I wonder how Jim Amendments is feeling right now seeing those pics of the National Guard all huddled together sleeping on the floors of Federal buildings.

I think I saw this on the cover of some antifolk album circa 2003.

#NowSpinning Roni Griffith - Desire The German pressing of this Bobby "O" Orlando produced #newwave #Hi-NRG #disco album by a former Kid Creole & His Coconuts member. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Gianna Nannini - Puzzle (1984) Synth-filled #newwave #Italopop from this singer who gained quite a following in Germany. In fact, this is a German pressing of the album. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Renato Zero - Zerolandia (1978) Interesting, lightweight, fun Italian #disco #glamrock. A Roman Bowie meets Mott The Hoople? Marco Bolani and T-Rex? #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Timbiriche - La Banda Timbiriche (1982) Kiddie #bubblegum pop with a #newwave twist from CDMX that launched many careers including Paulina Rubio and, a few years later, Thalía. I believe they started as a musical educational program. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Pipsqueak - Fowl Hymns (2009) One last one from Washington state with this Seattle acoustic #punk #folkpunk outsider country act. Acoustic guitar + cello. Busker music. I dig it. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning The Electric Kisses - s/t (2006) Catchy Seattle #punk with #powerpop hooks produced by Popllama boss Conrad Uno at his Egg Studio. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Fitz of Depression - Let's Give It A Twist (1994) Sloppy, catchy #punk in the melodic #hardcore vein from this Olympia, WA band. Produced/engineered by Calvin Johnson & the great Jack Endino at Dub Narcotic. On K Records, natch. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning The Fabulous Wailers - s/t (1959) The Tacoma, WA #garagerock greats kick off their career with this slice of #surf infused #fratrock rave ups. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

[DJ Khalid voice] And anutha one!

#NowSpinning Sussman Lawrence - Pop City (1984) This ambitious sophomore album by the Minnesota band is a 2xLP affair filled to the brim with more of the great #powerpop showcased on their debut. Himmelman went on to record a few solo #newwave LPs & kids albums. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning Sussman Lawrence - Hail To The Modern Hero (1979) Top notch Elvis impersonation on this LP, but it's Costello and not Presley. Catchy, quirky #newwave #powerpop #punk from this group fronted by Peter Himmelman. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Scott Jones - Solo (1981) This Twin Cities keyboard player/arranger plays all the instruments on this, his third album of nicely produced pop piano rock. His first is great outsider folk & #psychedelic pop, but he gets more conventional as he continues #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning Prince - Raspberry Bererlt b/w She's Always In My Hair (1985) Extended "New Mix" versions of these two Paisley Park hits. I probably should have played this on his birthday yesterday, but it'll kick off a short MLPS set instead. #NowSpinning #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning The Impacts - Wipe Out! (1963) High quality #surfrock featuring guitar by legendary #psychedelic burnout surfer/musician Merrell Fankhauser before the Kentuckian caught the Aloha Spirit and moved to Hawai'i. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Freakout Guitars - Freakout!! The Great New Guitar Sounds (1968) This slab of groovy instrumental #psychedelic #surfrock exploitation has all the hallmarks of a Jerry Kole joint, but I can't find any evidence that he recorded this one. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Nightmare Alley - Moose And Squirrel Must Die (1982) Oddball #garagerock with #punk attitude from Belleville in upstate NY. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Todd Hobin Band - s/t (1978) Melodic #AOR with some groovy country moves, hard rock crunch, and '70s #powerpop hooks from Syracuse. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

Digging through some stuff and found these. Remember these old RSD totes? These two were my favorites.

A story in two parts:

#NowSpinning Urban Guerrillas - Attack of the Pink Heat Seeking Moisture Missiles (1985) Minimalist Minneapolis, Minnesota #postpunk with dashes of #funk and #folkrock. Interesting takes on The Beat Goes On & Knockin' On Heaven's Door. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Thundermug - Ta-Daa!! (1975) Boogie filled hard rock and #glam from this London, Ontario group. This is the superior US press which swaps out two shitty ballads for much better tracks. Americans know Banga Banga Humpa Humpa is a hit. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Jenny Darren - Queen Of Fools (1978) Pleasant pop rock from this UK singer who led the band The Second City Sound. Opens with the original version of Heartbreaker, which was a hit for Pat Benetar. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Joey Stec - s/t (1976) Singer-songwriter #powerpop with #glam touches from/this former member of #psychedelic band The Millenium. He also toured with Blues Magoos and was an in demand session musician. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning The Johnny Moped Bootleg Tapes Volumes I & II (2007) A 2xLP collection of home recordings/demos/live tracks from this UK #pubrock #punk pioneer born Paul Halford with Captain Sensible on guitar. Cool color #vinyl with one disk black/white & one pink/green. #NowPlaying #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning Frank Chickens - We Are Frank Chickens (1984) Quirky #newwave #postpunk #synthpop from Japan with a nice helping of #zolo zaniness. Recorded in the UK with guests including Alexander Balanescu, Bosco De Oliveria, and Roberto Pla. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

The lily is still holding on.

#NowSpinning Plasmatics- Beyond The Valley Of 1984 (1981) Mohawk #punk in #heavymetal clothing... or lack thereof in frontwoman Wendy O. Williams' case. The 2nd LP after a string of 7"s & last with Jean Beauvoir. An OG Stiff America press. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

I was cleaning the debris out of the pond and was wondering if there are pool skimming competitions like those squeegee/window cleaning events I see on social media.

#NowSpinning Dead Moon - Unknown Passage (1989) The Mississippi Records reissue of the 2nd LP by Fred Cole & Toody's post-The Rats #garagerock #punk band. The #psychedelic sounds of The Lollipop Shoppe remain, but this is lo-fi burnout music at it's best. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning The Fall - The "Domesday Pay-Off" Triad-Plus! (1987) Essentially the Bend Sinister album w a few track swaps for the US market. I enjoy the almost poppy moments with the usual #postpunk #artpunk sarcasm from Mark E Smith & his current set of musicians #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

Nightmare blunt rotation for today's featured birthdays.

SOMEBODY BRING THESE BACK PLEASE
