Nick- Homeshake – Horsie
“Homeshake is back for the second time this year. This album is definitely a return to his usual style. Melancholic and dreamy.”
Duane- Spacemen 3 – Taking Drugs To Make Music To Take Drugs To
“Rock critic Lester Bangs (cautionary warning: dead at 33 from an overdose of Darvon and NyQuil) wrote, ‘In the beginning there was feedback: the machines speaking on their own, answering their supposed masters with shrieks of misalliance.’ Along with other children of Velvet Undergrounds’ masterpiece of feedback and perversity, ‘Sister Ray’ like Jesus & Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine, Spacemen 3 make a music that actually allows you substitute a listening experience for a NyQuil binge. This collection has all their best tricks and, I think, their best songs. Relax. Float downstream.”
Doug M- Glaxo Babies – Dreams Interrupted
“One of the original post-punk movement’s BEST and least heralded bands. This double album collects their first period of output from 1978 to 1980. Tense, angular, skronky, and disaffected songs that get more and more experimental as the album progresses. “There’s blood on my mirror – I smashed up my room!!” I LOVE IT SO MUCH!”
