  1. Hot damn, that's awesome, thanks for that! Love that roadhouse rock-n-roll. Reminds me of a guy that came out in the early 90's, Webb Wilder. One of those journeyman rockers who got a little airplay then disappeared. This is the only song of his I ever remember hearing on the radio, but I still dig it, just rocks. Kind of Georgia Satellites meets Dave Edmunds.

    It took me forever to get around to really enjoying the "noodling stuff", but now I'm fascinated with it. I was going to post this a while back, this is the first ever recording of "Interstellar Overdrive", recorded on 10/31/66. It was never released (until 2017 as a Record Store Day exclusive) but was given to a friend of theirs, a film maker named Anthony Stern by their manager, to do with it as he pleased. Stern had said he wanted to make a film equivalent to the Floyd's live shows, or how he personally experienced their music back in the early days. First up is the studio track, this is straight up punk, recorded just a few months after Revolver came out and before Sgt. Pepper, the very dawn of psychadelic rock, they really had no influences for this kind of stuff, definitely ground-breaking: And this is the film Anthony Stern made using the audio as a soundtrack, despite people saying the track had never been heard before, it's been on youtube for years, people just never put 2 and 2 together... don't watch this if you're prone to seizures!
  3. Yeah! Recently transferred my complete cassette collection over to digital, this one I had to burn to CD to keep in the car, great album.
  4. I never had this one except on a cassette I taped off of KPFT in Houston late one night. Took me forever to find it, eventually tracked down a CD re-issue of their first two albums, classic early 80's Los Angeles quirky pop.
  5. He is, but still never got much play in the US, a little on college/community stations, but never enough. This could also be a college/indie rock thread, Sparks is fairly well known but still never got more than underground love... Had this album many years ago, got ruined in a flood...
  6. That's good stuff, very Georgia Satellite-ish. I like the Charlie Brown reference...
  7. It's all good, a welcome addition.
  8. Finally, Martha and the Muffins. A Canadian band, they later shortened their name to "M+M" and had a hit with "Black Stations/White Stations". This one is not so great, just your standard pop song, but I did dig the green vinyl and the nod to the Who at the end:
  9. Next up, Wreckless Eric. I played the hell out of this one, just great Brit Pop in the Nick Lowe vein (Lowe may have produced this, can't remember). 12-inch single on orange vinyl, just a wall of chiming guitars and thick harmonies: (the 12-inch is pictured on the video, different labels and color scheme on each side)
  10. MaxHorn, hulla and others were great on the other board about highlighting those bands on the fringes, stuff you picked up for one reason or another, maybe you loved the band but they just never made it. Thought this could be a catch-all for your favorite memories. For me, I lived out in the country between Sealy and Columbus, not a record store in miles. In the back of Rolling Stone, you could order these mail-order catalogs featuring all kinds of import/independent records you couldn't find anywhere else. I would order stuff just based on the descriptions, they were usually pretty cheap and worth the gamble. I remember in the summer just waiting for the mailman to show up, we lived on a dirt road (the only house) and you could see the mailman coming half a mile away from the dust cloud. Hoping today was going to be the day my records showed up. Then running to the mailbox to pick them up (I remember, if it was an LP too big to fit inside, the mailman would attach it to the outside of the mailbox with a rubberband...). Just a great time. Anyway, first up, this band was pretty big in Australia but never did anything here in the States. This was a cool 4-song EP on Stiff Records, great pop band (I still have all of these BTW, some of my most treasured records just base on the memories..) The Sports: (EP cover)
  11. I'm sure you know Split Enz evolved into Crowded House, correct? I remember seeing an ad for this in Rolling Stone, the laser etching, pretty cool. Regarding Crowded House, yeah, huge fan, still have my Temple of Low Men and Woodface CDs. Doesn't get much better than this: And this is one of the best pop songs I've ever heard: That was a great period for music, Crowded House, Michael Penn, Aimee Mann just to name a few, back when KGSR actually played great music.
  12. Don't remember, was there actually music on this album?... Played on this: and listened to on these:
  13. Right, why the hell are we getting the in-studio feed? I did notice that the bottom chyron with the score and time disappeared for a couple of minutes, technical problems I guess. Regardless, the panel audio is a mess, everybody talking over each other...
  14. Not a big fan of Rice-a-Roni, but I've eaten worse...
  15. Is that dude the brother of the wat lady?
  16. The hell you say...
  17. plus mix in a bowl, eat until the skin on the roof of your mouth is gone

    Just saw this. Incredible. he was a pretty good actor as well, I have about 20 minutes of outtakes from "Smile" of clips like this, him and the Beach Boys screwing around, there were going to be radio promos for an album that never was...

    Dammit. RIP
  20. It's actually a parody of a doc DA Pennebaker made about the cast recording the soundtrack album. (Just know this because my daughter directed the musical while she was at Rice and sent me all this stuff...) Pretty spot on.
