VARIOUS ARTISTS
This Is Hot
1985 UK Compilation

Another find from today’s pile.
An EXCELLENT compilation of #newwave #powerpop #postpunk & garage.

As soon as I saw that The Celibate Rifles were on it, I knew it would be pretty stellar.
The opening track, “Beautiful Waste” by The Triffids is a perfect song to get this thing going.
Lighthouse Keepers, Wet Taxis, Mushroom Planet, Coloured Stone… just tons of great obscure gems on here.

Cameronoise – What If We Just Stop Using Their Money?

Instrumental power pop is a rarity, but this 6 track EP proves those tasty riffs, sharp guitar hooks and swinging grooves work just fine without a vocalist on top.

YANKS
Only Lovers Left Alive
1983 U.S. pressing

A bit of an obscure one, but a real gem.

Really well-produced #80s #powerpop . Catchy as fuck, and really short (only 6 songs), but every song is great.

I listen to this a lot when winter starts to wane, & the Spring weather starts up.
“I Don’t See Her Anymore” is a KILLER gem of a song, as is “White Lies”.

These guys could have been Plimsouls level big, but they lacked their own “A Million Miles Away”.

Trying very hard here never to upload to Youtube again. All part of Degoogling one's life! I've had approval from the drummer and the singer of Le Beat Group Electronique to upload bootlegs of their pub gigs starting from the 1980s. So for any oldschoolers who like foot-taping pub rock, do check it out on Makertube...
