Due to the fact that the band played different lyrics to a same backing track, this is sometimes difficult to figure out the titles...
Monday Featured Artist - The Three O'Clock
One of the brightest lights of new American pop psychedelia, LA's Salvation Army debuted with an album that was liable to inspire young bands all around the world to join in the fun. The trio's melodies have the ethereal quality of a young Syd Barrett; the music is a blend of all the most colorful '60s sounds, showing the influence of such groups as the Byrds, Move, Hollies, Music Machine and others. Following legal action by the real Salvation Army (concerns over musical competition?), the group changed its name to the Three O'Clock. (Three years later, Frontier cleverly repackaged the original album as Befour Three O'Clock .) The five songs on Baroque Hoedown have poppier vocals and equally engaging music.[Fallait que ça sorte] Les Pourvoyeurs de Powerpoptimisme #3 | C'est Entendu
Les contours de la scène powerpop aux Etats Unis à la fin des années 70 étaient plutôt bien définis et le mouvement était somme toute organisé, avec des groupes servant de locomotive aux autres. A la même époque, les choses n'étaient pas si simples en Angleterre. En dehors de quelques groupes stylistiquement incontestables (comme les excellents Records) beaucoup de formations avaient alors un son à la lisière de multiples genres musicaux comme la new wave ou le revival mod... Difficile alors de faire le tri et de déterminer avec certitude ce qui est powerpop et ce qui ne l'est pas . Doit-on considérer The Jam, les Buzzcocks, Squeeze, XTC, Elvis Costello ou Joe Jackson comme de la powerpop ? M'est avis que non (*1) mais j'en conviens, c'est une question d'appréciation...
Well, I figured that since a copy of this 12" recently fetched $910 on eBay, why not share the record so everyone could hear what the hype is all about? Some people are trying to sell bootleg copies of this for hundreds of dollars as well... I have managed to track down two of the original members of the group, including Greg, the songwriter/singer. Here is what he had to say about the group: "We never again pressed anything else under the moniker Short-Wave Mystery but there are more songs that I have on tape, from that era. Most of the tracks on that record were written and recorded by myself when I was attending Santa Barbara City College down in Isla Vista, CA around the 1985-1986 time frame.

Here are The Boyfriends, not the same Boyfriends, but the U.K. Boyfriends who were lucky to release three 7" singles - one more than the U.S. Boyfriends. Pat Collier, the former Vibrators bass player, so went on to form the Boyfriends and released those 3 singles on United Artists, produced by Martin Rushent, of Buzzcocks fame. The U.K. Boyfriends were not very successful but the three singles were enjoyable.

Ok…Time for some Boston props! “Jeffrey I Hear You” is a lost art-punk classic from the criminally underrated Boston band The Girls. Their one and only single, produced by Pere Ubu’s David Thomas and released in 1979 on the Hearthan label, is an art-fuck cannon blast of truly epic proportions. Boston has had no shortage of great bands over the years, but it truly boggles the mind as to why The Girls were somehow ignored by the punk world at large.

Slabs 135 - Brian d'Souza posted by brian “This mix is a combination of my last two Slabs sets, the first at the Bells of our NYE party before David Vunk, and the second closing the Lone night when he had to postpone at the last minute. All vinyl, the mix includes italo party bangers from the likes of Lime, Azoto, The Immortals and Brian Auger; Chicago numbers from Steve Hurley, Fast Eddie, JM Silk; and the odd electro, Detroit and acid track thrown in.music from web
