Suede - Pantomime Horse (Audio Only)

Suede was released today, 30 years ago, and for me it was the beginning of everything.

The Cynics - Blue train station

Let’s also open the chapter on the Cynics. For my personal taste in garage-garage punk, they are among the very best.

Disillusioned by the local punk scene in which he had grown up (the one around the Electric Banana in Pittsburgh) and disgusted by the rising new romantic movement, Gregg Kostelich decides to return to the purity of the sixties music he had discovered as a kid through 45s he salvaged from a burglary at a radio station in Canonsburg, his hometown. He thus decides to form the Psycho Daisies with the intent of emulating the spirit of bands like Seeds, Music Machine, Blues Magoos, Alarm Clocks, Litter, Nightcrawlers, and Sonics.

Renaming themselves Cynics and replacing Mark Keresman (the one who sings on the band’s debut 7”, NdLYS) with new singer Michael Kastelic, former lead vocalist of the Wake, the band is ready for their debut album, released in 1986 on the band’s own label, catalog number GH-1000.

Alongside Gregg and Michael are the loyal companion Bill Von Hagen (the protagonist of Debt Begins at 20, a short film by Stephanie Beroe that explores the birth of the punk movement in Pittsburgh, NdLYS), a bassist who seems to have slipped out of a Redd Kross album cover, and the lovely Beki Smith on Vox organ. The blue train station is one of the essential stops of the quick neo-garage of the Eighties: loud vocals and a sound that wobbles between fuzz hornets (Waste of Time, borrowing the riff from That’s What You Always Say by Dream Syndicate, Love Me Then Go Away), R ‘n B rattlesnakes (Blue Train Station, No Way, Hold Me Right, the cover of Road Block), and trails of slime from the mollusks that inhabit the folk-rock garden of the sixties (On the Run). There’s little to discard, except that I Want Love had already been done, better, by our Sick Rose and the comparison with the No Friend of Mine by Fuzztones has always favored the latter, forcing us to postpone the appointment with the masterpiece to the next meeting.

The Empty World - The Cure ... #pezziminori ...a short piece but very nice, in my opinion, and it deserves to be "resurrected". Just like other little things by The Top.

Lou Reed - Billy ... voice, acoustic guitar, and sax ... a Lou on a rather lackluster album but containing at least a couple of gems not really in the public domain!

The Creeps - Just What I Need

One of my all-time favorite albums… but what am I even trying to “explain”…

Enjoy The Creeps was the album that took the World Cup of garage revival from the United States. It did so in 1986 and in the two standard halves, without the need for extra time or penalty kicks (quote).
