New Musik - While You Wait (1981)

Jam packed sampledelic dreamy italo-esque pop-leaning track. Great for a day of motoring around the countryside. My new favorite band. The LP with this track climbed all the way to #67 on the UK charts!

Guns, bullets, explosions, pools, fake mustaches, kidnapping etc.

Duh Duh Duh (2009)

I mean dardardar.org, the latest and greatest listing service for in the know shows in the Bay Area. Great handy little resource that keeps on giving week after week for those tough to find shows that happen in basements, backyards, broom closets & back alleys.

Dig? Dar? Duh?

Look for one of these cardboard collectibles at a store near you:

The Equals - Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys (1971)

The Clash covered this band with "Police On My Back". Eddie Grant is in this band, who later penned the cheesy "Electric Avenue" but also way more killer dance floor cuts. Dj Harvey's side project Map of Africa also covered this song. Need I say more? I first heard this band at Little Joy in Echo Park. I shouldn't have just revealed that. Oops. The Map of Africa version is on the 2006 Sal Principato & Kaos mix "Collectors Series" (which totally rules btw).
