Nuggets 212 – Louder

Nuggets 212 - Louder

Louder than what you may ask. Well, louder than most recent mixes.  th’ faith healers (more here) feature from a bruising Peel session released in 2005 but probably first aired on 24/11/1991. Don’t you love that 90’s sound?

Peel session

Toy are a young band from England (London?) with krautrock sensibilities (and thin legs).

The TV Torso album is great, and you can get it here paying whatever you think they deserve…

Ditto the fab Black Tambourines

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.
