Moving Pictures - 1982 - Days Of Innocence

Australian pub rock and R&B-influenced "Moving Pictures" are best remembered for their power ballad "What About Me?," which shot the band to number one in Australia in 1982. Formed by singer Alex Smith and writer Gary Frost, they signed with Wheatley management in 1981 and released two singles, "Walls" and "Bustin Loose". Their debut album, Days of Innocence, was released in October 1981 (Australia), 1982 in Europe, but it wasn't until the release of the number one single "What About Me?" in January 1982 that Days of Innocence also topped the charts. "What About Me?" went on to win the Best Single Award at the 1982 Countdown Awards. (All music)

Personally, my favourite song is "Joni and the Romeo".

The group was comprised of Alex Smith (vocals/occasional guitar), Garry Frost (guitar/piano), Andrew Thompson (saxophone), Charlie Cole (keyboards/trumpet), Ian Lees (bass) and Paul Freeland (drums).

Tracks:

Nothing to Do / What About Me / Round Again / Bustin' Loose / Wings / The Angel and the Madman / Sweet Cherie / So Tired / Joni and the Romeo / Street Heart

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS !!!!!

GRACIAS ESPAÑA !!!
THANKS SPAIN !!!
YOU ARE THE BEST !!!

OE OE OE OE, OE, OE, OE OE OE OE, OE OE!!!!
Va por tí, Antonio, descansa en paz (RIP).

Spain turned the Euro 2008 final into a football fiesta on Sunday, playing a dazzling passing game as they deservedly swept away Germany with a 1-0 victory.

A brilliant 33rd-minute goal from striker Fernando Torres graced a magnificent final whose scoreline did not reflect the supremacy of the superb Spanish side.

The long overdue victory in a major tournament sent fans in Madrid and all over Spain pouring on to the streets where they prepared for night-long celebrations, waving red and yellow banners and singing "Viva España".

Germany, as everyone knew they would, fought hard in Vienna and occasionally threatened on the break but they could not match the silky skills and swift inter-passing of veteran coach Luis Aragones's team.

In the end, Spain had 13 shots on goal to Germany's four, and seven on target to Germany's one, statistics which better reflected the margin of the Iberian triumph.

Thousands of Spanish fans in the Ernst Happel stadium celebrated ecstatically as they watched Spanish captain and keeper Iker Casillas hold the European trophy aloft after receiving it from UEFA president Michel Platini.

Though long recognised as one of the great football nations and producing an endless series of gifted players, Spain's only previous major trophy was the European title in 1964. Their only final since was the European in 1984 when they lost to France.

MIDFIELD ARTISTS

But they proved to be the delight of the three-week tournament in Austria and Switzerland, their midfield artists Xavi, Andres Iniesta, David Silva and Cesc Fabregas producing sublime passing moves which had neutrals drooling with pleasure.

The contrast in the final was clear. The Germans played stereotypically solid football.The Spaniards played football of flair and fantasy.

But the difference was also Torres, a superb striker who had been mostly misfiring in the tournament until the final with just one goal and a barrowload of misses to his name.

His electric pace earned him his goal as he raced on to a great through ball from Xavi, touched it on and then sprinted round defender Philipp Lahm, stretching to dink the ball with his right foot past advancing German keeper Jens Lehmann and just inside the far post.

It was a great goal worthy of a great final and of a great tournament.
"This is the most important title after the World Cup. I am going to enjoy this, this victory is good for football," Torres said afterwards.

Germany, as Russia before them in the semi-final, were simply outclassed. Though injured captain Michael Ballack overcame a calf muscle injury to play, he was never able to exert his full influence on the match.

He was consoled afterwards with words of commiseration from German chancellor Angela Merkel as he picked up his loser's medal.

Spain's King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, seated nearby in the VIP stand, cheered their national team and were on their feet to celebrate Torres's goal.

After the match the entire Spanish squad danced a conga inside the stadium as they sang "Viva España".

DIY Teenage Kicks - UK Pop I (1976-79) (11993)

Punk helped restore a nervy, stripped-down sensibility to rock that was quickly filtered through a number of more pop-oriented bands that were labeled as new wave. Not surprisingly, many of these new wavers were holdovers from pub rock, whose unpretentious, anti-star attitude foreshadowed punk rock. These pub rockers were devoted to the three-minute pop single, but they also had a biting wit and kinetic energy that separated them from conventional pop/rock bands, and the best of this first wave of new wavers are collected on the dynamic D.I.Y.: Teenage Kicks: UK Pop (1976-79). Beginning with Nick Lowe's explosive "So It Goes," the collection runs through a series of classic singles from Eddie & the Hot Rods ("Do Anything You Wanna Do"), Wreckless Eric ("Whole Wide World"), the Motors ("Dancing the Night Away"), Tom Robinson Band ("2-4-6-8 Motorway"), Squeeze ("Take Me, I'm Yours"), the Only Ones ("Another Girl, Another Planet"), XTC ("This Is Pop?"), the Rezillos ("Top of the Pops"), and the Undertones ("Teenage Kicks"), throwing in a number of forgotten gems along the way. Although the collection doesn't feature Elvis Costello due to licensing restrictions, he isn't missed -- in fact, the collection plays better without him, since focusing on overlooked artists demonstrates what an amazing era new wave was for smart, catchy guitar pop. Few various-artist collections capture their subject as well, or as infectiously, as Teenage Kicks does. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

DIY-Starry Eyes UK Pop II (1978-79) (1993)

