The next volume of garage punk 45s and LP cuts I made for myself a few years ago moves partially out of the 1980s and into the first year or...

(This is adapted from a post I published a couple of years ago in which I posted this song as well). Who were the WHITEFRONTS ? Well, when I...

I’d have to vote GRASS WIDOW as my favorite current band right about now. This new San Francisco trio have one-upped themselves on their ne...

I mentioned a few posts ago about my 2000-2004 fetish of digitizing just about every piece of 33rpm and 45rpm vinyl I’d ever owned, which ba...

Like a lot of fortysomethings - as opposed to fiftysomethings - my first exposure to Leeds, England's MEKONS came in the mid-1980s, when...

(This is a re-post from 2007) I’m not the only person to have posted these tracks in the quote-unquote blogosphere, but I’ve lived in perpet...

(This is a re-post from a couple years ago) Circa 1991-94, no rock and roll label could touch In The Red Records . Most still can’t. I remem...

Without going into too much detail, the late 80s/early 90s, Oakland-by-way-of-Santa Barbara band MONOSHOCK were both personal friends and a ...

When I got big into digitizing my vinyl, it extended my already-crazed obsession with creating personal compilations of music, which started...

My favorite record last year by a mile was the debut four-song "Sistema De Terminación Sexual" 7”EP from Monterey, Mexico’s XYX ...

Around the turn of the 21st Century – that is, about nine years ago - I started seriously digitizing my vinyl collection, and even made a qu...

(Reposted by request) I own exactly one record by a modern instrumental surf band ( correction: make that two records ), and it’s the raw-as...

(Note: I wrote the following on my old blog AGONY SHORTHAND in April 2003. Then I posted the song here on Detailed Twang in early 2007, us...

Back in the 1980s and early 90s me and my pals Grady & Jon took an interest in discovering what one of us, I’m not sure whom, termed “St...

This is another bellwether 45 in my teenage musical education, and for a long time I felt like it was a record that only I knew about. While...

This post is seriously cribbed from a review of THE LAZY COWGIRLS' masterpiece "Tapping The Source" that I wrote for my old b...

(Note - this is a re-post "by request" of a song we put up here back in 2007) This is a very classy proto-punk, metal-tinged scor...

Two more 1960s “ye-ye” tracks for you today, both as pretty as a poodle. “Le Chevalier” from JIJI is all raw, twinkling guitar and come-hit...
