it's never to late to discover a band

[@Boltenstein1]

One of the most underrated bands ever.

[@TheGrandmasterMan]

@@Boltenstein1 Damn right!

[@alanramirez9935]

Just discovered them today April 2021

U, U familiar places in my heart

[@springalo66]

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

[@ianmcgregorhart9354]

Have not heard this in ages. Reminds me of early episodes of neighbours. Love this when it was released. Very indie Circa 86 sound. I think Amelia Fletcher was lead singer. She has done well and is an Economist. Received an OBE for her work and contribution. She has made a big impact in her life. A talented individual in many ways. Love this song and band Heavenly as well.

[@herbieshine1312]

Oh that jingle jangle sound!

[@neilbombd]

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

[@simonritson2165]

OMG, this song. So beautiful. Memories of my youth. Lovely to hear it again.

[@TheGrandmasterMan]

Fucking magnificent !! That chorus sounded great then, sounds great now and will still sound great 30 years from now....

[@DaveMcIroy]

That's what I love about Britpoprock. It's more playful and charming.

[@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.

[@gravez666]

john peel never failed to deliver fr

[@kagokass]

Nirvana´s amplified bio bought me here. They were listening to this band on the van stereo in the first tour... Very welcome addition to all the indie and shoegaze i already know from the time of my late teens

[@JohnKelly-vw6ws]

I can still listen to them all day. And still get emotional. Ethereal, ephemeral and forever.

[@lordprotector3367]

I bought this single after seeing it on the Chart Show indie chart in 1987. Magnificent.

[@bushmanPMRR]

Thank you so much for posting this. A mate used to play this to me back in the late 80's knowing full well I was more of a Joy Division / The Sisters Of Mercy kind of guy! This came up in my recommendations (probably because I'd been playing The Shop Assistants!) and I thought to myself no! surely not, after all these years! Happy nights in New Cross, S.E.London getting wasted on 'Snakebite & Black' and playing all sorts, over thirty years ago! Cheers, respect and regards!

[@MrDachshund99]

Great drumming, only 16 on this record as well. R.I.P Mathew.

[@bensons999]

In heaven, Heavenly.

[@davebrown5957]

I think I just found a new favorite band after all these years of thinking I heard everything

[@TheGrandmasterMan]

Search out all the 'C86' bands from around that time....some fantastic stuff.

[@RockAndRollMassacre]

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

[@Boltenstein1]

For me it is "bringing up baby"

[@andrews-channel]

@paulohernanndizz3506 hi ! do you remeber what book?!

[@Kradlum]

Thanks for posting this! I remember seeing them at UCL in about 87. Great gig.

[@dizzylizzysunflower]

I remember hearing this on John Peel’s show in the 80s…bloody brilliant!!!

[@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!!!

[@GriefTourist]

I heard she was a high ranking civil servant

[@izudu]

Talulah Gosh was a film star for a day.

[@6wilmarway]

Greatest song of all evenness x

[@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.

[@realshocks]

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

[@arover1882]

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

[@archieprinter3555]

Talulah Gosh was a Princess for a day!

[@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...

[@josephalaguna]

Check out her other project Marine Research. Excellent material. One song in particular is, "Chucking Out Time".

[@loop66]

Angel's chorus, in heaven.

[@remembertomorrow8730]

I know that's a music from late 80's but this stuff reminds me of 2k14 spring.

[@teamblitz1990]

Brilliant slice of dreamy pop punk

[@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 !

[@studonaldson1497]

Thanks. Must confess I was around playing in bands in Oxford at the same time but missed out on them, shame. Oh well, never too late to discover something good, Eric X

[@francistreml148]

I saw them in the Jericho Tavern late 80s Oxford

[@nc5809]

This song "hits different" in the language of 2021

[@addyroth]

Really a terrific song.

[@fatherofpeggy]

Cheers for putting this up, used to have the Gimme Shelter video.

[@DD-ev2dt]

INDIE classic from Oxfords finest Talluhah Gosh 😎 ..... classic from 1987 😎✌️.

[@joeXmaspunk]

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

[@54spiritedwill54]

brilliant song indeed

[@rubberduck1220]

I'm watching this in the bath, I hope I don't drop the phone!

[@emobaddieproduct6109]

That is so funny !! 😂

[@GriefTourist]

something profoundly sad about this song

[@TheGrandmasterMan]

It ended profoundly sadly,. Drummer Mathew has the writing credit I believe and later committed suicide. Shocked me at the time and what a waste.

[@tjs6025]

This is amazing!

[@patrickhicks9880]

i love this song

[@lajuvenyouth2889]

the perfect pop song, que onda el segundo coro, fuaaahh

Every day she wakes up Her life will be a movie All the things she does, written in her diary But when the day is done, she cannot tell the truth Pretend her life's exciting Pretend she'll never lose Talulah Gosh was a film star for a day Talulah Gosh was a top celebrity You can lie to everyone But please, please don't lie to me Now she is a popstar With her own TV show Tells them all her stories And hopes they'll never know Don't be anybody else Forget about the rest You'll always be Talulah You'll always be yourself Talulah Gosh was a film star for a day Talulah Gosh was a top celebrity You can lie to everyone But please, please don't lie to me

[@AnyoneCanSee]

The short blonde hair thing was just a joke. Anyway, I've actually never heard of Carousel but I'll check them out. Around this time I was 18 living up north and very into the Manchester hacienda scene. So I don't know any of these bands.

