harlem "free drugs" and "hippies" LPs


harlem is fast becoming my new fav bands.... catchy garage pop of the most hip shaking kind.....

and their new LP "hippies" out on matador in april is in heavy rotation at my place....(though i won't share it with you since matador always takes down my links.....)


both their albums are great....you need to own them both.......

hot rats, yes that's what i said



perhaps 2/3s of supergrass masquerading under a pseudonym releasing a fast burning covers LP might not be what you expect me to like. well me neither, especially since i'm not much a fan of their day jobs as brit pop propagators.......

but the hot rats are like a really good cover band at a wedding when yr drunk and wanna dance--which is to say, just what you want....... so it being saturday night (and i'm on my way to a show), the turn ons LP is just what i need as pre-show music......

listen via myspace here....... maybe you'll give in too.
