I might buy this at a garage sale in twenty years.

If they weren't picture discs I'd be very interested in grabbing it much sooner

Bush Tetras - They Live in My Head — Wharf Cat Records

Bush Tetras have made punk music at the fringes for over four decades. Flashes of reggae, bursts of noise, guitars that rattle, shake and snake, born out of a gutter behind CBGBs. Over the years they have respawned time and time again, contorting their sound, tweaking the vision, remaining singular

www.wharfcatrecords.com

“…Their first album in 11 years, They Live in My Head was produced by Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth, who is now the band's drummer, joining them after founding member Dee Pop passed away in 2021. Also joining the band on bass for their current & upcoming performances is Cait "Rocky" O'Riordan, formerly of The Pogues.”

FWIW, Red includes 7” and is limited to 50 #ed

Floating Into The Night

Julee Cruise’s 1989 album Floating Into the Night is a hauntingly beautiful, critically ac-claimed work that showcases her unique vocal style and the atmospheric, dreamlike music of composer Angelo Badalamenti. The album was produced by Badalamenti and David Lynch, who had previously worked...

I was gonna make a joke earlier today about @Twentytwo being in cahoots with Sundazed and LITA assisting them in just making shit up.

Traindodge - The Alley Parade

After two decades of timeless records, Oklahoma City’s Traindodge continues their post-hardcore dynasty with the release of their eighth LP, The Alley Parade, on Spartan Records. Yet, while the band’s collection of canonized albums have become required listening for every budding heavy band...

I knew they signed up with Spartan Records! They tried to hide it but I figured it out.

I'm so excited about this. Traindodge are an Oklahoma band that have been doing Post-Hardcore since the 90's. Best comparisons would be Boys Life, Managra, Fugazi, Giant's Chair, Evergreen, Boilermaker, and Braid.

I’ve heard of a lot of it but nothing that I need to buy that’s for sure. I just post them, I’ll endorse it if I’m buying it.

Most of LITA and Sundazed pressings are absolutely shit I’ve never heard of but specifically in LITA’s case they seem to sell a whole lot of it.

My first LitA purchase was in 2010, but I’ve since given up on them. Great brand, great catalog and distribution titles, but the vinyl is consistently garbage.

Hmmm, most of my LITA releases were pressed at RTI and sound pretty good. Nancy Sinatra, Lou Reed, Grateful Dead, Link Wray, Piper, and Hiroshi Yoshimura, none sound like garbage.

Most of mine are older releases and have a bunch of surface noise. Digable Planets - Blowout Comb (2013) and TL Barrett - Like a Ship (2010) sound ok. But Wheedle’s Groove (2004) and from 2010 Gainsbour/Birkin; Szabo - Jazz Raga; Sullivan - UFO; Purdie - Lialeh; Birkin - Di Doo Dah are noise festivals.

The exception is Hiroshi Yoshimura - Green, which has a bit of noise but mostly sounds great.

Also, their distribution titles are a different beast altogether. Alexander - Sunshine Man; Nelson - Skull Session; and Japanese Jazz Spectacle Vol 1 are all great.

I wonder if they heard the complaints about older releases or maybe I just buy some of the bigger titles and they take extra effort to get them pressed correctly.

In my experience, the Pacific Breeze compilations of Japanese city pop/boogie have questionable QC. Side one of the first volume has an entire rotation of whooshing (went through three copies, gave up), and some of the other sides across the series have clicks/pops for a handful of rotations. The third volume is the best overall on the QC end, but still dodgy.

Ultimately, it has driven me to find individual albums in the genre that are featured on the compilations. Or better yet, taking a chance on a few that are fairly affordable in the genre primarily on the strength of the cover art alone.

LITA is a mixed bag for sure.

City Pop album art is fantastic!
