The Pastels - Songs for Children 7"

The Pastels story goes back to the early '80s, when Stephen McRobbie (known as Stephen Pastel) and David Keegan co-owned a record label called 53rd & 3rd, home to beloved and influential bands such as The Vaselines and The Soup Dragons. They also played in a group named The Shop Assistants together with a girl, Aggi Wright. Stephen and Aggi soon broke off into their own group, which they named The Pastels. They released a number of singles in the mid '80s until 1987 when they released their first LP, entitled Up For A Bit With The Pastels. Early on, the lineup of the Pastels included members of Teenage Fanclub and The Vaselines, and David from the Shop Assistants even joined up for a time. These different groups and their contemporaries pioneered an entirely new genre of music that developed from labels such as their 53rd & 3rd, Subway, Pink, Creation, Glass, and others. The genre was known as a number of different things, early on called "shambling" or "anorak" pop, and now known commonly as Twee or as c86 - after the benchmark cassette compilation named c86 that music mag NME released in 1986. The Pastels released their first single, "Songs for Children," in 1982. For several subsquent years, they released new music only sporadically on a string of various record labels. The Pastels existed as a loose collective of players and their line-up changed frequently.

Mose Allison - Mose Alive !

"The man’s voice was heaven. So cool, so decisively hip... Mose was my man. I felt him to be the epitome of restrained screaming power."
Pete Townshend (The Who)

"When I discovered Mose Allison I felt I had discovered the missing link between jazz and blues"
Ray Davies (The Kinks)

Born November 11, 1927 Mose Allison is an American jazz pianist and singer. His songs have been covered by Van Morrison, John Mayall, The Who, The Clash, Eric Clapton, the Yardbirds, Elvis Costello and Bonnie Raitt to name a few. Rockers like Pete Townshend, Bonnie Raitt, Ray Davies and Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones have frequently cited him as a major influence, Mose continues to write and perform all over the world. Directly ripped from my vinyl, recorded live (1965) at the Lighthouse, in Hermosa Beach, California. Mose Allison, piano & vocals; Stan Gilbert, bass; Mel Lee, drums.
Maybe scrtachy but it's worth it!!

V/A - Where the Sea Meets the Sky

A 2005 sampler from Earworm records, a UK indie label (now closed) owned by a Fuxa member focusing on 7" vinyl records, 12" vinyl records and (from time to time) a CD release here and there.Features contributions from The Earlies, Tunng, Echoboy, Sonic Boom, Woodcraft Folk and others. Erring on the side of guitars, Earworm nonetheless keep their foot firmly in the leftfield electronic camp; with both sides of this duality nicely reflected on 'Where the Sea...'. Kevin Shields, Suicide, Vashti, etc are in da house....

Group Home - Livin' Proof

Maybe the best hip hop album ever.....
Group Home's (Melachi Da Nutcracker and Lil Dap) debut album "Livin' Proof" (1995) was an impressive first release. Produced by one of my hip hops most established producers DJ Premier of Gang Starr for MCs that appeared on his projects(Melachi and Dap appear on Daily Operation, Hard to Earn) this album is laced with excellent first class beats to remember.

Tall Drawfs - Fork Songs

A New Zealand band that have influenced a bunch of bands. the sound it's awesome, charming, and it becomes more interesting as you take new listenings. if you like pop you should get it, if you like lo-fi pop you must get it. Tall Dwarfs introduced this concept - accompanied by strong, richly melodic guitar-and-synth material - with the EP,Three Songs: A Future (1981), the first of a succession of sporadic releases on the financially challenged Flying Nun. Early EP tracks were collected for the compilation Hello Cruel World (1987), and with a grant from the New Zealand Arts Council they made their first proper album, Weeville, in 1990. It showcased the band's sound and the sharp, political edge of Knox's satirical lyrics, and it was in retrospect their finest hour. The next - tenth anniversary - album, Fork Songs (1991), was a more uneasy combination, with the alluring tunes at odds with Knox's increasingly bleak and morbid lyrics ('Thoughts of death inside us/Coil and eat the oatmeal of our brains'). Red Krayola, Kinks, Beach Boys, Velvet UNderground, what else can i say? To know more http://latham.dropbear.id.au/stasis/stasisba.htm

Ray Charles - Crying Time

My real first inspiration. When i was 8 i found a Ray Charles tape in my auntie's house and i started to listen music. Ray Charles is God! This is an ABC record from 1966 ripped directly from vinyl. Let's go get stoned, Going down slow, Drifting Blues are definitive pearls of music history. I often immagine Reid (J&MC) brothers singing Ray and driving, don't you?

Apse - Eras

Apse is an American rock band signed to Spanish label Acuarela Discos and the UK label ATP Recordings [1]. The band has moved through many different musical styles since its inception, weaving together at various times shoegazer, Heavy Metal, gothic rock, post-punk, prog-rock, industrial, and post-rock influences; while at the same time dabbling in tribal, experimental, ambient and ethereal atmospheres. The most common lyrical themes have to do with spirituality, relationships with others (human as well as paranormal or divine), paranoia, power, and control. Wikipedia

Greg Ashley - Medicine Fuck Dream

The only press release Greg Ashley needed for his debut album was a handwritten letter from Mom. "We are embarrassed that the word FUCK is directly associated with Greg Ashley's name on the Internet," the delicate cursive handwriting reads. "Millions can view the granddaddy of foul words in association with our name." Still, someone should explain to Mrs. Ashley that removing the second word from Medicine Fuck Dream would be no sweat off the beast with two backs. Wonderful record, a little bit of Velvet Underground, Syd Barret, Spacemen 3. Even Ashley's cover of Hank Williams's "Lost Highway" turns country music's road-trip classic into a tale about ambling toward death. Sorry, Ma.

Rodriguez - Swing Like a Metronome

Matt Ward, Kyle Field, and Mike Funk have committed themselves to art and creativity above all else. Less than ironic is the stunning cover of Townes Van Zandt's "Loretta". Then they do "Tom Violence"., Sonic Youth - . And they do it quietly, like Neil Young would, Pajo flavoured, is a good start for next indie folk stars Little Wings and M Ward
