Digitizing those singles (8), Dexys Midnight Runners
+ In 1980, los corredores de medianoche en dexedrina, publicaron su tercer single. Ya antes habían tenido bastante éxito con Geno, su segundo single, un homenaje a un soulman británico.
* En la cara A, una maravilla llamada there, there my dear. Soul, básicamente. En pleno apogeo de la new wave y de los últimos colectazos del punk (original), estos vagabundos (sobre todo Kevin Rowland) que vestían los dungarees (pantalones vaqueros con peto, de los que usan los hillbillies en USA), revolucionaron la escena musical con su brillante soul, repleto de pitos y canciones bailables y cantables.
+ Todavía tendría que llegar luego su "searching for the young soul rebels" y su gran éxito (también en USA) Come on Eileen.
+ En la cara B de there, there my dear, un instrumental, The Horse, sacado de un oscuro soul grupo, Cliff Noble & Co.
+ By the way, special prize if you tell us about the cover of the single!. Montgomery Cliff, Robert de Niro,.....?
* I also found this cover of thunder road, that Rowland did in 1999, but that Bruce did not allow after listening to it!.

+ In 1978, The Bishops (in other ocassions they were The Count Bishops) released a raw, vital, energetic and vitaminic album, Live!.
+ They were one of the first groups in legendary label Chiswick Records, specialized in new wave at the end of the 70's.
+ The Bishops released a single with a wonderful Bo-Diddley-like song, I want Candy, in the A side. This song was original of The Strangeloves, american protopunks from the 60's. Here you have a glimpse of their genius.
+ See what was going on in London these days!.
+ The B side of The Bishops single was a cover, till the end of the day. From the big old father of many british youngsters, Ray Davies.
+ Maybe, somebody will like to play this i want Candy in their rock group. Please, sing with the real lyrics:
hey, hey, hey, hey
i know a girl who's tough but sweet, she's so fine she can't be beat
she's got everything that i desire, she sets the summer sun on fire
(chorus)
i want candy, i want candy, i want candy, i want candy

+ Copy from LastCall Records: Guitarist Chris Spedding was a mainstay of the British session scene in London during the 70s, playing with just about everyone from early fusion band Nucleus, Jack Bruce, Elton John, John Cale, Roy Harper, Dusty Springfield, Harry Nilsson & Bryan Ferry to The Bay City Rollers (anonymously!) the Wombles and the Sex Pistols. Spedding produced the demos which got the Sex Pistols their first record deal. In 1975 Spedding had a hit record in Europe called "Motorbikin".
+ Since 1979 Spedding has been living and working in the US, where he had a long asscociation with rockabilly singer Robert Gordon which continued into 1992. During the 80s Spedding continued to appear on records by Joan Armatrading, Laurie Anderson, Ton Waits, Nina Hagen and Paul McCartney.
+ Look here and be amazed at the list of people Chris has collaborated with.
+ He tours extensively in Europe with his own band and he was recently reunited with Phil Manzanera and Byran Ferry when he played second guitar on last year's (2002) Roxy Music world tour.
+ In 1978, one year before playing rockabilly guitar for Robert Gordon, I bought one of his singles, released from his album "Hurt".
* In the A side it had a version of Bo Diddley, road runner, el correcaminos. If you want to see the cover, go here and count 12 covers on the left. You'll see a picture of Chris kinda similar to George Harrison.
* In the b-side, Crissie Hynde made vocals, but the song was not big thing. It was lone rider.
+ For listening to some songs (in rm format) of Chris' album from 2001, one step ahead of the blues, please go here.
+ It looks that Chris Spedding will play Alicante in july.