Picking up where Teenage Kicks left off, D.I.Y.: Starry Eyes: UK Pop II is even more pop-oriented than its predecessor, and that's taking the Buzzcocks' searing "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've?)" into consideration. Although it includes a handful of great singles from artists that were on Teenage Kicks (the Undertones' "Get Over You," XTC's "Life Begins at the Hop," Squeeze's "Up the Junction," the Revillos' "Where's the Boy for Me?"), plus Joe Jackson's familiar "Is She Really Going Out With Him?," Starry Eyes shines in rounding up terrific singles from under-appreciated artists like Bram Tchaikovsky ("Girl of My Dreams"), the Jags ("Back of My Hand [I've Got Your Number]"), the Records ("Starry Eyes"), the Searchers ("Hearts in Her Eyes"), and Purple Hearts ("Millions Like Us"). These are sparkling pop songs, with ringing guitars and immediate, catchy melodies. Very few of these songs were actual hits, but they are the cornerstone of British new wave and power pop, which has rarely sounded as energetic and vital as it does here. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Spear Of Destiny - 1988 - The Price You Pay

Courtesy of 'chang1112' this album unavailable in cd format (Thank you very much!).
Spear of Destiny is a British rock band, formed in 1983 by singer and songwriter Kirk Brandon and bassist Stan Stammers.
Brandon had previously been in The Pack, and from 1980 to 1982 in the post-punk Theatre of Hate with its album Westworld and single 'Do You Believe In The Westworld ?', which was a UK Top 40 single in 1982, whilst the album made the Top 20.
As had happened with Joy Division and New Order, the band were criticised for using the name Spear of Destiny, with its potential Nazi overtones. Any such links were fiercely denied, particularly since the band were politically left-leaning.
'The Price You Pay' was the fifth studio album released by Virgin Records in 1988.

Los Valendas - 2006 - Sugar Coated Lies

Valendas is a municipality in the district of Surselva in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland, but also is one of the best Indie bands of the spanish scene in the 90's.
This is the history of the album:
In 1996 "Los Valendas" disbanded, but in 1998 they think about possibility of returning to play together and new songs were written, all this work was gathered in a scale model of 16 subjects recorded in May of 1999 with the incorporation of Emili Gené to the keyboards. In October-November of 2000 they began to record the first songs with the intention to publish an EP that never will see the light.
In December of 2001, they began the recording of "Sugar Coated Lies" with the drummer Lluis Segura; in April of 2002 the albums was finished, or that seemed at least… They spend four years with the album in the drawer and Los Valendas lived in a state of semi-hibernation until March of 2006. Then, they began remixes, adjustments and re-recordings of some of the songs of the CD.
Today, courtesy of Xavier Escutia (he has sent me the cd), I can post it.
I've wanted to put it like it is. For that reason there are two ways to get the album. One, over 475 Mb, is a Nero image file of the album (5 parts) and one file with the complete artworks.
The second way is the rip of the cd in mp3 at 320 kb with the artworks also (over 180 Mb)
In your hand is the decision to how to download this great work.

The Shirts: Selftitled (1978) + Street Light Shine (1979)

The Shirts' heydays were in the late seventies. As an integral part of the raucous and classic CBGB's scene, they experimented from their own distinctive musical starting point. During their brush with big-time showbiz, they were managed by Hilly Kristal, who is still the club's owner in 2006.
When the Shirts were really coming into their own, hitting their long stride with hits from their first album in 1978, it was easy to cast them as just one of several CBGB's bands breaking through after paying their dues to that extraordinary downtown scene. Television, Blondie, Mink DeVille, the Ramones, the Talking Heads….the Shirts. All these breakthrough bands were different. But the Shirts were different again.
The Shirts were, and are, about Brooklyn, just as the Ramones were about Queens. They are about neighborhood, street-level family. Unlike the Ramones, they liked each other then and still do, and that social glue continues to be reflected in the quality of their music. It has sustained them through the crazy storms that come with making pop music and having success. Thanks to the family of blood and the family of the neighborhood, they never lost their bearings. Most of them are related: of the five men, three are cousins. Like the borough itself, they go way back. (Read More)

"Inner Sleeve", released in 1980, is still available to download from Power Pop Criminal$! Blog.

You can buy "Only The Dead Know Brooklyn", released in 2006, from cdbaby.

Cosecha Roja: Discography

Courtesy of 'Carlos Rego' the complete discography of this fine and forgotten Power Pop band from Orense (Spain).
Taken from the band's myspace site:
'''About Cosecha Roja:
It is difficult to sum up 13 years in so few lines. In Decem-
ber 1988 several people from different unsuccessful groups got together ( “Viernes y los Robinsons”, “Ultima Fila” and “Las Hierbas” ) with the intention that we would take things more seriously, or at least, a little more seriously. In the beginning we began to go round micro-companies, financing and promoting our songs. This was a total waste of time and money, as most of the media and companies in this country were totally indifferent to what we could offer. In 1993, after producing a couple of singles, our first LP, “Nuevos Caminos” came out. Two years later, our next record , “Vacaciones Permanentes¨ was only produced on cassette. We almost disappeared for a couple of years, as we spent our time playing our favourite songs under the name ¨Los Cachorros¨. We reappeared in 1997 with an EP that Santi Campos ("Malconsejo") helped us to produce. A year later our first CD, “Conducir Despacio” came out. When we finished recording “A Plena Sombra”, there was no company that published it. So, in the middle of 2000 we produced a home-made version that went absolutely nowhere. When we decided to take a rest at the beginning of 2000, we didn't know that it was going to be the end for us. However, we still have our songs, and the friends that we made on the way. That's worth a lot.''' (Translation by Alan Crisp)

The name of "Cosecha Roja" (in english "Red Harvest") is taken from the homonymous Dashiell Hammett novel.
