Bookmarks: Talulah Gosh

To mark the release of the Talulah Gosh retrospective (for which he wrote the liner notes), Everett True measures his love:

I loved them because they loved the same bands as me – Razorcuts, The Pastels, (early) Soup Dragons, Buzzcocks, Ramones, Girls At Our Best!, Marine Girls, Altered Images, Shop Assistants, (early) Primal Scream, The Shangri-La’s, The Ronettes, Trixie’s Big Red Motorbike, Dolly Mixture. I never knew this at the time … except for the first three or four, obviously … it was just an unspoken understanding.

I loved them because they were always ready to burst into a quick chorus of “ba ba ba ba” at the drop of a hair-slide.
