POPINJAYS: Monster Mouth (7″, One Little Indian 61…
This record currently nestles on my shelf betwixt singles by The Popguns and The Poppyheads. It was because of The Popguns that I picked this up at the time; I liked their bouncy indie-pop and…
SONNEVILLE: 46 Tours EP (7″, Alienor ALIEN µ,…
Lumme, this is the second of a sparse few releases that Alienor put out that's come up for discussion as the result of my wacky scientific random number generator tool. So be it, I can't…
THE GRAVY TRAIN: St George’s Way (7″, A…
Now, this isn't a record from the hip edgy band The Gravy Train!!! [exclamation marks theirs, not mine] who have released stuff quite recently on Kill Rock Stars. No, this is the early-to-mid-nineties Newcastle-based (I…
HEY COLOSSUS/LORDS: The Money Will Roll Right In/Back…
I can't quite remember why or how, but I was aware of this record being on the cards for some time before it came out, and so was corresponding with a fellow called Manj about…
BEAT HAPPENING: Nancy Sin (7″, K IPU 15,…

JASON AND THE ASTRONAUTS: Burn Down The Boys…
I bought this 7" a few years back. I'm not entirely sure when. The label unfortunately didn't feel fit to include a 'released on...' date anywhere within the package. Shocker! Don't they know that some…
DEBBIE GIBSON: Only In My Dreams (7″, Atlantic…
It's not all super-hip underground noisemakers and whacked-out psychedelic mayhem with me, you know. I am a big fan of proper, no-messing pop music. And regardless of whatever any number of 'top XX'/'the best XX…
GANGER: Geocities (7″, Wurlitzer Jukebox WJ16, 1997)
Never sure whether the title of this single refers to Geocities as in the legendary free webspace provider that was responsible for around a billion home-built websites, almost all featuring those early graphical hits of…
CUD: Hey!Wire (7″, Imaginary MIRAGE 018, ?)
Yet another Cud record - the third one I've written about on here. This was never meant to be a Cudblog, but you can't argue with the orders of a random number generator. Ever wondered…
