| Top 100 Indie Singles Listed By Rough Trade |
In 1999 a letter with the name ROUGH TRADE printed on the letterhead landed in a mailbox in Stockholm. It started with a simple "Hiya, Here Is Our Top 100" and what followed was 106 singles and EPs listed by Rough Trades own indie expert Sean to be published in the last issue of Pop. Yes, 106. No we don't know if Sean is really bad with math or just couldn't help himself and added a couple of extra ace tracks.
Anyway, we've decided to play these singles on Saturday. These bits of vinyl mean the world to us and are a big part of why we started So Tough! So Cute! so please come and join us for this trip.
As with the "De 100 Bästa Indiepopsinglarna (Någonsin)" party there will be a list where we'll be ticking off each track and hopefully you'll find a new favourite.
It took us 12 years to track these singles down and we do have quite a lot of them but far from all so if you happen to have any of them please bring it with you on the night and we'll play it.
