Jumping the Gun a Bit.

 Here we go.

Let's get the queue topped off for another couple of weeks....



Sweet Soul Sister (1992)


The Sweetest Ache

Their first few releases were on Sarah Records. These ones are on Sunday Records.

So with that, you ought to know what you're getting yourself into.

I also have two of the Sarah ones. Fuck knows when I'll get around to getting those in the digital shitheap. So until then, make do with these pop nuggets.

 

 


Dreaming (1992)

This is from some kind of fuck up pressing. It's a single sided two song thing. The other song being "A New Beginning" that's on the above and this song.

I Don't Know What to do with Splits pt 4



It's still that same night about a year ago.

I can smell that chicken and it's making me very hungry.



Rose Melberg/Magpies (1994)


A flexi on "I Wish I Was A Slumberland Record"

Rose Melberg's musical resume speaks volumes.
Here she tackles the Sam Cooke classic.

Meanwhile the mysterious Magpies take a stab at a Temptations song.




Superlove vs. Teen Anthems (1997)



A couple of soccer/football songs for you from Superlove and Teen Anthems that I'm too distracted and hungry to hunt down links for.
So there's that.

You Leave Me...


I have an appointment for my annual physical in the morning. Therefore I am having to fast for the remainder of the night, which normally wouldn't be a problem since I tend not to eat a whole lot during these hours and even less if I'm keeping myself occupied with projects like this crap. But it's the knowing I can't eat that's getting to me. So now I'm extra hungry and more cranky than usual.




Belmondo (1995)

Jean-Paul Belmondo is a French actor who was in enough of those 60s French New Wave Cinema films that even you may have heard of him. I certainly saw as many as I could at second and third run art cinemas back in the 80's whenever I could. I loves me some Goddard and Truffaut.

Belmondo himself rose to fame with his starring turn in Breathless (1960) with Jean Seberg and her pixie cut. He is the epitome of cool with an unfiltered gauloises cigarette hanging from his lip. (and we're just going to pretend that the Richard Gere version didn't happen. It was pretty fucking terrible and Valérie Kaprisky was no Jean Seberg)

This Belmondo is a collaboration of Pam Berry and R. Scott Kelly who were each in a multitude of  other projects that have appeared here and others that will eventually appear and some that I will have to seek out now that I'm aware of them. They're like a one stop shop for all kinds of your 90s indie pop needs. And since I'm currently on a bit of a 90s indie pop kick fits right in with my mood.

More or less, I really want a whiskey...



Helen Love vs. Belmondo (1995)

They also shared a flexi disc with Helen Love who according to Discogs are:

"Cult punk-pop band from Swansea. Formed in 1992 in Cardiff, United Kingdom. For the individual artist in credits please use Helen Love (3)"

Indeed.
