Karen Young – Deetour
Friday, August 16th, 2013
Who is Karen Young? No idea. I discovered this from a mix a while back and couldn’t get it out of my head for ages after. The vocal effects in the chorus are cool.

The Teardrop Explodes – When I Dream
Friday, August 9th, 2013
You know when you listen to an album and you know half the tunes on there but never knew who they were by and what they were called? No? Maybe it’s just me then.
This just happened to me with The Teardrop Explodes’ awesome Kilimanjaro LP. I have no idea when I heard all of these songs as I don’t ever recall listening to these guys before (although they have been on my “list of bands who sound interesting and I should probably check out” for a while). Top 80s “psychedelic” post punk/new wave/indie/whatever from Julian Cope et al. Listen.

Todd Terje – Strandbar (Disko Version)
Thursday, August 1st, 2013
After his huge summer 2012 anthem Inspector Norse Todd Terje proves that he has more hooks than B&Q with another insanely catchy piece of house music. I’m a huge sucker for a catchy piano line and this one is destroying me right now.

The Vaccines – Melody Calling
Tuesday, July 30th, 2013
The Vaccines are a band that I’ve seen the name of loads and have heard a couple of tunes from but never paid all that much attention to. I guess there are just too many indie bands out there to give them all a shot, which is a shame because what I’ve heard has been pretty good. They have a new EP out in August that this is the title track of and it’s really rather nice.

Dennis Parker – Like An Eagle
Friday, July 19th, 2013
Porn star turned disco smasher with dance moves that make him look like he’s a puppet out of the Thunderbirds, Dennis Parker (RIP) rocks the place with the most awesome moustache and silver suit combo I’ve certainly ever seen. What a tune, though. A cheesy chorus that will be stuck in your head for days and barely enough lyrics to fill the back of a postcard but I always have to listen to this several times over whenever I play it.
Sadly not available to buy electronically anywhere online but it can be found here and there to download
