[2026] REIRIE - Under A Cherry Heaven (BLR)
[2026] REIRIE - Under A Cherry Heaven (BLR)
As you all know I love everything Japan, although I have an aversion to the whole Idol School J-Pop thing. It's just too twee, formulaic and plastic. I get it, and understand it's popularity but it's just churned out like fast food. Rei and Rie are different because they broke the mould in LADYBABY with one of the first Death Pop bands. Sure it was manufactured, but it was noise instead of the usual saccharine cutesy pop. They then morphed into more adult pop in The Idol FormerlyKnown As Ladybaby before splitting. Rei went onto a Punk band with her sister called Brats and Rie went into a more Alt Pop sound with trolleattroll and ilie. They reformed a few years ago under the name REIRIE and have been doing live shows and releasing music regularly since then. This collects all their releases. I love it, and if you do go and buy their records, but fair warning they are not cheap.

[2026] New Yok Dolls - An Alternative History (BLR)
[2026] New Yok Dolls - An Alternative History (BLR)
The idea for this collection went through a couple of incarnations. At first I wanted to just repeat each album in the best quality of Live Tracks I have, that just ended up as a disjointed mess. Then I thought I'd do each album as the official release with the whole album repeated as Demos and Live Tracks. Reasonably okay idea but nothing I'd play more than once. Then came the idea of repeating the Rock 'N Roll compilation as Demos and Live, and then it finally morphed into this. So you have the albums by release in Demos etc, the bonus tracks on Rock 'N Roll and the Non-Album Live Tracks from Red Patent Leather. I think it's come out pretty well.

[2025] Nazareth - Ruby Tuesday (Mini-Album)(BLR)
[2025] Nazareth - Ruby Tuesday (Mini-Album)(BLR)
This started off as wanting to put Nazareth's awesome cover of the Stones track Ruby Tuesday on a Playlist. As I'm putting together a pile of Japanese styled Mini-Albums I thought I might as well do one for Ruby Tuesday. Other Mini-Albums will include bands like AC/DC, Steve Earle, Devo, Rod Stewart and the Ramones etc. I'm going to make a whole month of them. Although this is only 5 Tracks those will all be 6 Track collections.

[1999] City Girls' Boys - City Girls' Boys
Lovely wee bit of Glam Punk from Lesli Sanders. Of course you will all know him from Queeny Blast Pop, Talks Cheap and Prophets Of Addiction. Just do a quick search and you'll find a few things on here already. Well recommended!

[2003] Eastside Suicides - Demos (CDr)
[2003] Eastside Suicides - Demos (CDr)
Been meaning to post this for over a year. I posted the album back in October 2024 so it's been awhile. Anyhoo, if you liked that and you like a nice bit of loud Punk 'N' Roll noise then you'll dig this rarity. Many thanks to Sir Rick!
