Nuggets 215 – Zippers Down

Nuggets 215 - Zippers down

Getting through the back catalogue … The picture is of Brian of course. I haven’t seen the film, and judging by the trailer, I won’t.

Nearly all the songs up. I added some originals of the covers in the mix at the end…

Nuggets 195 – lofi and twangy

I am a man of simple tastes. Twangy guitars is one. Here is a twangy collection that would gladden Duane Eddy’s heart. I am hoping to catch up with some of the bands at SXSW, in particular Beach Fossils, TV Torso, The Twerps and (can’t wait…) The Wedding Present. I almost added some Associates, but that’s a different kind of twang. Instead we get St Christopher, a fellow Scottish band off a Sarah Records compilation.

(reads up on The Associates) Curious, I didn’t know that Robert Smith did backing vocals with MacKenzie on The Affectionate Punch.

Almost all tracks up.
