Blackball Bandits have previously released two demos that I had argued were too good to be called demos. They had a decent reason though: they were incomplete, with parts overdubbed or drum machines used. Well now they're a full band and have rerecorded their songs onto this EP.

Even if most of their songs feature vocals, you can pretty reliably hear a reverbed out surf twang underneath the Dustaphonics. Well, they went ahead and made things easy for us instro nuts and slapped together a compilation of all their instro cuts. Though I'm not too well-versed in their discography, I don't believe any of these are new cuts.
Really excited for today's show. Got a whole bunch of new-to-me 45s and since I saw Kraftwerk on Friday, no less than five covers of "The Model". Plus some new stuff from Wrecks House, THe Necronautics and Dustaphonics!
I had a sub last week, so no playlist this week
For nearly 20 years Stereophonic Space Sound Unlimited have been putting out records that are rock solid and sound like nobody else. This is #7 and while this is no exception to that rule, it is slightly different. The space age sound is toned down a bit, and in its place I hear a bit more of an Italian soundtrack vibe and often a lot more electronic, often in a bedroomy nostalgic way.
This week I kinda forgot I was out of town for labor day, so I had a sub. I also didn't post last week's playlist, which happened to be my birthday -- so a greatest hits show of sorts!
