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.

Nuggets 183 – LoFi + Scuzzy

The Bugaloos was Sid & Marty Krofft’s pyschadelic take on the Beatles, think The Monkeys with wings. They were hippie singing insects that could fly, sometimes on surfboards. I had the hots for Joy, the girl lead. Very strange programme. Phil Collins tried out for the (male) lead.
