Minimalism

 We're out of ice cream and I really want some ice cream.

Pictish (1982)

 Rent Boys Inc. Toronto, Canada

The Still Reflex (1981)


Repetition. London, England

Ok, Here's That One Song.

Hard to get around it.

Here's that one song that you may know.

(this also marks a moment when I've got an even hundred posts queued up to almost a year ahead of me. That's a lot of shit..)

Echo Beach (1980)

It's still a great fucking tune.
Martha and the Muffins

Perfect for daydreaming to at the office waiting for your lunch half hour.

Was Ezo (1980)

I should also point out that this was the fifth goddam single they released in 1980 along with two full lengths. A lot of the singles contents would end up on both. Still. that's a lot of activity for one band. That's a Fall/Billy Childish kind of output. Be impressed.

I Mean It.

Blah blah blah..
More of the same.
These guys really deserved better.
This is good stuff.

Saigon (1980)

Flipside is backwards. I included the track reversed as an added bonus.

About Insomnia (1980)

Martha and the Muffins

No. Shut Up

A few quick ones.

Very little typing.
This band was actually quite good at what they did. They however get more or less relegated to a footnote because they had a minor hit which invalidates everything else they ever did or did before. Hate that shit.
If it's good it's good.

Insect Love (1979)

Martha & the Muffins. 

A-side is a remixed version of their first single.

Suburban Dream (1980)

A-side was also on previously mentioned first single. This is their third single.

Both sides of the pond part whatever. I can't be bothered to keep track of this shit.

A post. I am making a post. It looks like this.
It looks like this because this is it.

It is a post.

33 1/3 Rpm ep (1979)

the Government were from Toronto, Canada. You've heard of that place.

Hardware ep (1979)

Hardware were from Cheltenham, UK. You probably haven't heard of  that place until this second. Now you have and you will never not know it from now on.

Another compilation lp.

Because I can and it's my blog and I can cry if I want to.

1979 - The Last Pogo

A live compilation of Toronto bands done as the last hurrah for the closing of the first "punk" club in town. Once again. Hits and misses, A reggae band and a mod band that apes the Jam. Your mileage will vary, but I quite like the Cardboard Brains.
