Don’t go vacant, baby

♫ Life Without Buildings – The Leanover (MP3) ♫ Life Without Buildings – New Town (MP3) Life Without Buildings are of course waaaayyyy famous – but honestly, I never liked any of their subsequent releases post this, their first 7″.  YES, in this rare case, I am one of those pretentious sounding dweebz who bought [...]

Make a cup of tea, put a record on- strangé hits of the 80s

So just recently, I got around to fixing my rekkid player’s broken needle (after maybe a year of putting it off/being scared of not understanding how to fix it) and SUCHLY I’ve been able to rip a lot of the vinyls I’ve been waiting to play to share with you! LUCKY YOU! This is a [...]

Feels so good being bad

Miniature mixtape selection for you you guyz! These are all tracks heavily on rotation in my headphones on my way into work – think the upbeat is keeping me going through these frrreeezzziiinnngggg times – hopefully it’ll do the same for you! recommend you play them on shuffle and mostly ENJOY! NEW ♫ MEN – [...]

I saw you last night, all night in a dream

I can’t express to you my over-whelming joy at coming across all-girl 80s rock group the Pandoras. They’re fast and furious guitar power-pop and I’m going to sacrilegiously offer up that the lead singer,  Paula Pierce (RIP), has a raw vocal sound similar to an early Courtney Love. I wouldn’t normally do this, but as [...]

I’m tasty

Two tracks about eating lady cake for you! It’s very on trend! ♫ Christina – Woohoo (MP3) I know the album’s got completely slated but I’m still COMPLETELY obsessed with this track. The computer game style vocal effect on the ‘Woohoo’ thrills me as does the Nicki Minaj. Her contribution to the track is minimal [...]

Baby, If I’m hurt, you’ll feel the pain

♫ Best Coast – Boyfriend (MP3) At the forefront of the lo-fi dreamy 60s style pop movement is Best Coast (he says with AUTHORITY haha). When I first heard this, I was convinced she was singing about a girl and was completely thrilling over it (in the way that anytime any alternative music offers anything [...]

Eh hey I’m like a beast

♫ Alexandra Burke – Start Without You (MP3) This summer bang-a-langa was brought to my attention recently by T-Bop of Unskinny Bop. I played it once, thought it sounded a bit like Annie and then listened again and again and again. I’m completely addicted – as I’m sure you will be too! ENJOY!

Crystal eyes

♫ The Nightblooms – Crystal Eyes (MP3) Dreamy grungey lo-fi from the 90s which sounds like it could have been produced by femme-fronted-lofi-noise-makers of current days (bar a few 90s guitar extravagances early in the track). Actually, this sound is atypical of the rest of the Nightbloom’s music unfortunately – ‘why?’ is the question I [...]

In a black hole of misery, I will shine in the sky as the sun with sunglasses

♫ Miniature Tigers – Gold Skull (MP3) ♫ Sleigh Bells – Tell ‘Em (MP3) ♫ Tinie Tempah Ft. Labrinth – Frisky (Album Version) (MP3) ♫ Arcade Fire – Month Of May (MP3) ♫ Kelis – Scream (MP3) ♫ Neverever – Young And Dumb (MP3) ♫ Screaming Females – Arm Over Arm (MP3) ♫ Plushgun – [...]

Chug-a Chug-a motion like a railroad train

♫ H.U.N.X. – Can a man hear me (MP3) ♫ H.U.N.X. – Loco-motion (MP3) Camp extravaganza H.U.N.X is disco side project of none other than Hunx of Hunx and his Punx fame. Loco-motion is a disco danceable homo-rework of Little Eva’s classic – Can a man hear me has a 90s nostalgic dance feel and [...]
