Snapper - Buddy

This is too good, so here is the video in full...

The Dead C - Sky

The Dead C have a new album out - "Patience" on Ba Da Bing. Not everyone's cup of tea and not a band that has an appreciative audience in Casa Iglesias. However, I love them. I saw them at ATP a few years ago and it was one of those gigs that just turns your musical world upside down.

Here is a classic clip of them on NZ TV performing "Sky". There's an interview too. And watch out for a clip of Snapper's awesome "Buddy"

Just Friends - Dogmatic Element

A real charmer of a song from Northern Irish band Dogmatic Element. Released in 1982, this was probably a little bit ahead of its time with its jangly indy pop guitar and lovely (if a little slight) vocal. Very much in the Sarah Records, C86 vein of things.

Un soir chez Norris. Beautiful Tune. Think the kind gentlemen at Finders Keepers put this on one of their comps.

Jeck your head

Super Supersilent

I've been listening to Supersilent 10 almost constantly since I got it. It's easily one of my favourite releases of theirs. Supersilent 11 is patiently waiting in the post office for me to collect it. (Ah those red Royal Mail "Sorry, you were out" slips, how much I love thee...)

Here is a clip from the Supersilent 7 which was released on DVD. It's a fantastic live performance filmed (on Super 8 I hope!) by Kim Hiorthoy.

Flexi Fun #1


a short trip through the world of the flexi

probably on a slippery slope here as this is by far my favourite

a free fexi with the Italian fanzine Chainsaw containing 3 of the finest moments in UK DIY Punk. Badly recorded badly played masterpieces of ingenuity and curiosity. I have a a huge love affair with this sound, lo fi at it's convenience. 3 bands, The Tronics, Dancing Did and the legendary Instant Automatons. I tried to record the whole thing but the Tronics track seems to be wrecked, there ya go, that'll learn me to bring it out to play...

here's the Dancing Did
