THE HOLLOW MEN-white train

Here's another 12" single from hollow men released in 1988 under arista records pre-madchester/acidhouse era. this cut was in the album "the man who would be king". i like this song because its got a little new wave, c86 jangly rhythm to it. this goes out to my fellow blogger DR. STIRRINGRHOD who we both share the same admiration towards the band, you can also find an extensive history of the band in his site http://docmuzic.blogspot.com/2010/01/hollow-men.html

THE HOLLOW MEN- november comes (extended)

(tugtugpakpatupatugpak part2) like a sudden burst of rocknrolla energy from your speakers...i can attest, if you're ever in ecstacy or crystal meth this would be the track for it, i mean man!! you'd be all over the place. Another uderrated band from leeds they've been around since 1985 and took little notice by listeners and music critics. This remix version compared to the original is best included to your list because of the excellent wah wah guitars and drum beats. Do take time to listen...its worth the lost cause!!

SPACE MONKEYS-let it shine

(tugtugpak-tupatupatugpak) as noisey would describe any band with a madchester sytle of play...this band should be worth mentioning when it comes to madchester pop related subjects. Hailing from my favorite place in england, the great city of manchester, this band released their '97 factory records album the daddy of them all to an almost fading baggy/acidhouse scenery. upon listening to their music you could almost hear a Liamesque twang on the vocals during his definitely maybe days coupled with the heavy drum beats of 'ol classic madchester, makes me reminisce of the times with my dj buddys when it comes to closing out every gig...that was the only time that we actually let ourselves shine!!

THE DANDYS-i wanna be like you

Ok im back to britpop mode again...i will be posting a couple tracks this month so keep bloggin in.

So here are the dandys, a 5 piece act from leeds with this infectious little tune from their one and only album release symphonic screams back in '98. Eventhough this band didn't make it far enough to be recognized,in my opinion they still can be considered as part of the britpop collective of the '93 to '99 era. The horn and harmonica blend in this track really sets it apart from the others at the time and the vocalist reminds me of suede. anyway this song is dedicated to my britpop mates cino, noisey and spacekid...coz they wanna be like me...i know i know just kidding!

RUMORS/FACES DANCE HITS part 1

RATIONAL YOUTH-holiday in bangkok

This canadian new wave band released this track back in 1985 and was a minor hit in the philippines. It was played at local dance clubs back then and still could be played with todays music trend, i think. Don't be mistaken when it gets to the part where the chorus goes.....you will definitely be shaking your head and going "oh yeah i heard this one before" so anyway dust those old pair of sperry topsiders you have in your closet and sport that wayfarer shades you still have laying around somewhere and head on down to RUMORS...which ofcourse might be a call center facility now of somekind hehehe Just dance in your room!

PRIMARY COLOURS-paint love blue (extended mix)

Minimal synth venture from '85, this US band from Ohio sadly had only one record to their name an EP from after hours label, with this haunting song. I particularly fancy this mix because the vocals reminds me a little bit of koo de tah and all about eve and the breaking beats at the middle of the song makes you wanna slap another record to the table and start mixing...know what i mean dj noisey yeeee. thanks to my brother's recollection i would have never discovered this, oh and by the way, if you ever come across one get it, from what i gathered, this record is in the $100 and up kinda rarity.

"NEVER HEARD" flashbacks

this track here is very memorable to me. it started back in 2nd year high school (c1986), a friend of mine named raymond lend me his cassette tape of new wave songs which at that time had a few fra lippo lippi songs in it and as far as i know has not been air played at that time...he said listen to "fra lippo lippi", as i kinda laughed at the bands name, anyway i liked it, however this particular song i posted caught my attention because it was sooo new wave that to my surprise, my friend didn't know the titlesong and the band that played it. i know i heard it once before in xb 102 and waited 'til they mention it at the end but they never did, i returned the tape back without even making a copy of it, after years had passed (approx. 23 years) i never heard the song again , i even asked my friends levan and larry about the song but all they can say was that it sounded familiar but had no clue who and what the song was. one day during work i was listening at an internet new wave station (non filipino) and they played the song, i listened to it intently then made a few searches after which i found out finally who they were. i honestly thought i will die never hearing this song again but the new wave gods were kind enough to give me one more chance...hehehe, so here it is make a guess and let me know, i tell you now, it will make your head tilt...

NEW ORDER- bizzare love triangle (richard X mix)

i was sifting thru my records and found this compilation with the track from new order. seldom do i see blogs mentioning them so i just thought maybe i should put one up for the heck of it. i like this remix from richard x a british songwriter and record producer. it is a simple club mix which to me seems perfect in that sense, i've heard other mixes before but this one's really the best. anyway i know most of you have the original track stuffed somewhere, but if you dont have a copy of this please add it.

THE CARETAKER RACE- i wish i'd said that

this band from london bore greatness in 1986 and is a melting pot of ex indiepop musicians from different bands that you might have heard of. released on foundation records in 1989, "i wish i'd said that" is a quirky little number. so take it from me, do snap to the beat, it's a snaz!
