Bargain bin this week
The dBs, Like This- Pretty boring, but not terrible I guess. I don't want to call it overproduced since I can dig that sound sometimes when the songs are there,but they're not here really. I dunno. I like "Stands for Decibels".
The Raspberries, Starting Over- My first long play exposure to the Raspberries and I'm into it. Not as wimpy as I remember. If all their albums are this good I may have to check them out.
Pete Shelley, Homosapien- This album fuckin ruled! Had zero expectation going in, never knew anything about his solo stuff. At a loss for comparisons, the synth sounds like Yellow Magic Orchestra and Pete Shelley sounds like Pete Shelley. Not a bad song here, title track and 'Witness the Change' being the best imho.
Phil Seymour,2- Should have known this would be good. Still like the first better but the dude knows how to write a pop song. Couple tracks try to ROCK too hard and end up stinking, but overall a solid record.
Fleshtones, Roman Gods- My first exposure to this band, despite seeing them on a billion comps. Starts off with a stomper but on my second listen nothing is really sticking. I guess if this was the 80s and I was hungry for this sound it might do the trick, but there's so many bands that did this better that I could be listening to.
Music Explosion, Little Bit O' Soul, The Very Best of- Perfect
Tommy Roe, Dizzy LP- Buries the hit at the end of side B, but there's plenty of good stuff to get you through. "Cinnamon" slays.
