Don Juan & The Wind / Eugene Rythem Connection - Don Juan's First 7" (Suppressed Records, 1979)

"Love Sweet Love" is good and all but I think the B-side is slightly more to my liking. The flip is called "Shun The Dead" and it is a short shotgun blast to the ears. The sleeve is super thin and the handwriting on the back of the sleeve is very nice. Proper.

Novak - RU21 7" EP (Dumb Records, 1977)

Great punk-y new wave. The track "RU21" is killer.

Here is Novak's "Oh Farrah!" featured on their 1st single...

Neuz - I'm Gonna Pop b/w Take It 7" 1980 (EAR, 1980)

US Powerpop from 1980. Pretty good two sider.

Neuz - "I'm Gonna Pop"


Neuz - "Take It"

Cloverbottom - Anarchy In Music City (Toolbox Records, 1980)

Good punk rock from Nashville, TN. More on this band can be found at Johnny Hollwood's blogspace here: Cloverbottom

Cloverbottom - "Anarchy In Music City"



Cloverbottom - "Cottage Cheeseheads"

Doug McDade and Purple People - I Wanna Do It (Purple, 1973)

Superb Wisconsin garage rock from '73. Flip is a rockasilly song. Produced by Alan Posniak and Purple People.

Mechanix - "Maxine/Desperate" 7" (Tempe Records, 1982)

This record used to be on the elusive side until a box of these were discovered, now there's (seemingly) plenty to go 'round. Cool powerpop from the arid land of Arizona. Never housed in a PS.

I'm glad I never dated any girl named Maxine otherwise, much like any song with an ex-girlfriend's name as the title, it would be ruined for me. Good summertime music just in time for the summertime!

Student Teachers - Channel 13/Christmas Weather 7" (Ork Records, 1979)

Five piece new wave band from New York. Great jangly guitars on this single. The band existed from 1978-80 and then, just like dust in the wind, they were gone. They also have a second single and a handful of tracks on a compilation that I can't quite think of...

Student Teachers - "Channel 13"





Student Teachers - "Easter 78 - Halloween 80" 7" EP (Not Quite Records, 1980)

Here is a track from their second self-released single. The bass sound on the song "Samantha" is incredibly pleasing to my refined and regal aural tastes. Now where did I leave my grey poupon?

Student Teachers - "Samantha"
