Don't have a turntable anymore, so I need it on cd.

Does anybody have this album? it features this song (which I only just heard today): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fv1r16kIqE&feature=related But I have their first album, Flame, and I love it. They're a Melbourne, Australia band with Phil Calvert (Psychedelic Furs, The Birthday Party) on drums. Driving, bluesy rock. Like The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion without the cheek. All of their albums are out of print (and some totally unavailable on CD), but I would still love to see what I can dig up from these guys. Any help is appreciated.

Nice work, Kalle!

BGO records released the Brinsley Schwarz twofers, and the remastering job on those is outstanding.

I just had a Shamrock Shake last week. Still tastes good!

It's a great freaking album.

My favorite moment of the movie. I just about squealed at that line, and I think that I may have been the only one in the theater who got it.

Paul: Not as good as I had hoped, but still a lot of fun. I liked the little sci-fi in jokes, but I'm sure that I missed more than I caught. I am sure that it will be vilified by the folks who love their earlier movies. Not because it was a bad movie (it wasn't a bad movie). But lots of folks will say it was awful because it wasn't as good as their earlier ones. Plus, it's about time for the backlash. Here it comes. Yes, I will watch it again when it comes out of DVD.

Just saw this YouTube: Meh. Too blatantly revivalist, yet not as skillfully done as something like The Dukes of Stratosphear, who had the songs to go along with the sound. I'll check out some more of their songs, but if this is the best that they have to offer... nevermind.

agreed.

This just sounds like something that is right up my alley, and right up the alley of a lot of folks here. Anyone know it? Have anything to say about it? Mentioning power pop, Kaleidoscope, and early Brian Eno records in the same review? Any takers?

One of my favorite songs of all-time. While most folks who know this song know it as a Dave Edmunds song, it was actually written by Jim Ford, and I am more familiar with it as a Brinsley Schwarz song. (And theirs is my favorite version.) Still, this is a pretty good version. Loves me some Webb. (The song performance begins around 1:40 or so.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6zv_NXv2yA

I don't know that album. Although I can certainly be persuaded to know it!

When Doves Cry by Cash Cow (That's my old punk band.) Is it cool? You decide.

"Generation X - Gimmie Some Truth" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwmwGiM7XEk Sorry, Lennon fans, but this version is MUCH better than John's original version. (I just wish that I could find the original album version on YouTube, but alas... This is still pretty close.)

Like Aretha Franklin's cover of "Respect" by Otis Redding. Yeah, I didn't realize that she wasn't the original artist either until a few years ago. I'd say her version of that song is even more definitive than Jimi's version of "Watchtower".

The Roches EDIT: Shame on me. I love The Bangles!
