Sam and I are spinning at Foundation this Saturday night.

my thing right now is upbeat girl pop from the 1980's. Like the Flirts, Strawberry Switchblade, and such.

Voice of the Beehive maybe? Whenever I see this one video by them on VH1 Classic I think for a moment, with their colorful petticoats, that it's Strawberry Switchblade. I've sent them about 1,000 email requests to play SS to no avail...

My one friend's favorite combo is wherever there are three girls and one guy in a band, like Book of Love. Whenever we see a gathering of three men and one woman he whispers "(they're a band!)" even if they are senior citizens.

Yeah, I saw a record by Voice of the Beevhive this weekend, it didn't have a picture so I wasn't sure. I also shop at the most crowded vintage toy-vintage record shop in the world, and there were already people testing albums. I'll have to go back for that one, thanks!!

Book of Love is a good one too! I forgot about them!

I'm getting a record player that can convert songs to MP3 soon, I'll have to make mix cd's for my friends!

VOTB is pretty hit and/or miss. BOL is a true one hit wonder. I don't hold that against anyone, I'm a big fan of no hit wonders myself, but ...

By the way, Revolver put out a sublime cover of "Since Yesterday" way back in the 90s ...

Transvision Vamp is a good ditzy new wave type of band. hehe. Or anything with Wendy James in it.

I'll get back to you as I think of more. ;)

Yay! Another band name that I've seen but never actually heard! Thank so much!

TV is 90s, but tehy do a great cover of Holly and The Italians' "tell that Girl to Shut Up." Much mailigned by teh UK music pres, but i liked 'em fine, even have the video colection. Elvis Costello wrote a perfectly good solo album for Wendy James after the band broke up ( ... )

Okay, I only have one 7", with an amusing sleave, but musically, Fuzzbox couldn't BE more horrible, could they?

Seriously, this is like the most terrible thing ever (and barely even campy enough to make up for it...)
