Keeping C06 Alive

Posted on July 9th, 2006 by Mike Smith

a.JPGTom over at the fantastic UK mp3 blog “Keeping C86 Alive” has been working really hard to keep the Indie-pop scene alive. Tom focuses on music that owes something to a scene started by NME when they released a cassette tape simply called C86 (Cassette 86)

Tom suggested a C06 tape/CD/Zip file to commerate 20 years since the cassette that sparked a whole movement. The nominations are in and c06 is out! Go to his site and download the whole thing. All the tracks are free and legal downloads from unsigned or indie bands. The artwork is pretty good too!

I suggested Tom include a track by The Sweethearts, and he did. Here’s a different track than the one on the CD by the superb indie-poppers:

Artist: The Sweethearts

mp3: Blue Skies

    Thanks for the plug Mike. I forgot you suggested The Sweethearts. I could have put Sky Larkin on after all! :)