The Nitemares, rockabilly from Madrid
+ The Nitemares son un cuarteto madrileño de 50’s Rock’n’Roll-Rockabilly. Enamorados de aquellos sonidos que cambiaron el mundo a mediados del siglo pasado se han entregado a ellos con pasión y pleno conocimiento de causa. Lo suyo no es purismo sin más, sus puertas siempre permanecen abiertas a cualquier otra influencia.
+ Su primer larga duración “Calandraca Boggie” (Sleazy Records, 2005) es un trabajo hecho con cariño, honestidad y sapiencia musical. Respira Gene Vincent y Johnny Burnette por los cuatro costados, pero los detalles, los arreglos, el sonido, las temáticas de sus canciones… pueden llevarte a recordar a Bo Diddley, Elvis, las guitarras de Cliff Gallup o Graddy Martin o las películas de Bogart.
+ El Boogie que da nombre al disco, el Rockabilly Bopper de ‘Betty Joan’ o el Bopper Latino de ‘Spanish Love’, el Rocking Blues de ‘Lonesome Traveller’, el Swing con reminiscencias mamberas de Pérez Prado en ‘It’s not true’, el Rockabilly a medio tiempo de ‘How could I know’, los instrumentales con toque de swing (‘Nitemares Shuffle’) o con aires de surf (‘Beware of the Fly’), inclasificables aflamencados como ‘Let’s Spend The Night Together’ o puro Gene Vincent & The Blue Caps, año 1956 en ese tema que abre llamado ‘Teenage Vamp’. Un disco hecho para la gente a la que le gusta la música.
+ The Nitemares están formados por Marcos Sendarrubias (voz y guitarra acústica, también cantante solista del grupo Doo Wop a capella Del Prince), Isaac González (guitarra), Jesús Sanz (contrabajo) y Mario García (batería).
* Please listen Calandraca Boogie.
* Or Spanish love.
* Loor y gloria al spanish rockabilly!.

+ Or not, go fast, go up fast!. Like the Stray Cats, who were a blast when they appeared in the 80s with their classic rock and roll eightified, rocking the town, rocking inside out.
+ So, in 1981, this single cost me a mere 100 pts, 0,60 euros!. Oh, boy!.
* Please, listen to rock this town. Original of Brian Setzer. He is rocking these days, today, but we did not know at that time.
* and to the wonderful version of Motown-Supremes, can't hurry love, on the b-side, impressive solo at the guitar!.

Blue Rodeo, roots rock meets pop
+ I know Blue Rodeo desde hace muchos años (oh, no, spanglish, no, please). I think that outskirts was the first album I bought from them. I remember listening to rose-coloured glasses over and over. It was their first album, as I learned later.
+ Canadians, as they are, probably never gained the status they deserve in the american market. But, we know of these cases. Their music is so fascinating and at the same time so difficult to catalog, precisely because they play a lot of styles. Country-rock was probably one of those labels. But, at least for rose-coloured glasses pop also applies.
+ If yoy visit their web page, you will find a lot of info on their songs, written by Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, the duo that writes most of the songs (if not all of them). This is not usual, most of the artists do not take care of their web pages. Among other interesting things, you have the possibility to label their songs, pop, country, rock, ballad, jazz, folk...
+ If you do not know, they just released a new album, are you ready, which starts with a perfect pop song, can't help wondering why.
+ I am sorry I could not find mp3 from the guys, but I did find wmf, a lot of them in fact, which in case you do not know Blue Rodeo will give you enough info about them.
+ Please listen to:
* Rose-coloured glasses.
* Til I am myself again.
* Walk like you don't mind.
* It could happen to you.
+ Maybe you need the lyrics to best follow the music. They're here.

+ Heroes: formed by Chris Bradford voc, guitar - Pete Lennon lead guitar - Mark Hankins guitar,voc - Brian Wallis bass - Dave Powell drums. Small hit in 1979: some kind of women.
* Heroes - some kind of women (a side): Pop-punk at the beginning of the eighties.
* Heroes -10% will do (b side): power pop ballad (all I want to do, is to get a piece of you, 10% will do, oooooooohhh).
+ Heroes were based in Devon, exactly 6 miles from Ilfracombe. Chris Badford composed these two songs and played them with a group called Randy, a pub group. They also published a LP "Border Raiders", produced by Pip Williams.

+ Hoy empiezo una nueva aventura. He tenido que mover incluso la CPU para que me llegara el cable. Tengo 3 cajas repletas de singles (de las de 5 paquetes de folios, je, je) y quiero escucharlos. Al mismo tiempo, los digitalizaré. Sí, los grabaré en el disco duro. Y os los pondré para que disfrutéis un poquito.
+ El otro día puse una canción de una chica (Rachael Gordon) que me recordó a Lesley Jayne, el primer single que he grabado. Rocking with my radio. Qué canción más pop. Poppie, para ser más exacto.
+ No sé nada de ella, de Lesley Jane, sólo que esta maravilla de canción fue éxito en el UK y en Francia ( y un poquito en España, los fans del principio de Radio 3 la recordarán).
+ La portada del single realmente no le hacía ningún bien. Mira esto y luego mira la portada de este otro LP y verás que es bien guapa!.
+ Curioso que un single que me costó 100 pts (0,60 €) valga ahora 4 libras.
* Escucha Rocking with my radio - Lesley Jayne.

