I saw JH and her band when she toured the album Only Everything. Arguably, when she at the height of her powers. Good TV performance of Universal Heart-Beat, this.

From the debut album The Troubles And Trevails Of Orphan Mae.

A while back, I posted a song from The Spinanes’ debut, 1993 album.

Kid In Candy is the lead track from their third and final album from 1998. I like it.

Discussing the song's subject matter in 1996, Eels frontman E said, "Part of my problem is with intimacy. 'Novocaine for the Soul' sounds detached because it's about detachment. That's what I think is so great about that song, and on that level I think it's almost genius. It's detachment personified. I'm singing about numbness and I'm numb. It's about having too much feeling."

New album dropped today!

This is the original version of the song covered by The Breeders on Last Splash, a few years later. Carrie from Ed's later toured with The Breeders for some time.

Cease to resist, given my goodbyes

Would love to see more from this duet

Someone said we need more Pixies, but I also think we need more Tanya D!

Combination of the two, eh

This short-lived Flying Nun Records band was led by "the punk rock self-belief" of Shayne Carter, who went on to play and release music as part of Doublehappys, Straitjacket Fits, Dimmer, The Adults (a Kiwi supergroup), with NZ post-punk luminary, Peter Jefferies and solo as Shayne P. Carter.

I like the youthful energy of the song, even though it sounds like it was recorded in a burlap sack!

This is the full run down about the EP that this track is from. It was re-issued for Record Store Day, a few years ago.

A breezy slice of indie rock/pop from Singapore's Sobs. I don't know much more about them, but note that they also got over to Seattle, last year, to do this session.

This is one of my favourite songs, yet I don't own any of their music, apart from the 7" single of Obscurity Knocks. I have def listened to the rest of the album Cake that this song is from and their other releases, via streaming, since then. The funnest fact I know about them is that The Trash Can Sinatras' Frank Reader, is the brother of Eddi Reader from Fairground Attraction. She married one of her brother's bandmates n 2013.

I had completely forgotten about the No Alternative compilation, until I listened to a podcast about it the other day. I remember playing the CD a fair bit, but I don't seem to have it now. I might have borrowed it from someone and given it back.

Posting this track because I was (and still am) a big fan of Kiwi bands of the era, and I was pretty stoked that The Verlaines and Straitjacket Fits, two of my favourites, were included. As far as I know, Heavy 33 didn't get a release anywhere else and only popped up later on their "Greatest" compliation.

From their debut album, 34 years ago already. Time moves fast.

Was lucky enough to see them play for the third time (I think), last week.

Friends. There is not enough Pixies in this Community or in your life. Go and listen to the whole of Doolittle, right now. That's an order.

When a great/interesting song crosses my path or pops back into my head and I feel like posting it, I always do a quick check to see if it has been posted before. In my head, I was sure that this had appeared previously…but it turns out it was this post by @perishthethought@lemm.ee.

This track could claim to be the official song of the Community, maybe.

If you like shoegaze and don't know this Singaporean band, you will probably like this. If you don't like 'gaze, then I can't help you. 😇

This song is a live version of the track that appeared on their 2022 album, remember a stranger.
