    Nuggets/Pebbles/BackFromTheGrave etc tunes that are nothing like Beatles

    New thread to avoid cluttering up another one. But I often hear it said that all the Nuggets tunes are kinda like second rate Beatles/Stones tunes and... maybe it's true as far as the original Nuggets comp goes, but I see that compilation as really something that is important for giving the idea...

    Silly-but-good-electro-pop one hit wonder singles

    Northern soul (to pick one example) was not a genre of music at the time the tunes that make it up were created, it is a name applied retrospectively by journalists or DJs who wanted a collective name for the type of songs that they listened to together and played at parties and which they...

    Death In Vegas

    I'm bravely starting a very un-dissensus thread here, but sometimes you just have to stick your head above the parapet and charge foolishly towards the enemy's guns. Many years ago, I suppose when I was at university, I really liked this band. Quite an odd band with hindsight, cos now I can...

    Googie (and related style and design)

    An architecture style that fascinates me. Perhaps because, as far as I know, examples outside of the US are few and far between (off the top of my head can't think of one such building in the UK). And, again as far as I know, there haven't been any revivals or neo-googie or anything like that...

    Sunglasses

    It feels as though summer (or if not actual summer something that will do quite nicely until summer comes along) has suddenly arrived in Portugal. A week ago there were moments during the night and early morning that were actually cold and for which one would require a coat if outside - but this...

    Drvg Cvltvre - what's good? Is there a sort of scene

    A while back now (few years even) I was flicking through some of my records and I found this one that I didn't recognise but which was quite a nice tune. I couldn't remember buying it and there was no artist info on the sleeve or on the record itself. It does say the label in the middle but...

Tomorrow we're...

    Ignoring Popular Cultural

    (I wrote this post in response to something someone said in another thread but I realised it was too much of a digression for that thread and so I deleted that post and wrote it here cos I do want to discuss this issue) What thing that interests me is the degree to which music that you hear in...

    Invisible Sounds at Salon des Amateurs, Dusseldorf 2nd April ALL NIGHT LONG

    Invisible Sounds Lizatron and (probably) Idle Rich (as long as my emergency travel document clears in time) take over Salon des Amateurs once again. It's from about 10pm until about 5am these days I think though if it's anything like it used to be then we will probably push it a bit later than...

    Invisible Sounds on Threads Radio with guest Lena Willikens 1500 April 24th (ie NOW!)

    This month our Threads show is going out early at 1500 UK/Portugal time, it's an extract from when Lena Willikens came to play for us.

    Motorik

    Inspired by @Benny B and his krautrock thread I thought I would do a motorik one.... there is something I absolutely love about that sound that can be rocking or hypnotic... always the same and always different if you like. Some of mine off the top of my head... some are maybe a bit tenuous but...

    Sound-Identicals

    Sometimes someone takes a tune and records their own version of it and releases it... a cover. Similar but different is when someone takes the good bit of someone else's tune and puts it in their own tune - ie sampling. But what do you call it when someone gets someone else's tune and releases...
