I met the guys before their concert in my town 2 years ago. Really nice and friendly mates, especially the bass player Richard.

My personal fave album of theirs is Home is Where it Hurts E.P. though. Brilliant music.

Hood rule. Love Silent '88 and Cold House.

I hope you aren't exaggerating, cause I just broke up with my girlfriend and booked a flight to London.

Boners boners boners.

Re: Togawa - I have the nearly as good 2nd Jun Togawa album (Suki Suki Dai Suki) saved on my computer. I'll see if I can't figure out how to put it on the online.

Anything on Ata Tak records, like Pyrolator, Der Moderne Man, Der Plan, etc. I'm the only one I know around here who is into that stuff to any extent.

I have one Kevin Coyne 45; I like it. I know a fair few people who were very upset when he died.

Swirlies - Blonder Tongue Audio Baton

This band doesn't get mentioned nearly enough.

everyone talks about swirlies on here, man. i started talking about em about 2 years ago, actually, after hearing about em from my friend cory. not saying they're not still a pretty obscure band, but this thread is for "albums that you generally think that only yourself knows"... not albums that most of the people on this board know. haha.

but yeah.. great band.

you can download most of their discography off their official website.. perfect.

i think i SLIGHTLY prefer their first ep, "what to do about them".. and i really love cats of the wild volume 2.. WILD CATS ARE FOREVER!

Only people who still find the Ramones 'relevent' need apply

Hawg Tied and the Caroliners - Highway 61 Re-revisited (limited edition pig-shit-brown colored vinyl EP)

Ha! What the fuck! What a cover! Like borderline porn, even!

oh yeah, parenthetical girls are great, i found out of them through your reccomendation hayden.

The Fire Escape- Psychotic Reaction. Typical late 60's garage band. Only released one record, mostly of covers. The thing written by their producer on the back is really funny.

Also I've got this old punk comp with the band 2.3 on it, as well as the Flowers, and Scars. People know about Scars, but the Flowers and 2.3 I never hear anyone mention.

No Knife are a really cool band that no one ever seems to talk about.

I've been flirting with the idea of buying that one for some garage standards played on it are appealing to me.
Would you recommand it?

nobody knows my high school noise/fuck-around band Dying Barnyad Animals except for the members and our friends. we weren't really shooting to get a following so we did whatever amateurish thing we could at gigs so I don't think we had that many true fans. Although I think our stuff was pretty decent.

what we did record (which was rare since we were all taken with the Syd Barrett idea of never playing a song the same way twice) we put on a cd-r and named it "Sounds Like..." My copy is still probably at my parents' house.

yeah i dig no knife. listened to them for the first time in forever a few days ago actually. odd.

oh, a band no one talks about :point line plane.

Yeah, I haven't listened to them in awhile. But everytime I do it's a pleasant listen.

Of course other people know it, but Closed Circuit by Peter Jefferies is my favorite album that nobody I know seems to know. I bought it for $4 used at Phantom City Records in Olympia in the very heart of indie hipdom, so go figure. It's such a phenomenal album.
