#62, flipsides update and briefly back to the 12's

Every now & then I pull my finger out and do an update at the flipsides page - now is one of those times...

Then for today I decided to pay another visit to the 12's, given last time it went down so well. The only advance on last time is then I said it was a "one off" but I've upsized that concept to one of "every now and then" for reachin' into the 12's and picking a random 10 - and again now is one of those times...

Plenty plenty more 7's to come though :)

#61....made it through a year !!

Today is the first anniversary of this blog and it's been an eventful year and glad to have made it this far !!

A few flexis today ( Magic Shop & Strawberry Story ) and one that sounds like a fexi but isn't ( Bugbear ) but sounds like it was recorded on a very low budget cassette ( Sweda perhaps ?? )...Bugbear featuring Amelia & Matthew Fletcher...and Amelia "doesn't wanna be a sea monkey"

A few from Orange Juice in there as well, including a latter day Postcard single from the lads. The 14 Iced Bears single is from a reissue on Slumberland ( sadly can't claim having the original single of 'Inside" in that wild pink & crimson lollybag cover - boohoo ).

By the way looks like I'm about 1/2 way through the singles...yes folks it will end one day...not soon but one day...though my new motto in life is "it doesn't have to turn out badly", so meantime enjoy :)

first up next week - James Dean Driving Experience ( OOOOH YEAH )

#59, getting close the 1 year anniversary

Just 2 weeks away from the first anniversary of this blog !

The Field Mice starting today with September's Not So Far Away, well it's not far enough away for me as that when I had my accident and in some regards still paying for it. On the other hand it's a great song by The Field Mice, even if it is a tad too close to the bone for me, don't let that stop you enjoying it, huh.

We've had "Out Of Reach" by The Primitives before ( #11 ) but this not only different packaging, a so called "limited edition" but I swear the mix is different, or is that just an auditory illusion ?? This one's probably the album version is my wild hypothesis but don't quote me on that.

The only other things I really need to point out are - the Heavenly track is from a split 7 with Bis and The Traitors were a Sydney band, other than this single I didn't ever know much about them. Only that the "lead guitar" work gave me a bit of a giggle today.

here ya go...
