Nuggets 223 – Driving Electro by Paul on Grooveshark

My mum had a dark green Triumph Herald. 1100 cc of raw power. It drove like a go cart, great fun.

All good tracks but I particularly like the Steve Hauschildt track from his 2011 album, Tragedy & Geometry. Uplifting and mysterious. He’s on Kranky

Nuggets 99 – Girls 3 (redux)

This mix lacked a bit of oomph, so I stripped out the yé-yé pop and some of the softer numbers, et voilà.

We don’t seem to have many all girl / woman rock bands in NZ, I mean 4 on the floor hard rock, as opposed to soft rock like When the Cats Away. Instead we blighted the world with the Popstars and, gulp, Truebliss (although a Kiwi was responsible for an all girl band that recorded as the New Runaways and I haven’t forgotten Look Blue Go Purple but they were more Cure than Ramones)

Anyways, I wonder why this is so in a country that promotes women so strongly. Perhaps its the lack of role models and hence why most of the rocky all girl bands are from the USA, home of The Runaways and Josie & The Pussycats (or better here)

Here is another girl / girl group focused mix.
