The Death Of Pop Live! (short "i")

We posted London band The Death Of Pop years ago and rejoice in the hyperbolic inaccuracy of their bandname. We like "Locomotive" off of their new Discos De Kirlian LP, Turn, and LOVE the first two janglers on their year-old EP, Bubble Bath. BTW, that previous post of TDOP still offers groovy nypers for your consideration.

Supercherruy "doesn't wanna share it," but We Do.

Uptempo psych in a big WAVE file, so you might want to convert to mp3. Found at Psychgazer post .106, which has some pretty pstunning pstuff. More freebies at Londoners' SoundCloud page. Facebook 'em 'ere.

Unbeatable: London's The Tamborines

Old (she turned me into a) Knut has a great Best of 2015 Month-by-Month thing going over at Eardrums Music. So what's that got to do with anything here in the hinterlands? So glad someone asked.

You may remember our posting a superfine one by London band The Tamborines, oh, maybe two months or so ago? Well, Knut's put them in the top LPs part of his July/August 2015 Part 1 list, and we're ecstatic he did. And we mean ecstatic, for we found several eardrumsfull of great powergazenoisepsychpop at two of their Bandcamp pages. Here are our very favorites from each. If you like, click appropriately.

Btw, Knut seemed to prefer the latest LP to the first one, but with us it was kind of the opposite, although both are great. We're going in chronological order.









Here's this year's model. (A friend once told us, "pp, you have a gift for the obvious." Quite flattered we were.)








This one has a kind of a TFC feel, whattaya think?

Love, Hippies & Gangsters

Love? Check. Hippies? Sure. Gangsters? Thanks to The Active Listener for the headsup on this London-based headband. We mostly love #'s 1 & 2. More at Bandcamp and Facebook.

Colour Me Wednesday on . . . Yessssss!

Woo and hoo, right day this time, although we stick by our previous assertion that any dotw is right for listening to this terrific Hillingdon houtfit. We've been enjoying "Purge Your Inner Tory" for a couple of years now and just came across a pleaser we missed June a year ago. Click through to that previous post to hear/download "Tory" and gain passage to lots of sites to read and listen at. We really enjoyed their frequently-asked answers and are particularly intrigued by the revelation that "Yes, we all have nice boobies . . .," especially considering their excellent drummer is male. Something in the Thames?

Weak Nerves' Strong Slack

Free download here

This London trio slacks vox to the point of indecipherability, but you know what, so what? We love the big sound. Grab another song at SoundCloud and info and such at Facebook. If you prefer Bandcamp, click it. Slack post.

Hear Hear The See See!

We've been enjoying this London band's loverly paisleypop for several years now and were prompted by a visit to the excellent Songdrop page of Power Pop Review's knowledgeable Debra47 to see if SoundCloud might have any free and legals. Well, guess what. Explore and purchase here, here, here, here, and here. Their U.S. full-length debut drops March 8 on the Sundazed label, as celebrated here and here.

The next three are full-fledged fabs in our ears, but you might want to know that they are largish WAVE files (in the 25.5-38.4 MB range). Most computers can accommodate files this size quite comfortablly; ours certainly did, and our lives are much the better for it.

Do Night Flowers Sleep Alone in Single Beds?

Funny, isn't it, what one might unearth while poking around one's Shoegaze mix at one's Songdrop page? (Hilarious, pp, just hilarious.) Well, that snide remark notwithstanding, we were grooving gazily to this song by London band Night Flowers and wondered if it might be available for free download. Well, guess what. First we dl'ed the version at Soundcloud, all 109.1 MB, which was a lot of megs but well worth it. Then we found the version below at only 6.05. TMI? Not enough? Does any of this matter? Yes, yes, & yes, but we'll go ahead and stfu and leave you alone with two wonderful songs.
