed car chase, I'm going to put this song on.

[rickedrick]

oh man i hadn't heard this in AGES! i love it!

[lumyingluo]

^_^

[f0rce0fnature]

i think i found God

[Salguine]

This is a great song and I wish it had a great video. I find the fucking floating-bubble motif makes this a pain to watch.

[tbbilbo]

One of the top ten shoegazer songs of all time! Bravo!

[mediattackrecords]

yeah the drums are kind of weak but this song has major warmth do it for a cheap digital recording and green screened video it sounds great. it sounds almost as if it was done with 1 mic and the vocals were overdubbed later. Great Warhol technique. Nice creative use of Warhol's production ideas.

[JohnnyMarr03]

of course the drums are incredible as well.

[petermurphreak]

Back in the ANCIENT days when fucking MTV sometimes DID play "music"!!!...

[jaketheman091]

This band is important in the shoegaze sound. Cool tones, similar to Suredo (Sweden) or My Bloody Valentine (Ireland)

[rudown78]

@jaketheman091 shoegaze??????????/

[JohnnyMarr03]

one of my all time favourites tunes! immense bass playing, gorgeous vocal melody, the guitar solos come in and blow your face off. dreamy pop/rock is taking me over ...A

AHHHH ..faints*!

[lstaton]

@JohnnyMarr03 what about the drums?

[lancepopem]

the best song of the 90's!

[Valtalks]

ookaninam, I was that show too! I've seen them play 9 or 10 times since 1992, and this was the best they've ever sounded. First time I saw them play, Superchunk opened for them. Also i know the band so I talked to them a bit, and they are always really nice. My love for them started with this video.
