I went to St Tropez two weekends ago. Yes, I know. Read what I did there here.

About Me
- Jude Rogers
- London, United Kingdom
- Hello hello, Jude Rogers here, a music writer for The Guardian, The Word Magazine, the Observer and the New Statesman. Back in the dim and distant, I founded flag-waving women's website The Lipster, and co-founded a quarterly magazine-shaped love letter to the city in which I live, Smoke: A London Peculiar. I'm also a Mercury Music Prize judge, shonky DJ, map-loving geek, motormouth, and tireless romantic who has been made up a cup of tea by Robert Plant and been present while Cat Power had a wee. Wipe your feet on the way in, please, put the kettle on, or, if you'd rather, e-mail me here.

OMG, overwhelming Proustian rushes or what!
Ahh, that brought back Saturday mornings as a teenager! The Indie chart was always annoying when you had some big band, who were for some reason signed to an independent label, who would sabotage the likes of Spacemen 3 and Carter from their moment of glory. Rather annoyingly, I can’t think of which bands they were at the moment!
Also nice to see the days before Nirvana could afford to make a video...
It's rather pleasing that My Bloody valentines rather opaque video got shown on childrens tv. Was the indie chart every week or every three weeks? i know there was always tension in our house as to if they would "stop" at your fave band or move on to rubbish like the Mission. Also "Birdland" anyone where we ever that young?
how could anyone stop this mid bruce?
i used to work for the chart show as a runner when they edited at the plaza suite. we often made "videos" for indie bands by placing and moving our hands under a rostrum camera and vigorously moving them to a random beat whilst danny changed the colour through the mixer. Ah halcyon days. Honestly if there was no video we would use ripped paper or moving hands to create one.
honest to god, philip davey was the series producer and suzanne was the producer.
you may not know this but when the mouse was used to click on a subject - that was a commodore amiga
