Tonight at the Brattle, 9:30 PM, "The Talons Of Weng Chiang" episode of the best Doctor Who, his Doctorness Tom Baker. It's 5 bucks. Be there. I will.

Hey folks, haven't checked back onto the LJ in a long time and didn't realize I was posting stuff from Blip.fm here! Mea maxima maxima maxima culpa.

@raiopositronico Here's another good one.

For my brother who introduced me to the Weasel.

...and the children of the Shoes.

Power pop done to perfection

Not the 70s British band (also known as Little Bo Bitch) or the Texas blues/rock act but a fake band formed a Swedish book.

Before Dexy's Midnight Runners, Kevin Roland sang for this band. Great stuff.

This song grows on you after you play "True Crime: New York City" a couple of times.

Under heavy manners.

The best track from 1988's so-so "Thrill Me Up" album.

I miss these guys, one of the only "3rd wave" ska bands I enjoyed.

from the 1979 split with Dow Jones & The Industrials: "Hoosier Hysteria"

Yes.

A lost late-70s power pop gem. From their only record, 1978's "Jingles"

@DownLow here's a J&MC song for you. Classic.

From the "Stiffs Live" album, terrific.

The metal band who tour libraries. Live to read, read to live.

The funk!

The b-side to their first single, "United", on their own Industrial Records label (which gave the genre its name). More fun facts...
