New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Mick Trouble 7"EP
« on: September 11, 2017, 09:50:28 AM »
Shit's hella good.
BUY: http://jenandstew.com/item/MICK-TROUBLE/325
HEAR: https://emotional-response-recs.bandcamp.com/album/its-the-mick-trouble-ep
Lost legends of pop music seem a dime a dozen these days, with internet ghouls stalking history’s graveyard exhuming the forgotten, under-heard, or never heard opus of some suburban recluse every minute, but few of them can match the bizarre story of the rise and snail-paced stumbled of one Michael Tooney-Head, born Muswell, London August 1963— otherwise known as lost post-punk troubadour Mick Trouble.
It’s easy to forget that for a brief time in 1981, Mick Trouble was on the verge of becoming The Band That Saves Britain. But Trouble was just that- poised to make the leap from the esteemed bard in hallowed hip circles including the likes of post-punk trailblazers Swell Maps and Television Personalities to that of a superstar that would give Declan McManus a run for his money. But a week before Trouble and his band were to make their seventh appearance on John Peel in just two years, something happened.
Trouble disappeared. And so, seemingly, did his music- until now. Emotional Response is proud to present the long-coveted 1980 Trouble EP- “It’s The Mick Trouble E.P.”, cut directly from a master reel discovered earlier this year under a cookie jar in his basement, along with a never-before-heard jam, year unknown, featuring The Glitter Band, Lemmy Kilmister, and Damo Suzuki. (Stay tuned.)
The result is what will be for many the first time they’ve heard Trouble’s music- spiky, sarcastic, often louche two-minute bursts of pure pop which recall both Dan Tracey and Nick Lowe at their sodden best.

Non-Music Shit / Re: MRR's Allan McNaught and mental health [Rabbit hole: punk cult?]
« on: August 18, 2017, 05:43:02 AM »
Your deep concern will surely please Allan endlessly. I know Allan and see him frequently...He's a great guy and doing just fine. He's currently fronting Neutrals [https://neutrals.bandcamp.com/releases] and manages to still get pretty wild on stage even with the flowing monk robe and crown of thorns.

David Nance - Negative Boogie LP
Prompted girlfriend to skip in from the other room, inquire about the glory pumping out the stereo, and park it sidecar-style & listen intently. Quite cool, looking forward to Oakland show w/ Colossal Yes + Rays, which makes total sense.

« on: August 10, 2017, 06:54:08 AM »pity that creatively speaking they were a spent force ever after."And More" sounds/looks like X's reaction to something like Guns'n'Roses and that ilk. Pity. Unfuckwithable run up that point though, for sure. Heard that Stage Door live '78 release? Better than Civic '79 (SO GOOD)?
This exists now: https://www.discogs.com/X-X-Citations-Best-Of-X-And-Rarities-Vol-1/master/1219422
I'm told the mastering is a beauty. Copy en route.

X - "At Home With You" LP
I bust this one out a couple of times a year and just scratch my head wondering why it doesn't get more run. It's fucking GREAT...a more than worthy follow-up to "Aspirations", although that debut's perfection probably saddles this follow-up with unconquerable expectations. I'd say they're more than met, albeit from a different angle. The songs are all great, "1/2 Way Round The World" and "Degenerate Boy" being obvious standouts (Lucas' vox on "Degenerate Boy" are absolutely fucked). Tough all-balls Aussie (post?) punk, X style. Plus there's a version of the LP that was actually released in a special edition, housed in a TV dinner tin. Anyway, criminally underrated. I imagine Morphius is sitting on hundreds of unsold copies of their early 2000s reissue, since even then, it's appearance was met with minimal enthusiasm. Should be referenced a shit-ton more than it is.
EDIT: Morphius DOES have 'em...fer fuckin' $8.75 even --- http://www.morphius.com/index.cfm?cc=itemdetail&id=5024

Quine Tapes, any time I'm in the car as of late. That "Sister Ray"/"Foggy Notion" hybrid is pretty sweet, but it's the two slow + stretched takes on "I'm Waiting For The Man" that bowl me over. Not sure if I need that vinyl box, but also not sure if I don't need that vinyl box.
Lars Finberg solo LP, coming soon. A corker.

This might be a complete oversimplification of things, but many people are probably stoked on these bands cuz they have showy singing.

« on: July 26, 2017, 05:42:15 AM »I think these were in that 7500+ collection of 7"es Mike Sniper bought -First spot I saw that had 'em was Mind Cure, then Academy and now CTs. Making the rounds, it appears.
whats the concensus on flamin groovies, is early 70s better or the mid 70sI like it all.
