Nell Smith - Anxious

it slipped my mind this was coming out it's a great listen she certainly knew at a very young age how to write a great pop song... what a sad lose

Pet Shop Boys - Pet Shop Boys (1983 Demo)


http://archive.org/details/pet-shop-boys-pet-shop-boys-1983-demo


also known as the Bobby O(rlando} sessions

based on what I can tell the only commercially released tracks from this demo where the original version of West End Girls and One More Chance

given the numerous releases of "Please" and other PSB rarities I don't if any these were released...

[kosmo vinyl]

of course that was posted for the one person who doesn't stream music

[hutch]

Oh it’s been released many times in dodgy cd presses…I don’t know why it’s never appealed to me…it’s somewhere around here…they kind of sound unpolished

[kosmo vinyl]

yeah outside of a couple of their future hits these tracks are pretty ragged... 

[hutch]

I read somewhere that new order ripped off Bobby Orlando’s Passion for Blue Monday but not sure I buy it

Found this yesterday at a Goodwill for $1.99! The 1982 Brazilian reissue. Nearly died of shock. This was definitely one of my white whales and I had resisted buying one of the newer reissues that are going to be sourced from the CD.. I believe this is from a BBC radio collection that got donated…. I found it along with 20 world music albums (African). Nothing incredible, mainly mid 80s American label releases of South African music when I guess Graceland hit and everyone was capitalizing on this trend.

Bandalos Chinos - Vándalos

since they were on my mind I went to listen to El Big Blue an album i'm enjoying at the moment and noticed their new was out.. definitely dancefloor friendly and on the tracks jumping out at me is El Ritmo.  Starts out with a great bouncing bassline and by the end transitions into a Chemical Brotheresque banger.

Spent almost a week out in Nevada, hanging with my brother-in-law and his wife.  Their cars were all set to some live Grateful Dead Sirius XM stations.  That shit sucks!

I don’t know what you mean!

You start out basically calling it a grail record then by the end you say it isn't really anything special, man.

Oh no it’s definitely a grail record. It’s Brazilian tropicalia. It’s the tropicalia manifesto record with songs by Caetano, Gil, Gal, Nara, Os Mutantes….its a very cool record.

The OTHER stuff I dismissed. The African music. And all I meant was they aren’t like highly collectible African pressings of Fela or what have you. A lot of made for the West comps. Musically I will have to listen to them to tell and of course I bought them all. I just meant they are not rare African African funk records or something.
