Streamers: Beaulieu Porch, Andy Klingensmith, The See See, Blood Lips, Purling Hiss

As you may know, we keep a steady stream of lovedsongs a-dropping into that Currents 3 widget in the upper-right-hand corner of this page. Sometimes, though, they won't drop, especially if they're at Bandcamp. (Songdrop and Bandcamp no longer "get it on.") So that's the case with the following, each of which we love or very much like and hope you do, too.

Update, 28vii18: The LP with the beautiful boy pictured above has disappeared, but some of the songs by this much-beloved UK band, including "Giant Supermen," are now found on the LP in the widget. 

A variation of a song we purchased by another much-beloved UK band.

Kind of a "hurling" theme emerges this week, if, that is, you too are a devotee of  Rev. Spooner. And fear not: PH provide the requisite psychedelic hiccup somewhere between the 1:02 and 1:03 mark. (Alas, the SoundCloud counter does not do hundredths of a second.) Click here if the SoundCloud widget tarries in loading.

We really like this song, too, butt just couldn't get with the photo(s), ass you might see.

From The Active Listener: Beaulieu Porch & Violet Woods

The following are our two favorite poppsych numbers from the latest sampler by The Active Listener, a blog we check pretty much every single day. An additional 16 n-y-pers await your activation at Bandcamp.

Hurry Again: Great Psychpop by Beaulieu Porch & Spider 72

A year ago February we alerted you to some excellent Britpsychpop masterpieces by UK bands Beaulieu Porch and Spider 72 but then found out we were on the verge of being too late to the post. And so it's nice to have a chance at absolution, although once again, we don't know how long this offer stands. Tilsamanns Records have made several full LPs by the bands available for free download, so get thee hither, thither, and yon thith inthtant! Here are a few reasons why:



Update: So, yeh, like we said, we weren't sure how long they'd be free; it's 8/30/14, and they no longer are. They're most definitely worth buying, though, so take it from here.
Update of Update: Well, lookah here, it's John Lennon's and my sister's bday (10/9/14) and the songs look downloadable again. Kewel.











Learn more about Beaulieu Porch here, Spider 72 here, and Tilsamanns Records here. Will you be surprised to learn that we were alerted to the Beaulieu Porch deal by the ever alert 'n active Nathan Ford at The Active Listener? Of course you won't. And profusely do we thank Master Nathan Ford and Tilsamanns Records, forevah and evah.

Actively Listening to The Dolly Rocker Movement, My Drunken Haze, Beaulieu Porch, & The PeΔrls

We just got a message from the ever-active Nathan announcing The Active Listener Sampler 7. Without fanfare we post our favorites, even if they make you even further aware of our own bloggy torpor. (In other venues, we're as busy as a no-armed paper hanger.) You can download the entire excellent sampler on a NAME YOUR PRICE basis. You might want to check out our previous post with still gratisgrabbable songs from The Active Listener here.  That is all. (For now.)







Seeing that song by Milanesinas*** The PeΔrls reminded us of one of theirs we recently found and loved, so here it is. The entire eponymous EP or LP or whatever it is is available for free download at Bandcamp.


***Possible made-up word, just a guess, really

HURRY!!! – Free From the Tillsammans: Spider 72 & Beaulieu Porch

In our last post we hooked you up with nine fab psychpoppers from four Bandcamp pages posted by the The Active Listener blog. We noted that TAL had provided lots of links to the sampleds' band pages but that we hadn't yet begun to scratch the itch. Well guess what, our claws are out and the dopamine is flowing.

In Seven, the mysterious Spider 72 have put out one of the strongest LPs of the past twelvemonth. It's a psychpop pleasure from start to finish. Click here and here to find out more about this Tillsammans Records' product.

We're posting several of our favorites from Seven. The widgets read "Buy," and "Buy" you certainly may. Know, though, that the digital version of the entire LP is downloadable on a name-your-price basis at Bandcamp. We gripped it at a very nice price indeed. (Update: Uh-oh, we just noticed at the Spider 72 Facebook page that time is almost up to download the LPs for free. GRIP THEM NOW!)





We had actually already bought some songs by Beaulieu Porch, but are pleased to find they are also available for name-your-price download at Bandcamp. But again, ACT NOW. It might already be too late to get them at this special price.
