Woooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooo!

"Grand Prix" and "Bandwagonesque" are among my favourite records ever. And most of the others aren't too shabby either.

I did love TFC dearly back in the early '90s. Going to see 'em again a year or two back was a big mistake, tho'. They have got so old, and so have I...

Norman had a haircut so atrocious he actually apologised for it, plus he was wearing a jumper that he should've been able to apologise for itself. I don't expect everyone to look like Interpol or The Bled or anything, but come on...

Macrocosmica (Brendan O'Hare's "new" band) are the best thing to come out of TFC.

Highly recommended for all fans of Part Chimp on account of the loudness when they play. Not just volume, they're just BIG.

A thousand dads now have to toss up between painting the back bedroom or buying a ticket to see them play 'What You Do To Me' for the 76th time - I liked them at college (it was either that or the Wonderstuff) but really there is something of the tucked-in t-shirt in jeans about them now - maybe Im just not pleased enough with myself or maybe I played 'Thirteen' far too often

and let's face it that album was terribly turdlike

The last album was a bit hit and miss, but as with all Teenage Fanclub albums there was a couple of real gems on there. Songs For Northern Britain is a really underrated album, as good as Grand Prix in my opinion. There'll always be a place in my heart for the Fannies.

Nice Man (Francis Mac) have a few stunning songs (the few that I've heard, it may be that the rest are as good) plus he runs Shoeshine

Stumbled across songs from Northern Britain many years ago, subsequently got into Grand prix and Thirteen and never looked back. Songs from... is still the one that gets me every time. Cannie wait for the album...
