Manic Street Preachers - Velocity Girl

The first ever track I posted on indie-mp3 in February 2002 was Velocity Girl by Primal Scream. As that track was re-issued on last years CD86 compilation I thought I do the next best thing and post the cover of it by the Manic Street Preachers.

Originally a b-side on one of the CD releases of their single Australia it later turned up on 2003's Lipstick Traces - A Secret History compilation.

The Manics were big fans of C86 as this interview of Nick Wire in The Guardian testifies.

About

Are You Scared To Get Happy takes it's name from the Bristol fanzine of the same name that was produced by Matt Haynes who later co-founded Sarah Records.

This little blog is just my tribute to the indie pop scene of years past and I hope you enjoy it. This blog is created in the spirit of my original indie-mp3 site which existed between 2002 - 2005 and is now a fully fledged music review site.

I endeavour to update it on a weekly basis with tracks posted by me being available for a limited period. Feel free to leave comments or contact me. If posting a track offends get in touch and I will take it down.

Listen Now!
