on this date in 1981, the psychedelic furs put out "talk talk talk" and my whole world turned upside down

Acoustic guitars! What?!? I’m pretty sure that very early teenage me thought this intro was amazing. So when the Electric Guitar and Drums enter, they do so with Aplomb. To put it mildly. The guitar is HUGE. The riff is HUGE. All Of This And Nothing - the band’s most ambitious piece, at that juncture. 6 minutes 23 seconds. A phonebook full of accidents A girl to drive your car A suit to wear on Mondays And a coat a magazine A heavy rain a holiday A painting of the wall A knife, a fork and memories A light to see it all You didn't leave me anything That I can understand It’s pretty great, really great, and then, well, it doesn’t *quite* deliver the money shot. Hey, I never meant that stuff I want to turn you round But then the final, excellent conclusion Now I'm left with all of this A room full of your trash Maybe a touch too much sax, but lovely. The band that refuses to be a rock pop band makes an almost perfect rock pop album. I'm pretty sure my first band started almost right after this. I couldn't play for shit, but then, I didn't NEED to.

Radio city

Just really stunning early alt rock songwriting that Big Star is known for, but the guitars on this one are a big step up from #1 Record.

The debut LP from the jesus and Mary chain

On this day, all the way back in 1985 Two Scots brothers with wraparound shades, birds-nest hairdos and an affinity for white-noise feedback, American girl groups and the Ramones made a debut album that still ranks among the wildest things I’ve ever heard. I saw them on an early US tour where the set barely lasted a half hour and guitarist William Reid (one of the two brothers) played in the dark with his back to the audience. “Contempt for everyone” might be a good descriptor of the band’s early stage and personal presence. Legendary. Rediscovered later (around the time they broke up for the first time) via the soundtrack to Sofia Coppola’s “Lost In Translation.”

When your new book is finally available for preorder ❤️

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
