There's a rising note of panic as Adam attempts to argue his way in - having tried an alien from the future and a doctor from the past, he's now hoping these are the names to drop: But it's a great excuse for us to enjoy this: [Buy: Woodentops BBC Sessions ] [Part of the illustrated Friends ] -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch
Bon, le lundi c'est du caca, alors, il est du devoir de ww2w d'essayer diarrhivéer à le wendre plus mieux. Aujourd'hui, ce sera grâce aux Woodentops. Depuis une bonne semaine, je passe mes journées à me réécouter du Suicide ou du Alan Vega. Ça m'a donné à réfléchir au sens de ma vie et aussi [...]
I got caught up in eighties balearic beat after reading this article in a 1988 edition of Mixmag. It's great to hear how much this stands apart from what people would consider 'balearic' these days, yet it perfectly embodies what's so fantastic about the genre. Needs more cowbell, you say? I say: live version ! The Woodentops - Why Why Why (Extended Mix) (ALT)

Uncut Magazine and I had a pretty amazing relationship between the turn of the millennium and about 2004 or 2005. Basically, I would buy it every month and turn straight to the reviews section and the cover mount CD of what they considered to be the best of new music released that month, and devour both simultaneously, taking notes about what I wanted to spend that monthís meagre wages on. Those cover mount CDs were amazing, at the time, and almost invariably related to that monthís new releases, but in the last few years they have become way, [...]
A 1986 Rough Trade album made by a band who sound like an old kids ptogramme: jangling old-school indie tweeness, surely? Well, it certainly made sense that the Woodentops were on Rough Trade, but they always had something that set them apart from their peers. Giant , their first album, was defined by an acoustic sound a bit like very enthusiastic busking, and by fast and complex percussion. With hindsight the Woodentops were making a much better fist of the 'indie dance' thing than most of their contemporaries, and the rhythms of Giant looked forward to house. [...]
John Peel in 1976. As before, thanks to people who have helped me complete gaps, so I thought I would share some of these with you: First up, many thanks to Steve for this, which was actually a UK Top 20 hit single the following year,but I couldn't find. Cheers Steve! Racing Cars - 'They Shoot Horses Don't They?' mp3 (1976 Festive Fifty no.7) Another beautiful, sad song...maybe there WAS some good music pre-punk after all *tongue in cheek* Matching Mole -'O Caroline.' mp3 [...]
1986...small town Ohio Elyria West High School's Senior Prom! A date with my "best girlfriend" (uh huh)! And the song that reminds me most of this occassion? "Say you, Say Me?" "I Miss You" by Klymaxx? "Broken Wings?" "Greatest Love of All?" Nope. Try the Woodentops' "Give It Time." Huh? Let me explain...our senior prom was awful and hideous. We didn't even have a live band like Midview High's prom (Me & the Boys, a local new wave-ish cover band with a hot chick singer that would do [...]
OK, part two of my attempt to fill in the blanks of Rhino's worthy but incomplete Brit Box chronicling the UK indie scene from 1985 - 2000. (Part One, or Disc Five, is here.) Mind you, these are filtered through...
The good folks at Rhino always manage to release at least one killer box set a year, and in 2007 it looks to be The Brit Box: U.K. Indie, Shoegaze, and Brit Pop Gems of the Last Millennium. It collects...

Last in the series. An exploration of the weird indie phenomenon known as 'the classic fourth single'. Enjoy! The Wedding Present David Gedge's raucous chiming jangling guitar monsters born in 1984 and still going. Feted by John Peel, they produced the classic album George Best on the independent Reception records, who also compiled their classic early singles on the album Tommy and released a
Time for another installment of the Coulda-Shoulda-Woulda Files, where we raid our cassingle collection in search of a lost gem. Artist: The Woodentops Album: "Maybe It Won't Last," 1988 What happened: Wooden Foot Cops On The Highway was the final album by the British band The Woodentops; while it boasted "spiritual assistance" from Lee "Scratch" Perry, fans of the band's earlier material were put off by it, although the track "Stop This Car" enjoyed minor success on the LA radio station KROQ.

Picture taken by getthebubbles "I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much; my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it. And then it flows through me like rain, and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid [...]
En attendant la rentrée rock (pour situer : un peu comme la rentrée littéraire, les milliers d'arbres morts en moins, la tendance catalogue de mode - "retour du rock", "néo-folk baba" - en plus), retour sur quelques-unes des découvertes de mon été rock. Liz Phair - 6'1'' (MP3) The Woodentops - Good Thing (MP3) Phil Seymour - We Don't Get Along (MP3) Galanterie oblige, je commence par le Exile In Guyville de Liz Phair . Misogynie oblige, [...]
