Eggman - Not Bad Enough

 

Here's the dude from the Boo Radleys on his own, and it's good. The singer, Sice, not the guitarist. Without looking it up I don't know any more, presumably it's off an LP back in the day, but not one I'm aware of.

Anyway, this is a good tune, and the b-side is also enjoyable, so I recommend giving it a spin.

Dead links

Say, if you want anything re-uploaded please ask. Just seen that people have been looking at old stuff which doesn't have a link any more, so happy to oblige.

The Mission / Throwing Muses / Pixies / Dinosaur Jr - The Sounds Machine EP1

In case a picture disc wasn't crappy sound-quality enough, here's some proper surface noise. No recollection of when I bought this, but it clearly wasn't loved by the previous owner.

The Mission track is epic, about 10 minutes long, all recorded at the now-dead Astoria in London in May 1988. So that's over 35 years ago... Throwing Muses and Pixies same year, but at the Town & Country in London (also now dead, also thanks to the Elizabeth Line), and Dinosaur Jr clearly asked to provide a song which would fit on an already-full 7". The weirdest drum sound on the Dinosaur Jr one I've heard in ages.

Hope you like them!

1. The Misson - Shelter From The Storm '88
2. Throwing Muses - Mania
3. Pixies - Hey
4. Dinosaur Jr - Throw Down

They're all right here.

Tricky - Christiansands 7"

 



Hello everyone, if anyone is still out there. Sorry it's been so long since my last post, just over a year by the looks, but, well... I've been busy.

Anyway, here is something to hopefully make up for it a little. A picture disc, which I normally wouldn't post as they sound so awful, but apparently not too bad on my new turntable - I'll leave it to you to decide.

A-side from Pre-Millennium Tension, my favourite of his LPs by a distance. B-side seems to be a slightly random re-work of bits of Black Steel? Good stuff, anyway, and I hope you like it.
