I Had a Spare Buck to Spare

 

Still got nothing.

 

 

Central Services (2006)

2006. Getting up there. Time is catching up. Still fifteen years ago, but damn, I'm still a bit weirded out typing up dates on here in the 21st Century.

Anyway. This was about a buck. I got it based on a Youtube to max out postage because if it's any amount of things for a set amount, I'm going to try and bulk the shit out of that if I can to make it worthwhile.

So here we are with Central Services who were apparently at least popular enough or seeming like they might break through enough that NPR did a short blurb about them.

I didn't see it at the time. Not much info to otherwise be had, but it's some nice indiepop to brighten your day. Everybody needs that now and again.

K-Tel Memories

 I got nothing

 

20 Explosive Dynamic Super Smash Hit Explosions (1991)

A compilation on Pravda Records of various 90s artists doing covers of 70s songs.

Come for Smashing Pumpkins prefame stab at the Ozark Mountain Daredevil's "Jackie Blue" but stay for the majesty of Mojo Nixon taking on "I Just Dropped In (to See What Condition my Condition was In)"

Full list on Discogs.

Another Follow Up

 I'm hungry.

Gonna make two quickies and have a snack.

Counter Clockwise (1997)

A while back I put up a few stray singles by Melbourne, Australia's Autohaze.

Here's their third full length. I suppose as I get around to filling in the rest of the discography I'll follow up this post up later on.

But for now. Be content with the Pop and the Rock in equal measures.

Maybe cough up a buck or two on their bandcamp so somebody can get a cup of coffee.

It's the polite thing to do.

It's November Now

 

So a while back I kind of toyed with the idea of doing another couple of blogs. 

That obviously didn't happen. But in the meantime I'd set up one very large folder specifically for the stuff I intended for one.
Not likely to happen at this point. I lack the will, energy and desire.

So with that in mind I'm going to start plundering that folder for more posting fodder.

And since the backlog continues to grow at an alarming rate try and be a bit more discriminating in which things do get tossed up into this salad like a wayward spider among the red leaf lettuce.

Here's some flexis that I did a while back before I got the restoration software in all their low fidelity hissy glory.

Heaven flexi (1991)

Flexi discs. Something we all hate to love and love to hate.

Shitty sound, but cheap to make and all over the fucking place in the early 90s with so much otherwise unavailable things that you were forced to get them.

So here's a couple released by Sunday Records in the long ago days.

This first one has the Fat Tulips and a band called Confetti.

Sunday flexi (1992)

This one has Po!, Balloon Farm (a different one not to be confused with the 60s "Question of Temperature" one), former Sarah Records stalwarts St. Christopher and Applicants.

It's Sunday Records. It's pop.

Sweet Home and the Fifty States

 Alabama.

You can put a check mark next to it now.

 Primitons (1985)

Not a lot of things I can say about Alabama. I tend not to think about it much unless it comes up in an article of some sort which usually isn't painting the state in the best of lights. 

Or it's about college football.

But there's also the Primitons.

I picked this up for a few bucks primarily because it's on Throbbing Lobster which put out a bunch of Boston records I quite like. 

Worth it.

Jangly earnest 80s pop rock for the discriminating listener.

This is their debut release and the rest are naturally on my list.
Enough said and/or implied.
