[2021] Mazzy Star - Blue Lights On A Ghost Highway

[2021] Mazzy Star - Blue Lights On A Ghost Highway (Rarities 1990 - 2018)

Hope Sandoval's voice is simply astonishing, and the label of Dream Pop for Mazzy Star is actually an accurate one for a change. I did a big spiel on my Facebook page about how I first heard them, but here I'll just say Mazzy Star are just simply awesome, and this Compilation was a pleasure to put together!

 [2021] Silver Ginger 5 - Sonic Sugar

[2010] Jessica Harp - A Woman Needs

 [2010] Jessica Harp - A Woman Needs

Well I posted The Wreckers and Michelle Branch, so I thought it was fitting that I posted some Jessica Harp as well.

[2021] Manic Street Preachers - Exiled Democracy

[2021] Manic Street Preachers - Exiled Democracy

Live at the Music Hall ~ Frankfurt, Germany (5 Apr. 1992)

[2021] Manic Street Preachers - Exiled Democracy

[2011] Michelle Branch - West Coast Time

[2011] Michelle Branch - West Coast Time 

Love Michelle Branch. Posted The Wreckers a little earlier so I thought I'd post her Unreleased album as well. I still think she would have been a massive star if she hadn't been shafted by her Record Company. She's just such a talented songwriter, and it really is a shame.

[2011] Michelle Branch - West Coast Time (Unreleased Album)

[1999] The Bobbyteens - Fast Livin & Rock N Roll

 [1999] The Bobbyteens - Fast Livin & Rock N Roll

If you love a little Garage Trash then you'll love this. Imagine Nikki Corvette meets the Glam Skanks meets The American Foxes meets the Ramones... 

[1999] The Bobbyteens - Fast Livin & Rock N Roll

Trigger Cut

Ralph the guitarist and singer of  Trigger Cut got in touch and suggested I might like his band, and I'm glad to feature them. Their song Fireworks off the new album Rogo is awesome. I really like them and I'm happy to recommend them to you all, so check them out on Bandcamp and Youtube, it's a lovely noise!

[1983] Avengers - Avengers

Can't recommend this early piece of U.S. Punk enough!

[1983] Avengers - Avengers

[1991] Blue Blood - Universal Language (Japanese Edition)

[1991] Blue Blood - Universal Language (Japanese Edition)

Another overlooked and seemingly forgotten English rock band. Got into them through the bonus Japanese track on this album Fool, which is simply lovely!

[1991] Blue Blood - Universal Language (Japanese Edition)

[2013] Disciples Of Sin - Flesh & Blood (EP)

 [2013] Disciples Of Sin - Flesh & Blood (EP)

First of the feature bands... imagine the Murderdolls crossed with Motörhead and you get the Disciples Of Sin. Heavy driving dirty Horror Punk and a lovely noise it is! Check them out on Facebook for UK Tourdates etc...

Eilen Jewell - Iron Horse Music Hall 2016

[2016] Eilen Jewell - Iron Horse Music Hall ~ Northampton, MA (12 May 2016)

I've been meaning to post some Eilen Jewell for a very long time as she is one of my favourite singers. Not really a household name, but she should be. This collects both sets. If you like Americana then you should love this as much as I do. She was just about to Tour down here in New Zealand when Covid hit, and of course everything got cancelled. Hopefully when this whole pandemic nightmare is over she'll actually make it.

[2016] Eilen Jewell - Iron Horse Music Hall ~ Northampton, MA (12 May 2016)

[2006] The Wreckers - Stand Still, Look Pretty

[2006] The Wreckers - Stand Still, Look Pretty (Walmart.com Digital Bundle +) One of my favourite records. I love Michelle Branch. Sadly another artist that was screwed over by their record company. This is the Walmart Digital edition with the Jessica and Michelle interviews explaining all the songs. I've also added a couple of extra bonus tracks.

[2006] The Wreckers - Stand Still, Look Pretty (Walmart.com Digital Bundle +)

[1986] Pussy Galore - Exile On Main Street (Cassette)

[1986] Pussy Galore - Exile On Main Street 

I've been listening to The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion today so I thought I'd post something related. So here's a copy of the "Infamous" Pussy Galore - Exile On Main Street tape. Take a band that can't play, have them record a classic Stones album and you get a complete shambles of No Wave noise.

[1986] Pussy Galore - Exile On Main Street (Cassette)

[2013] The Dogs D'amour - From Here Is An Eternity (DVD Audio Rip Remastered 2021)

[2013] The Dogs D'Amour - Slade Rooms ~ Wolverhampton, UK (3 March 2013)

Been awhile since I posted a little Dogs, so I thought I'd post an audio rip of the From Here Is An Eternity DVD. Personally I think it should have been officially released back then. R.I.P. Mr. Paul Hornby.

[2013] The Dogs D'amour - From Here Is An Eternity

[1999] Tommy Henriksen - Tommy Henriksen

[1999] Tommy Henriksen - Tommy Henriksen 

Another Request for another sadly overlooked album. Of course you all know Tommy from being in Alice Coopers band, but he seems to have worked with everyone over the years, including playing bass in Warlock during the Triumph And Agony era. Features another one of my faves Nina Hagen on the track Beyond Life.

[2021] Barb Wire Dolls - Time To Riot!!!

 [2021] Barb Wire Dolls - Time To Riot!!!

All the way from Crete comes punk rock at it's purest. Sadly they seem to have disappeared somewhere into the depths of America. Compilation of Bonus Tracks & B-Sides, plus Live At Wacken 2016 Remastered.

[2021] Barb Wire Dolls - Time To Riot!!!

[2021] Daughter - When The Woods Become Landfill

[2021] Daughter - When The Woods Become Landfill

I was recently introduced to Elena Tonra and Daughter. Since then her albums have been on constant rotaion, and I can't recommend them enough. This is one of my usual compilations including EP's, B-Sides, Bonus, Session and Demo tracks.

[2021] Daughter - When The Woods Become Landfill

[1990] Vietnam Chain - Susmoala Beat

 [1990] Vietnam Chain - Susmoala Beat (Vinyl Rip)

Just heard that Mark Enbatta has sadly passed away. His band The Vietnam Veterans were woefully overlooked outside his native France. This is the album he made with Germany's Daisy Chain, and is an old favourite of mine. This is a rip of a very well played crackly piece of vinyl.

[1990] Vietnam Chain - Susmoala Beat (Vinyl Rip)

[1982] Bernie Tormé - Turn Out The Lights

[1982] Bernie Tormé - Turn Out The Lights (1996 Reissue)

Simply a cracker of an album. This 1996 Reissue contains a couple of Bonus Tracks. 

[1982] Bernie Tormé - Turn Out The Lights (1996 Reissue)

Vain - No Secrets cover girl...

For the cover of the Vain Comp I put together I wanted someone ridiculously vain. So I came up with someone from the vainest, most self serving, famous for being famous, no redeeming qualities, blight on society etc etc, but who have more influence on people than should be legal family in the world... the Kardashian/Jenners. so the cover is... Kylie Jenner/Kardashian.

[1989] The Sidewinders - Witchdoctor

[1989] The Sidewinders - Witchdoctor

Another sadly underrated album, from another sadly underrated band...

[1989] The Sidewinders - Witchdoctor

[1991] Cheap And Nasty - Beautiful Disaster (Japanese Release)

[1991] Cheap And Nasty - Beautiful Disaster (Japanese Release)

With Timo's sad passing I thought it was apt to post this classic album as well.

[1991] Cheap And Nasty - Beautiful Disaster (Japanese Release)

[2021] Cheap And Nasty - Internal Action

 [2021] Cheap And Nasty - Internal Action (B-Sides, Demos & Live - Updated)

I posted a version of this a year or two back. It hasn't been downloaded in awhile, but with the sad passing of Timo Kaltio I thought I'd update it with a few more tracks and repost it.

Don't forget to keep those requests coming. I do get to them eventually, because I have a huge "To Post" pile... but if you really want something posted fast, just ask nicely.😏
