I like the JAMC better than Orange Juice.

My vote Orange Juice and Teenage Fanclub. Met Edwyn and Grace Maxwell when Roddy Frame did the Highland Hard Rain set at Manchester Bridgewater a few years back. Recommend their book Falling & Laughing.

By the way Roddy name checked Crocodile during the set

JAMC for me. Oh, and Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, if you count them as a Scottish band, although he himself wasn't Scottish.

Good call, VB.

On that basis can I have Talking Heads as David Byrne was born in Scotland

Only found out about this when I heard it on 6 Music earlier this week

No. I'm sure you're right FC, Donald did build a golf course, a beautiful golf course, the best golf course you have seen.

Alright, then. David Byrne lived in Canada before moving to the States. His Desert Island Discs was good. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09vz6r1

Just looked at his selection
Extra Kudos for Funkadelic's One Nation Under a Groove

Could dance all day to that on my Desert Island

[Happy Death Man]

I'd have put Cocteau Twins at number 1.

What qualifies as "indie" now? It used to mean a band on an independent label.

Primal Scream was on Sire, JAMC were on a subsidiary of WEA, OJ was on Polydor.

I think it means a fringe and skinny kecks (usually with turn ups!)
