Teenage Fanclub live on the radio, Wednesday August 3rd 2005, at KEXP in Seattle to promote the release of ‘Man-Made’. What can you say about Teenage Fanclub that’s not been said already? Not a lot, which is why I’ll let the music do the talking this time. This session is an all-acoustic affair, although ‘Born Under a Good Sign’ benefits from some subtle fuzzed-up lead guitar, and sounds like a lost outtake from Forever Changes, or maybe even LA Woman-era Doors. Yep. It’s that good. This session is worth getting just for this track alone. In the interviews, Norman does most of the talking, which veers from golf, to “plodding along” as Teenage Fanclub, to playing dice with the Posies, to not listening to his own records. Not all that exciting, but as far as Teenage Fanclub material goes, you need it to fill the gaps in your collection, at least until their next album or single or song or verse or new chord or something comes out. Haste ye back Fannies, we’re missing you.
All tracks have been seperated, but if you burn them ‘gapless’ in Nero or whatever, you’ll get that full seemless radio listening experience.
Insert your own Teenage Fanclub ‘Radio’ joke here:

Thanks for the great posts and in particular for the Teenage Fanclub material.
I’ve never given TFC much thought – probably b/c I’ve never heard them on US radio, and b/c I really began to lose interest in the whole guitar/drums/bass rock thing just about the time they showed up in the US.
Having listened to both the KEXP live tracks and that fun little Rundgren cover, it’s clear that they’re nice guys, and that they’ve got the goods, so I’ll be checking them out. By the way, the track marked “Feel” on the KEXP post is actually an interview segment. Feel seems to be missing. Thanks again.

The track “Feel” isn’t here… I was wondering if perhaps it could be re-posted? Thank you so much!!
