Every few days they pop out, a physical record of what I have been listening to. Excellent for playing (loud) in the car, colourful gifts for friends

Nuggets 262 - Chug Chug 7

Chug chug chug.

The pic is Anthony Perkins and Audrey Hepburn from Green Mansions. It’s a terrible film .

This mix gets off to a cracking start with an excellent track from D. Vassalotti, then a recently released but old track from The Love Language before the keyboards of Polica start up.

POLIÇA - "Dark Star" (Official Music Video)

Crystal Stilts have another album out. As you can hear in the interview below, they have taken their time. I love that dreamy jangly sound even though they can be a bit bloodless.

Bingo Trappers is an established Dutch lo-fi band. Manual for a Safe Trip is an excellent track. It’s taken from their 2001 album Juanita. Here it is on Spotify. https://play.spotify.com/album/5Gc39v0xekzfIHrxbQrMuz

And here is their current album.

Caveman

Cool Running

This is one of my favourite tracks of all time…

Girls, wall of sound production; you know the drill.

Norma-Jean Wofford aka The Duchess is on the cover, a groovy guitarist who played with Bo Diddley. The Duchess kept up with Mr Diddley, but on heels, as demonstrated in the clip below.

It’s slightly disconcerting that nearly all these bands are from the USA. Note to self, listen to more local bands.

Sweet Bulbs is a now defunct Brooklyn band that made a delightful smeary sound. Some of the band members play on as Butter The Children – see the Bandcamp widget below.

Potty Mouth is a tuneful grrrrrrl band. They can be intimidating to mild mannered men.

Potty-Mouth

Asobi Seksu have an excellent shoegazey sound. Sad to report but they have decided to stop making music.

There are two songs about record stores, one from through the eyes of a crazed fan, the other seeing the shop as a place to pick up guys / girls. I prefer the crazed fan one – sharp lyrics.

In Sadie, Katie Crutchfield of the late P.S. Eliot lets rip. This may the last chance we have to hear her scream now that she has gone all mainstream. Hopefully her (twin) sister will keep up the yelling.
