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.

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...)

As I recall, there was a track i enjoyed enugh to mixtape it @ the time from the LP. And then there was tehir cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" ...

Interestingly, though, they were actually prevented from doing a full-on Thunderbirds style video by Gerry Anderson (cf. that sleeve) ...

Re: Let Me Check My Files... yieldsigns April 13 2006, 06:24:26 UTC

Hmm. The 45 is my only experienc with them, but I do like "Bohemian Rhapsody" covers. Is it better or worse than The Braids' version from High School High?

PS. You're cultural knowledge is humbling...

Re: Let Me Check My Files... flavordav April 13 2006, 10:25:55 UTC

If you call Fuzzbox "culture" ... well, of course, I do, in that full-on "cultural studies" sense, but ... but, nah, I'm guessing I just have maybe ten years or so on most of you, and my once useful memory has since been propped up to outright augmented by Google, so ...

But, damn, sorry, don't recall The Braids (not Braid, right?). And I saw HSH. Again, memory, getting old ...

Re: Let Me Check My Files... yieldsigns April 13 2006, 10:52:31 UTC

Sort of cheesy hip hop version...

This Google Image Search Pretty Much Says It All

Re: Let Me Check My Files... flavordav April 13 2006, 10:56:54 UTC

Ah. This I need, then ...

Gotta be better than the one by Cud, at any rate ...

Totally Clueless

Close Lobsters, Lush, Robyn Hitchcock, and, of course, the very wonderful Popguns, on the other hand, are quite good here (The Wedding Present, on the other other hand, have of course done far better covers) ...

yieldsigns April 13 2006, 11:07:53 UTC

LOL. That whole record sounds positively frightening.

flavordav April 13 2006, 11:17:36 UTC

I actually just went to teh trouble to get it on vinyl, so ...

But, yeah, if you aren't a fan of the songs/bands ...

Foot Eater... yieldsigns April 13 2006, 11:34:58 UTC

Lol. Faux pas.

Re: Let Me Check My Files... yieldsigns April 13 2006, 11:01:14 UTC

I find it especially pleasing when played 45rpm, when it brings to mind mid-90s anthems like Moby's Feeling So Real.

Re: Let Me Check My Files... flavordav April 12 2006, 22:15:06 UTC

Reminds em also, Helen Love, Strawberry Story, The Driscolls, Dolly Mixture ...
