new release on Slumberland Records
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
back in high school 1990-1995 there was no internet, no myspace, no pitchfork. we had NME (courtesy of the local public library), Select Magazine (courtesy of the bookstore at the mall), Rodney on the Rock, MARS 103.1 (first time I heard Field Mice was on MARS) and catalogs from labels like Creation, 4AD, Merge, K, Sarah, and Slumberland. So many great bands on Slumerland, I miss them all.
Rocketship, The Ropers, Lilys, Velocity Girl, Stereolab, and now The Pains of Being Pure At Heart (SLR 89, released February 2009).
I also miss watching Are You Being Served and Eastenders on Friday nights (courtesy of KOCE), but we’ll save that for another post. Or not.