[@GriefTourist]

Surely this was in the 1987 Festive Fifty? If it wasn't there is something wrong.

[@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!!!

[@sidrocker]

Lovely!

[@Wanderingdayo]

Oooh I like this😊

[@rcooll]

Congratulations for Elizabeth Price on the Turner Prize!

[@22Phantasm]

The name 'Tallulah Gosh' was created by Clare Grogan, who had considered this to be her stage name at one point.

[@thejacksaints]

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

[@palendromebob]

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

[@mattashton]

No she didn't! Elizabeth Price did and she had left Talulah Gosh just before this single was released. That's the lovely Amelia Fletcher and Eithne Farry singing.

[@sirknight1399]

Amelia is lovely indeed. I always thought she wrote this as a gentle dig at Elizabeth (with a little lament for their lost friendship).

[@barryshostakovitch]

None, none more indie.

[@mirandovideosenyoutube]

[@antifolkhero]

Nice shorts.

[@therealacidbird]

I named my cat after this song!

[@AnyoneCanSee]

The lead singing just won the Turner Prize 2012.

[@AugsburgerPunker]

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

[@muteboyuk]

Was this video on Transmission?

[@gregorypope23]

Talulah Gosh was a FILM STAR FOR A DAY what the hell is a "present story day"?

[@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!

[@spipper]

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

[@davidcowan4942]

I actually own a The Pastels badge 😂

[@andyryan4061]

love it

[@iamatwat]

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

[@AnyoneCanSee]

Fair enough. I simply looked this up having read she was in the band and thought that was her young. The picture quality is not great. So you just had to have short blonde hair and you were in then?

[@provokatie]

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

[@muteboyuk]

Love the organ at 3:00 onwards

[@vfrwormatiaworms]

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

[@sandysandstorm]

Sounds pretty much like Boa and the Voodoclub.

[@andreaneilcmc]

This must be twee then??

[@tjs6025]

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

[@bensons999]

♥

[@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...

[@englishcat19]

mutts nuts 80/20

[@versioncity1]

ha, I know that one.....

[@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)»?

Wow, that guy is hideous

Pure twee

[@arminius4406]

Middle class people in a middle class band who wrote middle class music now doing middle class jobs. In a middle class newspaper read by middle class people writing about callow middle class youths sniggering at other callow middle class youths because they look middle class and a lot like themselves. Now one of them has won a middle class award that only middle class people care about and is only really mentioned in middle class newspapers read by middle class people. The only thing to say about this is .....Middle class person wins middle class award and used to sing "sha la la" in a middle class band. All we need now is a middle class person writing on a middle class blog claiming that all these accusations of middle classness are unfounded and that prior to singing "sha la la" in a middle class band, the middle class winner of a middle class award was actually a coal miner in South Yorkshire...........meanwhile on the council estates.....each to his/her own.

[@TheGrandmasterMan]

I didn't know that the middle class weren't allowed to make music. I've learnt something there....the cheeky bastards.

[@martinjones8216]

I wish I was middle class

[@markofsaltburn]

I thought the SWP had folded years ago.

[@Proxylfc]

ahhh just the type of stiudent girls i used to have naughty sessions with after the casablanca club in liverpool . back in the late 80s lovely

[@rmilrta]

No need for that is there?

[@sunwiitch]

🤨

[@GriefTourist]

Yeah the kind of indie girls who weren't interested in me ever

[@mshari1191]

Every thing sucks

[@robertwill23]

Hipsters of mid 80s.

[@Mistico1110]

Anoraks. The right fucking definition is anoraks. Hipsters are by definition posers. By no means these people were like that.

[@rmilrta]

Indie kids. Definitely not hipsters, who are fashionable consumers.

[@craigharrison1274]

pfft Indie kids were "fashionable consumers" as well. Hard core hipsters are the only kids in America that still have real BANDS WITH INSTRUMENTS that go on tours and put out records on small labels who aren't the same fucking bands on tv from 20 years ago. What does it mean to be a hipster? A consumer? So what? We're all consumers. Is it about some in-authenticity? Well that's inevitable for all of us as we move further away from ww2 in these modern industrialized lands where fermented culture is a no no. There's nothing wrong with being a hipster. They're the only ones still trying to carry the torch. Calling people silly names like "hipster" in a derogatory form (because yes, the term wasn't always derogatory) doesn't suddenly make you cool or superior.

[@yohaneuano4]

ha, no...the lead singer, amelia fletcher (a stalwart on the british indie scene, and government economist) isn't even a natural blond...price wasn't a huge fan of talulah gosh's artistic direction; her later band, the carousel, are much more interesting in relation to her art, and much better and more sophisticated in my opinion - although i do like talulah gosh

[@MSTFreak]

+yohaneuano4 You are hitting on things nobody knows about. In my opinion the carousel was a more interesting band. It was funny seeing the roots of twee pop, this song is..........

[@shanearnold7781]

Heavenly's music is quite fantastic as well, though I agree that The Carousel had a more interesting approach and hit higher peaks!

[@davidqlo1377]

Everything sucks!
