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!

The Bats - Free All The Monsters

A return is in order. I graduate with my Masters next week so my life will no longer revolve around papers, although I will still have studying for licensure in my near future. But let's celebrate with the title cut from the latest Bats lp. I have been a huge fan of the Bats since they released "Daddy's Highway". I am excited they are playing the states and will be in Chapel Hill in June. I see a roadtrip in my future

Sorry this blog is on hold. Graduate school and the rigors of life, work, family life, and my other blog have forced me to put his on hold. I plan to do more next year once I graduate
