TOMMY KEENE
Songs From The Film
1986 Europe pressing
One of the all-time great #powerpop songwriters of all time, and yet, criminally underrated.
I love and miss Tommy so much. Dude was an incredible songwriter, and based on the handful of times I was around him, one hell of a nice dude.
This album has Tommy’s signature song on it, the opener “Places That Are Gone”, a shimmering, jangly gem of a song. The version here is a bigger, shiner, more punchy and produced version than the one that appeared on his 1984 E.P., also titled Places That Are Gone.
Lots of other riches on this album besides that great tune.
Gold Town, Paper Words And Lies, As Life Goes By, and My Mother Looked Like Marilyn Monroe… all stellar songs from an expert musical craftsman.
It was rough day for me when Tommy died. Just a wonderful dude to know, and whose music supplied me with so much joy over the years.

Space Jaguar - Every Room is an Escape Room
"'Every Room Is An Escape Room' both broadens and refines the jangly power pop of the trio’s debut, If You Play Expect To Pay, stripping the sound back to its basic elements while introducing some fuzzed out alt-country, heartbroken indie folk and a cover of one of the best songs of the 90s."

#TheChevelles, bandaza australiana asociada al #PowerPop y el #GarageRock, han estado estos días por la península en una gira-celebración por sus 35 años de carrera.
Como puede verse, siguen en plena forma (musical, y de la otra).
