2020 Albums

The new Cornershop album is brilliant!  I’m digging it’s glam rock stompers, 60s psychedelic keyboards and flute jams. 

Think my favorite track is Everywhere That Wog Army Roam due to its Jimmy Cliff\Harder they come vibe.

And don’t expect a US tour as they aren’t even touring the UK anymore…

Fully agree. Cornershop is very high on my “bands I never got to see list.” People who only know Brimful of Asha are missing out.

I heard from more than one source that Tejinder was a complete jerk when they toured around 2000


Nevertheless I was excited about finally seeing them



But they cancelled…I don’t know if it was trouble getting a Visa or low sales…

I snagged this poster from the club

Looks like one of those upside down misprints.

Hey flip your monitor dude! You are lucky I was even able to take and post pic

I still listen to When I Was Born for the 7th Time on a regular basis
the song that always gets me is 'its good to be back on the road back home again'
I remember catching them back in the 90s at the club and loving the show, but at the time wasn't a huge fan
in the last decade, I keep going back
I really wish they'd tour

The Clinton album should have been released as a Cornershop record and the Handcream record could have come out a bit earlier…there was just a huge loss of momentum after the I was born for the album….like a virtual textbook case on how to kill a career…

I love Handcream the most of their records but feel like hardly anyone gave it a chance because of the huge amount of time from Brimful of Asha era


A couple of years ago I found a cd of the Clinton record for $1…signed by Tjinder!!

New Cornershop aside there are a bunch of new releases of interest today.. seems Feb was a bit slow in terms of new stuff I’m was interested in..

Anyways..

Listening to the new James Hunter Six Nick Of Time out on Daptone records.  He does retro soul so well!

Also of interest new Body Count and Paul Heaton\Jacqui Abbott

Woman's Gotta Have It is such an underrated gem.

I also love Handcream.  They were great at the club on the Handcream tour, starting and closing the show with Heavy Soup.  I also saw them at the University of London Union in March 1998 with Les Rythmes Digitales opening up.  I was surprised at the time it did not sell out right away.  Although, they played two nights in a row there.  Oh to be that young again. 

First listen of the new Malkmus album Traditional Techniques.

i guess i know what i'll be listening to this weekend:

Surprise, NINE INCH NAILS Release Two New FREE Albums, Ghosts V & VI

The new Chats album is out.  14 songs in 29 minutes of fun.

Mountain Goats cassette-only release dropped today.

Limited release of 1000 units, each purchaser could purchase 2, so its really NBD, but it did crash the mergeserver, so demand was there for a lot more

Guys, cassettes have been coming for websites for years. #DisruptiveTechnology

Sad I don’t feel like going to record store to get the new Strokes LP
