December 21, 2006 Garwood Pickjon 0

Mastica – Restyling

December 15, 2006 Garwood Pickjon 0

Already gaining quite an attention among late’60s/early’70s acid rock fans, this Italian bunch doesn’t actually offer too much of a “restyling” of what they’ve been doing most of the time, which doesn’t happen to be […]

The Maharajas – Weekend Sparks EP

December 14, 2006 Garwood Pickjon 0

Not being in the mood to back up last year’s “Best Album in 2005 according to POPISM” title, The Maharajas still managed to at least sneak into this year’s list as well, with this short […]

Darron J Connett – (Gotta Keep Your) Soul Clean

is back on track #nowplaying some golden Nuggets - Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968 [Elektra, 7E-2006], US 1972.

For those of you who want to dig deeper into this PopDiggers remind you of Garage Rock School! In Garage Rock School we are going to unfold the concept of garage rock by examining the most important testaments of the genre and tracking this music style's evolution from the origins to the present.

Our object of study in lesson 1 was Lenny Kaye's seminal 2LP compilation. Nuggets was instrumental in connecting the garage rock of the '60s with the '70s punk and new wave.

You'll find the article here: https://popdiggers.com/garage-rock-school-lesson-1-nuggets-map/ "Nuggets Map" on picture 2. Or part of it.

Scott is watching the needle while I'm #nowplaying Scott Engel "Scott 4" [Philips, SBL 7913], UK 11/69.

There has been a lot of Scott Walker #ontheturntable the latest month. This is my favourite. Great album.

is #nowplaying The Smiths "The Queen Is Dead" [Rough Trade,  ROUGH 96], 6/1986.

This another LP to grade for the shop. Just learnt that there are two different, but very similar UK pressings (EMI and MPO) of this great album. Have to dig into this.
