Punks, Rockers, Mods and Teds,
How are you today? Lying in bed, drinking your free sample of posh, good for you, Exhale Coffee, as recommended by Instagram, having just had your mushroom gummies, and about to do your chair t’ai chi. Me too mates, me too. Then I will head to the coalface of rock and roll and wait expectantly for your little smiling faces, your little hands clutching cash* ready to buy one of this weeks new releases.
First up is Eero Koivistoinen and his 1968 Finnish Psychedelic Free Jazz banger** Valakunta. Reissued by and available in Redruth for the first time ever I’m pretty sure.
Mike D out of The Beastie Boys first solo LP recorded with his kids and called Thank You.
The Muffs Live at Fort Apache Kim Shattuck’s band (who sadly died) who I think later went on to replace Kim Deal in the Pixies. The old band recorded at Fort Apache in Boston. It snowed all the time we were there. First person to buy this gets an exciting Fort Apache story. Maybe.
Pulp Live. Pulp band live. It doesn’t say where on the sleeve. Recentish gigs though I’m sure.
Michael Jackson-The definitive Collection.
A Certain Ratio The Joy of Sextet and Force Majeure. Underrated Manchester/ Factory band. These are unreleased versions of the tracks on the original LPs recorded at the same time.
Ty Segall Chrome.
Fatback Band Do the Spanish Hustle Joe Clausell remix, continuing the Spring Revisted series. Remixing tunes from the New York label.
Floating Points -Mere Mortals. After last years LP of bangers FP/SS Is back with (it says here) A 14-track symphonic ballet score for 80 musicians reimagining the Greek myth of Pandora, exploring curiosity, human transformation, and technology. Nice. He’s quite good isn’t he?
A new Dinosaur Jr LP There Near. I wonder what this will sound like?***
Not pictured Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits Deluxe version.
*cards also accepted
** full disclosure: also includes poetry.
*** Niche J Mascis “joke”
Christ I forgot Prince as well. Timeless. A compilation of unreleased and rare tracks.
An ace selection i’m sure you’d agree. Only available at your local record shop.
See you later.
