- This is Spiritualized performing Come Together (live)
In a new series I'm going to defend the very best of so called "Indie" music and try to highlight some of the tracks and bands that I really like.

I’ve seen them numerous times. But the first time was for Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating in Space in a fairly small club. With those lights people were dropping all over the place. It’s one of two concerts I’ve seen where songs would end and I would remember I was in a club.
Great live track! Indie rock was what I was listening to in the nineties (with a good dose of Texas roadhouse country rock...I am from Austin after all). I still listen to those acts I saw live those many years ago...John Hiatt, James McMurtry, Indigo Girls, Black Crowes.
BTW, NPR Music is the TH-cam channel for National Public Radio. If you haven't yet, check out their Tiny Desk Concert series

Right on Jim
NPR is National Public Radio, a non-profit that provides programming for 1000 public radio stations in the USA.
Good info!
Great opening title sequence, Jim!
Thank you!
I didn’t know they were from Rugby! Used to love them! I live about 10miles away.
Listening to you at the moment from CA!
We’d have been practically neighbours!
Lazer Guided Melodies was pretty special but have to say the other half of the Spacemen 3 particle decay from 1992, Spectrum's Soul Kiss (Glide Divine), was/is even better.
They’re an amazing band and Jason Pierce is a brilliant songwriter.
To me “Ladies and Gentlemen we are Floating in Space” is easily a top 5 album from the 90’s. Its followup “Let it Come Down” is probably even better and something of an overlooked masterpiece. Not sure I would call them Indie tough, I would even go as far as saying there’s a certain proggy element to them…
Keep it up Jim, great to see the evolution of your channel!
Thanks for giving the video a shot! I’m certain this won’t get many views but for those willing to venture in, it’s worth it! Indie as a genre is very broad and quite diverse…. Spiritualized got played on the radio and were on Jules Holland’s TV show, so get lumped in with Embrace, Death Cab For Cutie and Modest Mouse…. None of them sound alike but are all in that subset! Thanks for watching 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@JimNewstead Hope your video gets them some new fans. They are truly a brilliant band.
Hey Jim! Hope you have a great weekend!😎
You too! You can sit this one out Jeff!!!
@@JimNewstead Thanks Jim!😎
😆😎
Brilliant song, but I do like all sorts of music. Have a cracking weekend! 😎🍺🎧
Agreed.... you too!
I didn't even know Spiritualized are considered indie. I just think of them as space/neo-psych rock with wild mild prog leanings. Anyhow, this video (within a video) is a great surprise!
I think they're bundled in with indie.... like Embrace and Doves etc...
@@JimNewstead Yeah, I think you're right. I can definitely see how they would fit into indie from what I know of it, but I don't know much which is why it's not immediately obvious to me.
Seems to me that Indie has been about the only thing worth listening to since the mid-70s. The charts seem to bear that out. My idea of indie stems from the exports from other countries, in different wrappings, from VDGG to Faust to Henry Cow to Elliott Carter to George Crumb to Chemical Brothers, Tame Impala, Paramore, Fitz & the Tantrums, The Arcs, Temples, MGMT, Portugal: The Man, Elbow, Of Monsters & Men, Syd Arthur, The National, Maximo Park, Richard Hawley, Robyn Hitchcock, Strumbellas, Arctic Monkeys, Jose Gonzales, Splashh, Lord Huron, Ray LaMontagne, White Denim, Boxed In, Doves, The Sundays, War On Drugs, Keane, Borns, Bright Eyes, Moth & Flame, Dum Dum Girls, Deerhoof, Halsey, Houndmouth, Sleater-Kenney, Yo La Tengo, Metric, The Rebel Light, Coves, Aborted Mozarts, Alex Clare, Bleached, Radiohead, Portishead, Animal Kingdom, Bastille, Jungle, Yukon Blonde, Concrete Blonde, Lemon Drops, La Luz, and/or Donnie Osmond. Not sure where most of them fit in the scheme of things, but each seem to have a certain uniquenessness that is rare among the concentric hordes.
That is a FABULOUS list of bands, good ears my friend!
@@JimNewstead And you as well, my dear Magister of Musick. A while back I created a youtube playlist with those very bands in it, showcasing good work from THIS century. You can hit play all and sample, sample, sample, without ruining potential future creations. th-cam.com/play/PLZEINYIMlZTLe4mOn0kln0_Fb4LjfWOFC.html
I appreciate your enchantment with this music (it ain't bad) but I don't understand how repeating the same riff over & over, ad nauseum, can be considered brilliant. But thanks for the look into your musical roots Jim.
It takes all sorts 😁
Indie, huh?
Have you given a listen to wedgepiece? I'm sure Scot @TheProgCorner could guide you through their stuff. 💖
Er…. No? Maybe? Not that I’m aware!
@@JimNewstead
I don't actually know them myself, but Scot's about info on the bird app says:
"Scot Lade is the Prog Rock critic for The Fire Note and lead singer of the once great wedgepiece."
So, I figured I would mention them. I guess I should see if there is anything uploaded for them.
