UK 2000

Mike Skinner and Pete Doherty. Two of my favorites of early 2000s. Together. In 2006.

The Streets - Prangin' Out. AKA Music. Bargain bin.

Post-Career

Of the Galaxie 500 chain of bands, Damon & Naomi would be at the bottom.

But it's a good bottom. Much higher than a lot of other bands.

They are the Other Two and You of Galaxie 500.

1. Galaxie 500

2. Luna

3. Damon & Naomi

Damon & Naomi - Playback Singers. Amazon.com. Used.

For Sale

Every track was sold for advertising.

Today that seems like the only way to get new music out there.

Moby - Play. Amazon.com. Used.

Harder to Find

It's only been within the past year or so I started dabbling in James singles. You don't see them too often. Not like Suede. The Charlatans. Blur. The Bluetones.

James - Ring the Bells. Amazon.com. Used.

Out of Stock

I don't know if this is out of print. But it is definitely out of stock on RevHQ. So I feel okay about posting it.

Tell me if I'm wrong.

Shelter - Perfection of Desire. Princeton Record Exchange. Bargain punk.

Complete Needs

I really want the deluxe editions of the first two albums.

But I can't bring myself to spend that money.

Used please.

Stereophonics - Pick A Part That's New. Amazon.com. Used.

Physically Devoted to You

There aren't a lot of things hotter than the "bad girl" version of Olivia Newton-John in Grease.

That's reason enough to own this.

Olivia Newton-John - Olivia's Greatest Hits Vol. 2. AKA Music. Bargain bin.

Three Plus

Jale. Sloan. Eric's Trip. And someone else.

These bands started my fascination with The Maritimes.

A fascination I've yet to realize with a visit. Close. But so far away.

Never Mind the Molluscs. eBay. Used.

Hitting Girls

As I've gotten older, I've gotten more appreciative of pop punk.

Generally it seems to be something that people outgrow. But all I want to do is dive deeper into the Lookout! catalog.

Screeching Weasel - My Brain Hurts. AKA Music. Bargain bin.

Win/Win

Ace of Base covering Bananarama. You can't go wrong.

Stay tuned for the remix disc.

Ace of Base - Cruel Summer. Amazon.com. Used.

Cliché

It's not Unrest. But it's not bad at all.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Air Miami - Me. Me. Me. AKA Music. Used.

I Understand Why, But I Don't Like It

I had been buying up iTunes US releases of the now defunct duo.

One of the many times I was reminded how much I hate being limited to the iTunes US store.

Lucky Twice - Lucky. iTunes.

The Look

The hits alone are worth it.

I can do without the new release.

Roxette - Look Sharp! Princeton Record Exchange. Bargain bin.

Not Sure

I fluctuate between liking His Name Is Alive and really liking His Name Is Alive.

They are not a typical 4AD band. But they still manage to fit right in.

I'm sure I'll continue to think about them. They are interesting like that.

His Name Is Alive - Livonia. Amazon.com. Used.

Yee-Haw

When I first heard of Revolting Cocks, sometime in the early nineties, I was under the impression it was industrial artists making country music.

I have no idea why I thought that. The only thing I can come up with was the album art for Linger Ficken' Good.

A strange conclusion to arrive at. But I did. And I was wrong.

Revolting Cocks - Linger Ficken' Good. Amazon.com. Used.

Go Buy It

Pet Shop Boys - Liberation. Amazon.com. Used.
