Band'its At Ten O'clock is another 101 release that came out the same year as Live Letters . Unlike that album, this record is a collection of studio cuts and not live records. But it's equally, if not more so, impressive and well worth the listen today. The Scene All People Go Mad You like mod music? These guys sure did. This album came out in 1980, but this song sounds like it was ripped straight out of the late-60s. Great stuff, very [...]
Lest any of you think my pining away this week for a real brick and mortar version of The Vinyl District was some Yoko Ono-like 'wish poem'...well, you're only partly right. Some interesting offers did come our way, although all best seized upon when the thing actually exists. But I don't need this to happen today or tomorrow. Or next week or next month.

The new Weightlifters album, O My Stars, is due
Masonic Genre: Indie / Pop / Rock From: Austin, Texas The UK in the late 1980s saw an upsurge in poppy guitar bands with blonde female lead singers backed by a load of blokes wearing black and trying to look moody. The 'movement', as the inkies like to call it, went under the hugely imaginative epithet "Blonde"(who says journalists can't [...]
I thought I'd round out this Halloween week with some ear candy, Five power pop treats that won't require a trip to the dentist afterwards. First up, what may in fact be the quintessential power pop masterpiece, Starry Eyes by The Records . Followed up in quick succession by Bram Tchiakovsky's sing along ode to a blow-up doll, Aussie wonders The Someloves , some love from the girls with Holly Beth Vincent and her band The Italians , [...]
