Salad Boys - Salad Boys - 2013


Thanks to the boyz over at spacerockmountain for this find... they have a knack for finding lofi indie bands that make me all gooey on the inside, and the Salade Boys are no exception. Outstanding slacker rhythms, with a rich "I could careless" attitude; Wow!

tyler burkhart - april's fool - 2014

Patient Barney Penrose - Brave Ink - 2014


"As a lyricist, Patient Barney Penrose shares a vividness with Matt Berninger of The National, expressing himself with melancholic, literate concision. These are lyrics that read well without a melody. An extension of an obvious literary talent, they embellish his dulcet arrangements."
Julian Belvedere, HY.GEN.IC London

Back Pages - Acoustic - 2014


Dirty trashy garage rock with an acoustic edge!

New Order - Grieving in the Shadows - 1980


New Order - Maxwells, Hoboken New Jersey 20th September 1980

Here's the much sought after transfer from vinyl of a misplaced New Order soundboard tape from their first US tour in 1980. The actual recording itself is slightly muffles in places, likely to distorted levels or poor quality tapes used in the transfer. It is not clear as to the lineage of the recording used to make the record, or in fact it's heritage. The LP also features tracks from the Western Work demos, but we all got those in better quality from the Analog Loyalist a few years back. 
The key moment of interest is the unreleased track Hour (named as such in the Gretton notebooks), but you also get to hear early versions of Procession (with what sounds like Stephen Morris on vocals), Dreams Never End, Cries And Whispers, and Truth. I do like the ghostly drum machine version of In A Lonely Place, though the final track Ceremony only evinces why drummers should avoid trying to be lead singers. Historic stuff!

1. In A Lonely Place
2. Cries And Whispers
3. Hour
4. Procession
5. Truth
6. Cries And Whispers
7. Dreams Never End
8. Ceremony
