Burmese Crackling Stereo Pop
I have no idea what she's singing. It's in Burmese, after all. But, I FEEL it so deeply. The pain mixed with hope. The despair mixed with romantic longing. That this is not the reality that we needed to live in. If things had just been tweaked a little bit. Consciousness raised just a slight bit more. We'd be all living in the paradise that she is missing. That she thought we'd all be living in when she was just a kid. A place where the good guys win. And the bad guys get what's coming to them.
So raise a glass with me. Cue up the stereo. And sing with us for the world that should have been. The world that we all dreamed was possible. When we were kids. When we knew better what was important. And what was not.
A-side: Great, great rec, Bayside. Just phenomenal. Hard to imagine any romantic sap not falling instantly in love with Naang Naang and their songs for the broken and battered hearted. [First added to this chart: 10/21/2020]

The Mother(fucking) Lode
Well, well, well. Don’t I feel like the world's biggest idiot. How the blazes… no, strike that, … how the FUCK have I missed the existence of this record. This band. It’s like Dream FUCKING Syndicate for Christ's sake. Just FOUR years earlier. FOUR! Take punk, Television, country, The Buzzcocks, The Rolling Stones at their seediest, and Radio Birdman. Mix 'em all up and you're just starting to to get the idea. But don't get the wrong idea either. This ain't no mixed frilly drink for the Sex and The City set. The Only Ones serve their rock n' roll damnation up neat. No cloying mixers. No fruity aftertaste. If you want straight-up American underground music in the vein of The Dream Syndicate, early Violent Femmes and The Gun Club (and overlook the fact that these motherfuckers were British), well, this is your fucking drink. Thanks for the round, Skinny!
A-side: Thanks, Skinny! Killer rec. Love this album to death and it gets my highest recommendation. Put simply, this is a CLASSIC indie rock album that stands with the giants in the field (e.g. Velvet Underground, Television, Dream Syndicate, The Gun Club) and somehow I’m just a dumbass for just discovering this now. You! Standing there with your iPhone in one hand and your wiener in the other. Don't be a dumbass! Get on this shit NOW! You've been served by The Skinny Man [First added to this chart: 10/22/2020]
