Here are his weekly recommendations… Monday 6 December 2010 #5: The Field Mice Who: Bobby Wratten, Michael Hiscock, Harvey Williams, Annemari Davis, Mark Dobson. When: 1980’s-1990’s. Where: UK. Why: With snow a foot deep outside and icy frostbitten winds turning your skin to marble, you’ve probably spent the last week barricaded in your bedrooms, safely away from Yorkshire’s meteorological torments. In which case I present the perfect chilly bedroom band; The Field Mice. Children of Sarah Records, the quintessential jangly 80’s indie-pop label, the band’s poetically minimal lyrics, spacious arrangements and heartfelt melodies shone through a fug of mumbling be-cardiganed peers. Originally a school-formed duo comprising of Robert Wratten and Michael Hiscock, their first efforts, including EP ‘Emma’s House’ and single ‘Sensitive’, brought them Top 20 Indie Chart hits and glowing endorsement from hip priest John Peel. In 1990 they expanded into a five-piece, adding Harvey Williams of cult miserablists Another Sunny Day on guitar, as well as Wratten’s ex-girlfriend Annemari, presumably to increase the atmosphere of lost love and yearning that pervaded the grooves of those early adventures in acetate to new emotional levels. This tactic worked magnificently, as ‘Anyone Else Isn’t You’, ‘A Heart Disease Called Love’ and ‘Willow’ count as a handful of the most aching and lovelorn songs ever recorded. While the band have been unhelpfully placed by careless critics into the dusty attic-box label of ‘twee C86 indie’, The Field Mice were in truth far more interesting than that. Yes, they may have shared sonic space with The Shop Assistants http://nouse.co.uk/2010/12/06/band-of-the-week-the-field-mice Archived 11 Dec 2018 01:02:15 Nouse Web Archives Band of the Week: The Field Mice Page 2 of 3 and The Pastels, but their breed of whimsically, knowingly despondent pop also often incorporated an electronic aspect. Taking a cue from several Factory Records bands in both cover art and textures, songs like ‘Triangle’ and ‘Humblebee’ were rife with sequencers and glacial synths. Indeed, the NME at the time seemed to think that the epic ‘Missing The Moon’ was the first cross- pollination of acid house and indie. While that particular scribe clearly hadn’t heard of A Certain Ratio, this element to their sound did make The Field Mice seem the unlikely love children of The Smiths and New Order. That’s not to say the techno element was extant; plenty of songs merely rely on sparse guitars or mourning cellos. While the band’s crystalline, minimalist sound is immediately arresting and evocative; it’s Wratten’s plaintive, baleful lyrics and spine-tingling melodies that really make this a band to treasure. As for modern relevance, the band are clearly still trickling down the stream of influence – it would be hard to differentiate their classic ‘Sensitive’ from any track off of last year’s celebrated debut LP from The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. So next time you fancy some mordant jangle to fit the scene outside the window, try The Field Mice for the original deal. Just don’t leave any knives lying around. Influences: New Order, The Velvet Underground, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, The Byrds. Influenced: Saint Etienne, Belle & Sebastian, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Wild Nothing. Sample Lyric: ‘He doesn’t love you, I’m the one who loves you, he’s the one you love’.

    iisiiil • ..... Cover: Rectoi ion Time - The Answ< la, p3 ! Rector's Question Time: 'I don't think that starving is the next option' Sir Eric Ash, Rector of Imperial College, took part in a question and answer session on Monday evening. Over a hundred students listened as Sir Eric fielded questions on a'wide range of student and non student issues. Union President , Mr Paul Shanley, chaired the discussion and took both prepared and spontaneous questions from the floor. Despite the controversial nature of many of the topics raised the atmosphere remained relaxed and somewhat informal. Although many questions centered on student concerns, money and accommodation - the lack of it, the presence of college staff ensured a broader base to the discussion. The most notable aspect of the discussion was the circular nature of many problems facing both student and staff alike; at the centre of that circle was money. In Sir Eric's own words 'people might find it hard to believe but before I came to Imperial I was not obsessed with money.' In answer to the question 'Now that the binary divide has gone, and that some polytechnics in London may achieve University status, is it time that Imperial should reconsider the benefits of London University and investigate opting out?' Sir Eric stated 'we haven't stopped thinking about it (opting out)'. He continued that althrinoh Imrwiiil '^a "6" iO run our own (university)', with Imperial Caught between the Devil and the deep blue sea gaining little benefit in terms of cut price deals organised through the University of investment of a loan.

Sans pinceau le doigt seul place et fond chaque teinte; Le duvet du papier en conserve l’empreinte; Un crystal la défend; ainsi, de la beauté Le Pastel a l’éclat et la fragilité.1 It is at once line and colour – a sort of synthesis of the traditional opposition that had been debated vigorously by theoreticians such as Roger de Piles in the previous century.

We've put a ton of time and energyinto this particular edition, and we think you'll have lots of fun with the overview. After all, with some 90 + stations responding to our sur- vey, it's basically your window on RockWorld as it went down this past year. The first year of any new business is hell on wheels, (Groanong, creaking, barking dog sound efx, please) and we've seen quite a parade in '87. When I look back over my final comments last year (after nine issues), it sounded as if we had moved mountains. And in a way we had, starting from scratch to a full service publication some 140 stations deep. But in the 12 months since, it has become readily apparent that we were barely walking then.
