An MP3 of the Suburban Lawns' "Janitor":
http://www.peteykins.com/Audioblog/Janitor.mp3
Not the greatest recording but it's all I could find on the net. When I went to see that outdoor showing of "Repo Man" in LA, the DJ played this before the show began and it brought back a lot of memories of listening to Rodney Bingenheimer's old radio show on KROQ. My cousin Carrie couldn't keep herself from laughing every time they got to the chorus. What a beautiful little nugget of new wave goofiness.

Without doubt. I shambled onto them as my local record emporium had their last EP in stock. As it's one of those stores where their recommendations are almost always spot on I took a punt and wasn't disappointed. The album, however, is a far superior work. Some of the music is quite stunning. A couple of listens should cement its reputation as a fine, fine record.invisible Pole wrote:This has got to be one of the most talked-about bands in the last couple of months.

Annie, Let's Not Wait is as good a pop song as I've heard all year.

Re-recorded version of Franz F's Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On with cute animated video. Prefer the LP original, but this is a nice reworking all the same.

Just listened to this (trying to ignore the tastefully puerile video.. God if there's one thing worse than videos that have absolutely no connection to the video and play to some cheap teen appeal, it's videos that hew to the lyrics like a script for the sake of teen appeal) and realized how very nouveau-Kinks it is, you know? Couldn't you just hear Ray D. singing it?Otis Westinghouse wrote:http://www.dominorecordco.com/site/inde ... multimedia

It's very much a followup to Honeycomb (a lot of the same musicians etc.) but this one isn't as laid back. There's plenty of stuff that would suit the Pixies style of playing as well. I don't think there are any weak tracks, really, and if I could have chosen my favourites and made it a single disc it would have been his best, I think. Check out If Your Poison Gets You, Johnny Barleycorn, In The Time Of My Ruin, Fitzgerald, Don't Cry That Way or Raiderman.
Some guys from his forum has put this cool little introduction together:
