[2024] Eagles - Voices In The Corridor (BLR)

[2024] Eagles - Voices In The Corridor (BLR)

To me Eagles are another one of those singles bands. The albums are over bloated, with one or two decent tracks. I'd never listen to a complete album as it melds into another one of those boring over produced 70's drones, but what do I know as they've sold over 200 million records. In saying that they have done some crackers and these are the ones I like, and of course they're mostly the hits. Sparked by Peaceful Easy Feeling coming on the radio while listening as I was out and about. Found myself singing along and had to put a collection together for myself. So you get it as well.

[1998] The Dripping Lips - Ready To Crack?

[1998] The Dripping Lips - Ready To Crack?

Another under appreciated and sadly overlooked record from Brian James. As Tanz Der Youth has been popular I thought I'd post it as well.

[1978] Tanz Der Youth - Tanz Der Youth (BLR)

[1978] Tanz Der Youth - Tanz Der Youth (BLR)

I wasn't sure what to post as a Tribute to Brian James, but eventually settled on this under appreciated single. Also contains the Peel Session. I've got a compilation on the go which will be up in the next couple of days. Another sad loss.

[2023] Spike - Late Night Song Book Vol. 2

[2023] Spike - Late Night Song Book Vol. 2

A request. I don't usually post such recent releases but as this is impossible to find and if you do see a copy it's ridiculously expensive. Last copy went for over $100. Sadly I don't have a rip of the DVD to include those exra songs. Just awesome and highly recommended!

Bitrate etc... waffle.

Bitrate etc... waffle.

Thanks everyone for the emails and messages, about that absolute legend. The Bitrate of things I post are admittedly all over the place, even in compilations and collections. I post what I have found, or been generously sent to me by folks. I have even been sent 126 KB from musicians and bands which I'm allowed to post, so that's what you get. I try to post hard to find things and rarities so the quality is as found. If I get better quality on a major thing I would repost. I try to be a repository and archive of music I love, sharing and having like minded folks who appreciate what I do is a bonus. If you find a Blog that posts things like I do please let me know, but I doubt if you will. If you see a "Never to be reposted..." and really want a show etc from the list get in touch. I've sent things personally to folk many times. As to that Wildhearts Singles and Rarities repost... I've almost finished getting a pile of replacements in 320KB, just waiting on a Rarities Compilation from a friend of a friend. Then I'll recompile, do some art and Bob will be your aunts husband. With 624193 views and over a million Downloads I must be do something right. Waffle bollocks over.

And another...

And another... 

From the same legend! 



Lovely...

Lovely...

And here's me in the middle of putting together a new edition series with new and better quality rips. No enquiry to see if I have better quality, just a straight up fuck off. I presume it's the same superstar who made the same comment about the L.A. Guns post. Wish I could be such an awesome legend. Makes everything I do and post all worth it.



[2025] David Johansen - In My Own Time (BLR)

[2025] David Johansen - In My Own Time (BLR)

I was at a loss about what to post as a Tribute to David. I thought I'd pick a couple of shows, do some art and post them. Then I thought there's no proper Compilation of his albums. So that's what you have here.

David Johansen

 David Johansen

The final Doll David Johansen has sadly passed away aged 75. He has been very sick for a long while with Brain Cancer etc and it was expected. Actually got a bit weepy as he's been a large part of my musical life for 40 odd years. I've posted a lot of David Jo bits so it will take me a couple of days to come up with something as a Tribute. R.I.P. to a true original.

[2004] The Wildhearts - Coupled With

[2004] The Wildhearts - Coupled With

My most played Wildhearts compilation. Hard to believe it's 21 years old. A must for any Ginger and The Wildhearts fan. And the new album won't be far away.

[2025] REIRIE - Butterfly Kisses (BLR)

[2025] REIRIE - Butterfly Kisses (BLR)

Updated version of Rabbits Rule Heaven. Independent J-Pop/Kawaii Metal is obviously not for everyone, and I've been pretty clear about my loathing of the Japanese Idol System, but Rei and Rie have been awesome in any of their incarnations. You just have to listen to their Kawaii Metal band Ladybaby after Ladybeard left (which was an Idol gimic that I never got), and their album The Idol Formerly Known As Ladybaby to see that. I love it, so you get it!

[2025] The Stone Roses - Stars Will Shine (BLR)

[2025] The Stone Roses - Stars Will Shine (BLR)

Can't say just how much I love The Stone Roses. This is one of my "If it doesn't exist make it yourself!" compilations. Never got why they included those back masking nonsense tracks on their releases, but remove those couple and they never did a bad song.

[2025] Bang Tango - Soul To Shove... Live!!! (BLR)

[2025] Bang Tango - Soul To Shove... Live!!! (BLR)

For me Bang Tango are an odd band. Undoubtably they are an amazing bunch of musicians, but their Studio albums always seem to be missing something. They seem too over produced and missing a tangible I've never been quite able to put my finger on. Plus the albums are a little more filler than killer. But then you take them out of the studio and put them on the stage and everything seems to change. The songs come alive, even the iffy ones find that spark and it's just an amazing show. If only that tangible could be captured in the studio. Of course that is just my opinion and everyone's is, and should be different. This compilation of two Live Ep's and one Live Album was sparked into being by my very good friend G. I used to have several quality Bootlegs but sadly they're long gone. Play it loud!

[2014] Cage The Gods - Badlands (2025 BLR Expanded Edition)

Had this album requested a couple of months ago. Another band that baffles me why they weren't huge. CD can get a bit pricey these days. My art apart from the cover. Highly recommended!