Mola, guay, ok
+ Ya sabes que este blog siente debilidad por el pop furioso, combativo, amable, divertido de The Mockers. Su versión de la original de los Nikis, no tanto por versionear a uno de nuestros pioneros de los 80, sino por poner al día la letra y contarnos en clave de rock las terribles decisiones de 2 de los hombres más poderosos del mundo y de un profesor de la universidad de georgetown (pobres alumnos!), sustentan esa pasión por los mockers!.

* Solo un apunte rápido antes de que cambiemos el frío y duro USA por vuestras costas soleadas… bueno, siempre excepto el último invierno…
* Por fin tenemos un video cojonudo para nuestro último single “Mola, Guay, Ok” y puedes bajártelo gratis (en alta o baja calidad) en nuestra página web.
* Y, hablando de nuestra página, también tenemos estupendo foro recién estrenado esperando que lo llenéis con vuestros brillantes comentarios.
* Pero eso no es todo, señoras y señores, también hemos añadido un fotolog “especial Mockers”! Un lugar donde cualquier socio del site, podrá no solo comentar las fotos (como en el otro fistro de fotolog), sino además subir las suyas propias! Fotos de bandas, de vuestro gato, de vuestra madre, desnudos frontales, lo que queráis! Creemos que es una idea muy chula, y no he visto nada ni remotamente parecido por la red. Compruébalo aquí:

+ As you know, this blog deals with music from yesterday and from today, that is from always. Fortunately enough, we now have very interesting ways to discover new music, more important, music of the type/s you like most.
+ Some years ago, you were in radio's hands. You could only listen to what they previously select. Now, if you read this blog, you know you can listen to the songs I post, but you can also go directly to the site and do the research for yourself.
+ So, today I bring you a selection of very nice songs, mainly pop songs. Pop in the sense of melody, tight voices, crisp guitars... you know what I mean, right?. These songs are from cnet.
* Paul is dead - news for you: Curious name, do you remember when rumour had it that if you would play the last seconds of the b side of the abbey road lp, or whatever song it was, you could hear John Lennon saying Paul is dead?. No?, ok, go here and read. Lee la historia de Paul is dead aquí.
* The Queue - Blue sky. This is a great tune, it could have been in the white album!.
* Outrageous Cherry - Why don't we talk about something else. Impressive song,
* Playtone - Sleep on sunday. This is something we all like to do, unless you are well accompanied, of course!. Scottish guys, good place to perform pop music, eh?
* Playtone - I love you but you can't act.
* Becca Schack - Rescue me. Little bit electronic, dark and cold pop.
* Johnny Maverick Moore - Broken wing. Post-folk.

+ So, today I bring you a selection of very nice songs, mainly pop songs. Pop in the sense of melody, tight voices, crisp guitars... you know what I mean, right?. These songs are from cnet.
* Paul is dead - news for you: Curious name, do you remember when rumour had it that if you would play the last seconds of the b side of the abbey road lp, or whatever song it was, you could hear John Lennon saying Paul is dead?. No?, ok, go here and read. Lee la historia de Paul is dead aquí.
* The Queue - Blue sky. This is a great tune, it could have been in the white album!.
* Outrageous Cherry - Why don't we talk about something else. Impressive song,
* Playtone - Sleep on sunday. This is something we all like to do, unless you are well accompanied, of course!. Scottish guys, good place to perform pop music, eh?
* Playtone - I love you but you can't act.
* Becca Schack - Rescue me. Little bit electronic, dark and cold pop.
* Johnny Maverick Moore - Broken wing. Post-folk.

The Coyote Problem
+ In some places like Phoenix (Arizona) they have a coyote problem. Which is maybe because they don't have wolves. Pedro y el lobo was an original of Prokofiev, who probably dedicated it to Joseph Stalin as the wolf.
+ In other places, like in sunny California, they converted it to The Coyote Problem, a wonderful new group, playing roots music, americana, alt-country, whatever, really all those terms are necessary?. Whatever, they deserve our appreciation. They also have a strong rock foundation. 5 complete mp3s for your consideration. You'll see that we have a coyote problem down here too.
* Goin' to Vegas.
* It's easy.
* You're never alone.
* To keep me from you.
* Black tar heroin.
