Transvision Vamp were a British alternative rock group. Formed in 1986 by Nick Christian Sayer and Wendy James the band enjoyed chart success in the late 1980s. James, the lead singer and focal-point of the group, attracted media attention with her sexually-charged and rebellious image. Velveteen is the second album from UK pop/rock band Transvision Vamp. The album was released in 1989, a year after their debut album Pop Art. Read more »
Transvision Vamp - Twangy Wig-Out
Using Serge & Jane's Je t'aime... moi non plus as a backdrop for your own song - Scottish rockers Texas did it (for Guitar song, see here ) but until last week I wasn't aware Transvision Vamp did it too, and ten years earlier. Who or what a 'twangy wigout' exactly is, I dont know. I guess that's not the point of the song, that focusses on singer Wendy James adding as much air to her breathy vocals as possible. Which is nice. The song is on the third and last TV-album 'Little [...]
Thailand doesn't pop up on the radar much here in the States. But Thailand is without a doubt one of the more fascinating places I've ever visited. From the commercialized seediness of Patpong and the filth, congestion and poverty of much of the city to the gleam of modern skyscrapers, bustling street markets, and the lush beauty of the countryside, Thailand is a scene. Six months after returning from the country, I was spawled on the couch in my college apartment watching CNN. There was Bangkok. Specifically, there was the lobby of [...]
A reader and contributor from way back in the early days, Jeff in Chicago , dropped me a note last week asking for " pre -baggy/ Madchester ' Blonde ' stuff" I'm guessing he means the likes of this:- mp3 : The Primitives - Really Stupid The Primitives formed in the mid 80s, and while the music was pretty decent, it was the presence of an attractive singer called [...]

In this edition of my 1000 Minutes I've decided to step back in time abit. Part Nine was almost real time in terms of track age, so this seems appropriate at this stage in time. What are my 1000 Minutes? Find out here. 30. Longpigs - On & On [4:11] [time remaining 890:09] (Drop io) (Alt Link YSI) Considering how much I loved Brit Pop, the fact that 'The Sun Is Often Out' by the Longpigs wasn't in my CD collection [...]

Tom Smirch is a typical American... "Fuck you, nanny state jerks! This is the land of the FREE!" ...with a typically American sense of moral obligation. "Oh, well. If anyone asks, I'll say it was started by illegal immigrants." Tom's ecological conscience makes him perfectly suited for work in the oil industry, where he can work to generate windfall [...]
Frequent readers of my blog might know that I really like overlong songs. I guess it started during the 80ies when I fell for those long remixes, and discovered some of the psychedelic tunes of the 70ies that bands like Pink Floyd made. And in 1989, I've heard a long song for the first time that from that day on remained one of my all-time-favourites. The song I mean is Velveteen by UK powerpunk band Transvision Vamp [...]
