#NowSpinning DMZ - 1976-1977: Demos/Live (1991) An uncreative title that delivers what it promises w a bunch of tracks from the Boston #garagerock #punk act featuring Jeff "Monoman" Connolly (Lyres) & David Robinson (The Modern Lovers, The Pop & The Cars) #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning King Tuff -s/t (2012) A bit more subdued on this Sub Pop debut. A little less hooky, a little less wild, but still fun, fuzzy #bubblegum #powerpop #garagerock #glam. Killer artwork too. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Meyer Davis Plays The Twist (1962) This veteran bandleader with records dating back to the late '20s jumps on the twist (big) bandwagon with (understandably) jazzy flare and a fare share of crooning. On Cameo Records. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Steven Garrick And His Party Twisters – Come On Everybody Let's Twist! (1961) A bunch of jazz session musicians on this one which has the most use of the word "twist" of any twistploitation record I own. All 12 tracks include the word. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning The Original Twisters – Come On And Twist (1962) A couple of Southern producers (from LA/TX) behind this one for Mercury's budget Wing label. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Robby Robber and the Hi-Jackers - Let's Twist Again (1961) An aptly named album, as I continue this section of my Twistploitation collection. This is one of three twist records by the Coronet records studio creation. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

Hyacinths are in bloom now.

#NowSpinning Limbo Rock Played By Writer Billy Strange With The Telstars (1962) Capitalizing on a different Chubby Checker hit with this one. Although, as the aforementioned writer of the hit, it's well within his rights. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Fats And The Chessmen - Come On Everybody - Let's Do The Twist (1962) Another riff on the naming convention w this one apparently tied to prolific EZ Listening purveyors 101 Strings. I'm always a sucker for a cover of Jessie Hill’s Ooh Poo Pa Doo. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning Tubby Chess And His Candy Stripe Twisters Do The Twist (1962) I always love the riff on Fats Domino/Chubby Checker. This one is on the famed Pickwick budget label. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

Trump heard that the USA network was going to need an hour of programming after WWE cuts the length of Smackdown so he pardoned The Chrisleys.

#NowSpinning The Adventurers- Can't Stop Twistin' (1961) Continuing to do the twist with this act from Seattle, WA. This one is from an actual, established band that seems to have jumped on the twist craze. They gotta Columbia contract, so itnpaid off. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Ray Gunn & His Blasters - Come On Let's Do The Twist (1960) Dipping into the twistploitation stash with this one featuring studio musicians on the Parade label. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

Whenever I need to get some extra steps in on my morning walk, I do a few Billy from Family Circus laps around the bank's little square/park/public space.

No offense to them, but I blame those Etsy artists who would create a portrait of your pet in the style of classical painters for the rise of generative AI art.

#NowSpinning Robe - s/t (1987) Funky UK #electro #newwave #synthpop featuring members of East 17. Produced by Alvin A. Davies for his 2000 A.D. label #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Ichabod Stowe - It's My Turn (1989) Varied #indierock from #surfrock #janglepop with country twang to white guy #reggae to #acoustic #folkrock to #newwave pop rock with saxophone from this NY group. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning The Feelies - the Good Earth (1986) Much of the #postpunk edge & #artpunk naivety is gone in favor of pure #janglepop with REM's Peter Buck producing, but the album is undeniable. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Meet Redondo Beat (1981) Super #60s influenced #garagerock #powerpop #punk from . One of those $5 flyers from the Bomp warehouse finds. Gelnhausen, Germany, the city where The Monks were stationed as GIs. One of those $5 Bomp! Warehouse finds #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

Today's the day.

Mountain Dew Bauhaus Blast is a good one. I wonder what flavor it would be.

#NowSpinning King Tuff - Was Dead (2007) Splendid stoner #punk & fuzzy #powerpop #garagerock #glam from Battleboro, VT native Kyle Thomas., member of Witch alongside J. Mascis. It's probably been over 10 yrs since I listened to this and it still rips. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSk

RIP Rick Derringer. This video of The McCoys' Hang On Sloopy is a masterpiece. youtu.be/TlTKhPkZSJo?...

#NowSpinning The Meteors - Teenage Heart (1980) Enjoyable #powerpop #glam #punk from this band from The Netherlands. It's brought down a bit by some of the #disco production. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Elton Motello - Victim Of Time (1978) Speak of the devil, here's his underrated #powerpop #punk debut featuring his reworking of Bertrand's Ça Plane Pour Moi, renamed Jet Boy Jet Girl. His version was popularized by The Damned. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

I'm not sure this one will make it.

#NowSpinning Plastic Bertrand - L'Album (1980) A nice, #synthpop #newwave effort with #disco and #powerpop vibes from this #fakepunk poster boy and former Hubble Bubble member. It's ok, but I'm an Elton Motello guy. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning The Reducers - Guitar, Bass & Drums (2008) The last studio album by these New London, CT #powerpop #punk band on their 30th anniversary. Mark Mulcahy (Miracle Legion, Polaris) guests. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

Uh... no.

#NowSpinning Paul Collins - Out Of My Head (2018) Another #powerpop legend and member of The Nerves & The (US) Beat. These guys almost never lose their songwriting mojo. Even if they production/style goes. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky
