Leftovers

(Some songs that for whatever reason won't turn up on any CD-R compilation of mine but are still pretty damn good.)



I've been very much enjoying the highly innovative, wildy energetic and slightly bonkers noise-rockers cum performance artists Afrirampo from Osaka ever since I saw them live last summer. Here's a track from their self-titled mini-album on Gyuune Cassette; sadly out of print but I found one at not too high a price on eBay recently, about which I'm very pleased because I think maybe it's their best.

A friend of mine recommended I buy the 1979 Akron Ohio compilation (on Stiff) we stumbled over in a Rotterdam 2nd hand store recently, and I did. Which was a mistake really, because the insert was missing, the vinyl wasn't coloured and the scratch 'n' sniff thingy on the cover was gone... but that's probably just me being a sad record collector type. More importantly though, much of the record was a bit crap, or dated at best. However not these two tracks; one by Jane Aire & The Belvederes whom I'd heard of but knew very little about, and one by The Waitresses who later joined the Ze stable and were always great. Cool stuff!

More to come probably.
