Song of the day – 260: Talulah Gosh (the original interview)

“Each time we play live we always repeat the magic words ‘punk rock, punk rock’ to each other just to reminds ourselves why we’re here”

Song of the day – 250: Morgan And The Organ Donors

I love Ramones and trash rock. Morgan And The Organ Donors love Ramones and trash rock. So where’s the problem?

Song of the day – 239: Hunx And His Punx

I’m finding the first video here disturbingly erotic as well as salacious and catchy

Song of the day – 211: Hotpants Romance

It seems almost inconceivable to me that I haven’t drawn your attention to the many-splendoured delights of Hotpants Romance before

Song of the day – 172: Chin Chin

Some fucking killer girl-punk from the Eighties, from Switzerland: friends and contemporaries and musical peers and label-mates of Shop Assistants: abrasive, melodic, sometimes filled with sadness, other times just a raucous blast of pure entertainment!

Song of the day – 135: Town Bike

I’m a sucker for any band that’s a sucker for early Ramones the same as me, especially if they have a female singer. Of course, this sucker-dom can manifest itself in many ways.

Song of the day – 124: Allo Darlin’

Don’t be put off by 1) the name, or 2) the beards, or 3) the cardigans. This is twee pop par excellence. Oh, don’t be put off by 4) the use of the word ‘twee’ in these circumstances either. I too despise it with a vengeance, but sometimes it’s easier just to bow gracefully and […]

Song of the day – 60: Lust-Cats of the Gutters

As I’ve stated before, I’m riotously easy to please. As I’ve stated before, you want me to hear your music? Send me a link to an MP3 or your MySpace page. Don’t bother your cute honey ass with money-wasting promo CDs and international postal rates. Lust-Cats of the Gutters will never be this great again. […]

Song of the day – 36: Ramones

I have plenty of favourite Ramones song. Plenty. This happens to be one of the many. Joey’s lyrical imagery here is pretty much unmatched in any other Ramones songs: so evocative, so aching with the pain of being away for months on end from the one you love (and shortly to lose the one you […]
