THE SOUNDTRIPPER - COMPILATION VOLUME XVII



[audio:http://thesoundtripper.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Blade-of-Grass.mp3|titles=Blade of Grass]

Lightning At Your Door
by R.C. Avellanosa


A mix of recently posted records. Some were just released recently. Guided By Voices' "Keep It In Motion" and Pollard's "Science Magazine" are the freshest treat. This is clearly compiled as my present playlist. At least it is this time, the compilation I am playing at the moment. Starts with The Drums' "Money" from Portamento followed by New Order's Bernard Albrecht and his side band "Bad Lieutenant". The Ocean Blue's "Mercury" will lift your hearts up. From the Radio One Evening Sessions, The Railway Children's anthemic "In The Meantime" is a different version. The fifth track is from the obscure "The Dentists" with Apple Beast reminds me of The Stone Roses,, such a surprise. Lee Ranaldo's 2012 release "Between The Times And The Tides" produced the radio-friendly single "Off The Wall". Dinosaur Jr.'s Take A Run At The Sun will brighten up your day. Another underrated band composed of Filipino-American artists from New York "Versus" is simply awesome. The volume is leaving you with the stellar Sonic Youth with "Stalker". It's worth at least a week of airplay. This is F*#king A!

THE DRUMS - PORTAMENTO

Broke Like Me
by R.C. Avellanosa


I read somewhere that this band sounds like The Smiths. The truth is I just heard them two years ago so I have no way of describing their music wholly. I just find them sounding raw but complete. They're from UK but moved to Brooklyn, New York. So expect that accent. It is Indie Pop at the very core. Imagine Post Punk Pop in a Post Punk Pop world. A Post Punk Revival.


And so if you are still longing for that nostalgic sound, The Drums is what it is. Guitars, keys and drums sounded as they are. Portamento felt like a breeze of cool air on a very hot day. And as you play along, that cool breeze just keeps blowing hard.
