I would love to see a Loveless or (In my wildest dreams because they hate each other) a Spacemen 3 one.

[James Nash]

Remember checking 'If You're Feeling Sinister' and 'Tigermilk' out of Wolverhampton Library when I was 15 and it changing my life and everything I've ever listened to from then on. The band were so different than the shit you were forcefed at that time and I identified with every word. Thanks for this doc, great to hear about how they were made in similar circumstances. Cheers to the band for making them.

3 Feet High and Rising? Sea Change? In The Aeroplane Over The Sea? Loveless?

So many cool ideas, though personally an Entroducing... or Radiohed one (any album) would make my day

Wolves library was brilliant for this. Its how I discovered the Smiths.

To everyone asking for it, the first song "She wants to play a lot, she wants to sing a lot" is called Rhoda. Cheers.

[Kellython Oliveira]

up!

[Duncan Kennedy]

It would be awesome if you guys did some stuff from the 80's like Minutemen "Double Nickels On The Dime", or Sonic Youth "Daydream Nation",

[thesunstartstoset]

does anyone know where the "stars of track and field" clips come from?

[Jon Spurgeon]

no



[Julien Lecloux]

I'm so grateful for skateboarding and crailcouch for allowing me to discover this band
