The Next Big Thing

PLAYLIST. Here's another rundown on what's doin' the rounds on NBT's (Dutch) HQ's hi-fi: The new Blues Explosion LP is still on heavy rotation as is the Hives' latest, a disc that seems to get little to no kudos from the hipster crowd but is A-OK in my book. Been raving enough about the Reigning Sound's Too Much Guitar, but being handed a CDR of the scrapped 3rd LP that holds sufficiently less guitar but similar songs I once again have to bow down to the sheer genius at work here. Let's hope this will become available for one 'n all someday soon. Does anyone out there remember the Godfathers?. Their I Want Everything 45 fell from the shelves recently and thus instigated a spin on my trusty Thorens which in turn lead me to pulling out the excellent Hit By Hit comp and the Sid Presley Experience's Hup,2,3,4. If, god forbid, you are connected to some P2P kinda deal like Soulseek our whatever, try to locate the demo by the Germans, a post-Godfathers outfit that was also home to Rat Scabies. Their War Machine is a fine original, but what completely knocked me out was their take on Kraftwerk's Autobahn. Too bad this band came to nothing. Jumpin' back a couple o' decades, I'm also, as always, groovin' to vintage R&B; current faves include Champion Jack Dupree's Red Robin recordings, Tiny Bradshaw on King (he's the guy that wrote Train Kept A Rollin'!) and the rather obscure Carter Brothers who recorded for Jewel in the 60s (all of these spun off old Charly comps). 70s p-rock this go round comes from White Boy and the Alan Milman Sect, both recent bargain-bin finds that have me overjoyed w/ their wild-ass sounds and potential monetary value!. Also; American Ruse, Bad Moon Rising, Crystal Ball and Rock Pusher by the more obvious offenders.
So there you have it, please keep me posted on your flips 'n digs...
