Velocity Girl - Merry Christmas, I Love You

I always liked Velocity Girl and have recently re-discovered them. I originally bought all their Sub Pop records when they were released but never bought this until recently.

Seam - Look Back In Anger

The B side is one of the favorites in my collection. A very early Merge Records release

Speedies - Let Me Take Your Foto

Yikes...had this one in the pended file for awhile. Searched for this for years until I came accross a copy last fall. Classic!

Game Theory- We Love You Carol and Allison

I have to admit I have been somewhat obsessed the last month with all things Scott Miller since I learned of his death. I have been playing his releases non stop. I'm conflicted by the fact that few in this great big world are aware of the utter brilliance of Game Theory/Loud Family, and choose instead to be focused on the Justin Beiber's of the world. I have this vision when I close my eyes that in a perfect world there would be a documentary that gives the world a glimpse of this man. Just listen to the shear beauty of this classic. I bought Lolita Nation brand spankin new when it was released and could not wait to put the vinyl on the turntable. I remember how blown away when I first heard this song. 26 years later it has the same power.

Loud Family - Just Gone

I was on lunch one day last week and listening to a Game Theory song on my Kindle.  I had this thought of doing an internet search for Scott Miller to see what he was up to and if he had anything new. Sadly, I learned he died last April 2013. I will admit my mood was low the rest of the day. I loved his music and he answered a question I had once on his blog. He will be missed. This post is from a fantastic release- Interbabe Concern.

The Chills - Doledrums

Here is a fantastic 45 from the Chills. I managed to score a copy of their new triple Live LP....love the video for this song

Girl Trouble - When Opposites Attract

Yes I have sadly neglected this blog. I am setting a goal of at least 2 posts per month. I thought I would get a little Retro with this Girl Trouble 45...always loved them...Check out the hilarious reissue youtube video...of course I have 2 copies on Sub Pop...1st pressing black and latter pressing yellow color vinyl...oh, did I forget to mention I have a test pressing of the LP as well!
