After a long time of a different world, I'm playing lots of music. I/we need good music.
Tonight it was TV Personalities 1st LP 'Don't The Kids Just Love It'


Reason is that I've been listening to a chap called 'Mick Trouble'. If you know TVP, listen to Mick Trouble.

The Lithics.

Americans sounding like Wire/Kleenex/Fall/Bands on Fast Products/1980.
I rather like them. Here's a track from their previous LP.

The Neutrals.

Americans sounding Scottish. Scottish punk jangle. Theys claim they're from Oakland, California. They are more Scottish than The Proclaimers. They even do a cover version of a well known Scottish bands B-side.

Americans sounding Scottish.

I listened to tracks from both of these today. Electricity and The Green Fields of France came up on my random playlist.

Both of those tracks are part of my growing up (not that I ever did much of that). I remember John Peel playing The Green Fields and being stunned.

One of the best gigs I've been to was OMD at the Friars in Aylesbury around 1980.

Speaking of Scottish singers, l’m listening to Gerry Cinnamon’s erratic cinematic at the moment

 

[Orifice]

Right then, here's another band that no-one has ever heard of. With a terrible name too.
Latest LP realeased Dec 2019. They sound a little college rock, a little 1979 power pop. If you liked The Donkeys you may like this.

I saw them as part of the Rough Trade tour. The support was from 'Essential Logic' and also 'Robert Rental & The Normal'. Truly amazing.

Inflamable Material had come out that week I think.
