Cameronoise – What If We Just Stop Using Their Money?
Instrumental power pop is a rarity, but this 6 track EP proves those tasty riffs, sharp guitar hooks and swinging grooves work just fine without a vocalist on top.

Trying very hard here never to upload to Youtube again. All part of Degoogling one's life! I've had approval from the drummer and the singer of Le Beat Group Electronique to upload bootlegs of their pub gigs starting from the 1980s. So for any oldschoolers who like foot-taping pub rock, do check it out on Makertube...

V/A - Heroes Of the Night: Punk, Pop & Wave from the UK Underground '79-'83
I listened to this comp on my long drive home yesterday. Best song imho is the opener, but the whole thing is good.
"A first of its kind document of all female-fronted U.K. and Irish Punk, Power Pop, New Wave, Hard Rock and Synth-Pop 45s! A selection from a dozen of the greatest and rarest femme-vox 7’s"

There are a handful of labels where, if I see their logo on the record, I buy it.
Restless, Relativity, and Twilight are definitely a few.
And of course… Twin/Tone.
There are obvious bands that have graced that label (The Replacements, Soul Asylum), but they also put out stellar records by some lesser known bands.
THIS is one of those gems.

The prompt is Yen
Pete Shelley, “Sky Yen”
We first met #PeteShelley as frontman of #PowerPop-inflected #punk band #Buzzcocks, and his #synthpop solo work following their dissolution, but he was busy making sounds before any of that happened.
Recorded in 1974 on, as the jacket states “purpose-built oscillator,” Sky Yen was released in 1980 when Buzzcocks were perhaps at their commercial peak, it’s hard to imagine this being pressed and released under any other circumstances.
You’ll note I referred to this work as “sounds” rather than music; this work, recorded a year before #LoReed’s arguably more musical (really) #MetalMachineMusic was released, challenges any definition of music, anticipating the #noise and #ambient genres.
I don’t expect anyone to sit through the entire length of the linked piece, but hop around a little to get a sense of the variety of sounds young Pete was no doubt annoying his parents with.
Despedida, novedades toledanas, folk psicodélico o POP con mayusculas. Esto te podrás encontrar en el programa de esta semana.
New #introduction thread (1/3)
Edinburgh-based #music #podcast, mostly #ccmusic. Started back in 2010 and ran weekly for 7 or 8 years. Now it's more sporadic, lots of shows in 2023 but this year a bit of a hiatus. It will return soon!
Generally the music is #indie #alternative #punk #powerpop #postpunk #shoegaze #indiepop #indierock #folk #antifolk
Beware though - it's unscripted rambling from me. Hopefully the music makes up for it.
Also #GenX, the best generation
