The Clean

A recent trip to Portland with various contributors to this fine Internets Web Log resulted in many new records, perfect hangovers and a new found love for that city. A group of us were browsing records at one of the many great shops there, when the clerk put on the newest comp by New Zealand's The Clean (link included above). Early 80s, late 70s dark twang pop with perfect squawky keys, twangy guitars, etc....Nearly every one of us in the store that day left with a copy of this record. I am obsessed with them. My wife is obsessed with them. I don't know how I've been so blind for so many years. But now I know.

Here's a video I found for a great song "Tally Ho." Hellz yes sir.

Girlschool...

....rock. Total low slung down and dirty rock n roll... like Motorhead, but played by birds. One of 'em went out with Lemmy and the rest look like they could knock yer fuck in...

I was at Holly Go Lightly show the other night and a Buddy told me about this clip.The great Magic Sam.He passed away quite young of a heart attack I think in 1969.This rocks.
