Al amanecer – Los Fresones Rebeldes Another great Spanish band of years past who sang in Spanish. And they weren’t on Elefant, which goes to show there were/are whole other scenes to that one. Maybe Los Fresones Rebeldes being from Barcelona put them automatically in an other scene. What do i know? I’m piecing this [...]

Safety Net

Safety net – Shop Assistants I think there’s another song by another band that starts with this exact same floor tom-snare drum beat, this exact same bass line, with the guitar coming in at the exact same time, and i might actually have that song in my head. A more menacing, intense song. Or, to [...]

Dick Clark – Great Plains I had to help my mum move out of our old home today, so that is why this is so late. A big day, and Great Plains’ Dick Clark was in my head at the beginning of it. Writing these every day, it’s a lot less of a diary than [...]
Come Back Jonee

Come back Jonee – Devo If i were an American in the early 70′s and applying for colleges, knowing what i know, picking from history, i would choose Kent State, Ohio. From what i’ve seen it’s a really pretty campus, and is an excellent academic and research school, but oh to see those early Devo [...]
Busy

Busy – Jawbreaker Apparently Jawbreaker stopped playing this song around 1989, refusing all requests for it in the remaining seven years they were a band. I don’t know why. There is probably a good reason for it. Being respectful about something, to someone, maybe? No longer wanting to stir up this song’s cause and sentiment? [...]
Something Going On

Something Going On – The Pastels I watched Upside Down: The Creation Records Story last night and of course it wasn’t good enough for me. It wasn’t made for me. It should have been called “Breezy excerpts from the Creation Records story: Catalogue numbers 12, 15, 55, 57, 70, 73, 87, 96… blah, etc. with [...]
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Breaking up is hard to do – Neil Sedaka In figuring out that Buddy Holly song yesterday i went through what seemed like a thousand other songs of its vintage trying to find it. Rock/R&B, male vocals, late 50′s/early 60′s – that’s the world i had to scour. Understandably, a lot of them stuck with [...]
Everyday

Everyday – Buddy Holly It took forever for me to figure out this song. Oldies. It’s so hard when you have only the melody and no lyrics. The amount of leads i’ve followed, the amount of 50′s/60′s rock compilation videos i’ve watched. I felt like going to a record store and asking what’s that song [...]
Wallpaper Stripes

Wallpaper stripes – Liechtenstein This is the sound of an ocean – a churning, heaving ocean. An ocean that meets nothing but rocks and cliffside, with a lone figure on top, all below reflecting all within. That’s it to me. The way the verse loops around seemingly when it wants to. It sounds like it [...]
