Bloody Good Tu(n)esday: Matti Jasu and the Loose Train, The Sonic Mood Set, The Click Beetles, Slushy, Human Colonies, Plant Cell

Herewith, a few idylls by which to idle away this Ides of March.

Thanks to Power Popa Holic for the headsup up on these young Turku Finns.

Are we beginning to seem like a wholly unowned subsidiary of The Active Listener? Would that be a bad thing? Check out TAL's excellent compilation, The Great British Psychedelic Trip Revisited for more groovy psychpop. In addition to the one in the widget, we particularly liked #5, Rob Clarke & The Wooltones' cover of The Monkees' "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone," and #8, Holy Glories' "In Your Tower." Actually, they're in the widget, too.

Our favorite from Popdose's Dw Dunphy's excellent compilation.

TRADITIONAL POWERPOPULIST SPACEHOLDER THINGY

Check out our previous Slushy post and visit their various Bandcamp pages for lots more name-your-pricers.

Above and below are our two favorites from The Blog That Celebrates Irself's excellent Chapterhouse tribute compilation.

We ourselves paid tribute to Chibaband Plant Cell in a previous post. This cover cements our love. (Pardon the mixed metaphor.)

Mushy Over Slushy

Not sure if you wanta/needta know the provenance of our various infatuations, but this one came via an email from Mindy over at Bachelor Records. Thanks, Mind, for putting us in touch with these Chicago poppers. There are more name-your-own-pricers over at Bandcamp, along with some that are denominated for ya.



Track 5 ("Ivory Soap") is our preferred ditty on Nuggish.
