I'm going to put any more tenners I do in this thread.

The Lilac Time, one of my favorite groups. Pastoral jangly folk pop with strong songwriting, headed up by Stephen Duffy.

RIYL: Go-Betweens, Kings Of Convenience, Paul Kelly, Prefab Sprout, Michael Penn, Aztec Camera, Dream Academy, The Essex Green, pastoral folk pop groups that don't rawk but are bit too intense thematically to be called wimpy or cheesy, who make melody sound effortless and lyrics sound like they've always been there waiting for you.

2. The Beauty In Your Body Paradise Circus 1989
3. An Ear For Silent Voices Astronauts 1991

cool..grabbing this one

Plasticland was one of the more memorable of the psychedelic/garage/paisley acts out of the 80's though their discography's not a snap to locate now. Lots of fun to listen to. They didn't belabor their songs. The whole tenner's just over 24 minutes. Unfortunately I don't have You Need A Fairy Godmother or Confetti so couldn't include anything from those.

week of October 26, 2008

Shove It

1. Nice Fox - The Rosebuds (Life Like)
2. Fire & Fast Bullets - Blitzen Trapper (Furr)
3. I Give You Two Seconds To Entertain Me - Northern Portrait (Napoleon Sweetheart)
4. Close Up - Lambchop (OH (ohio))

15. Staircase - Matmos (Supreme Balloon (LP Tracks))
16. Dumb Terminal - Simon Bookish (Everything/Everything)
17. Tired of Being PC - Pelle Carlberg (The Lilac Time)

Nice mix. My favorite tracks always rotate with this band. "Badge, Posters," what a fun tune. I always loved the guitar sound in the song "If I Had You" off that mini LP.

An Hour With The Dream Academy

1. Ballad In 4/4 Remembrance Days 1987
2. Johnny (New Light) The Dream Academy 1985
3. Here Remembrance Days 1987
4. Lowlands A Different Kind of Weather 1990
5. Mordechai Vanunu "Love" maxi-single 1991
6. In Places On The Run The Dream Academy 1985
7. Power To Believe Remembrance Days 1987
8. Gaby Says A Different Kind of Weather 1990
9. The Edge Of Forever The Dream Academy 1985
10. Girl In A Million (for Edie Sedgwick) "The Love Parade" b-side 1986
11. In Exile (For Rodrigo Rojas) Remembrance Days 1987
12. Not For Second Prize A Different Kind of Weather 1990
13. The Party The Dream Academy 1985

The Dream Academy were, like Timbuk 3 and Chumbawamba, cursed with THAT SONG; the song that played on and on and on and drowned out their careers, causing pop fans to think they were flash in the pan and indie fans to think they were too lightweight to bother with. The Dream Academy were exquisite, literate and memorable throughout their trio of albums, particularly the second one, yet were stamped "pussy band" anyway. This was a good group, a great one if you tend toward atmospheric britpop. Too pretty for some but certainly not lightweight. I didn't include better known singles like "Indian Summer," "The Love Parade," "Bound To Be," "Moving On," their versions of "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" and "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime," "Love," or, of course, "Life In A Northern Town" because I like the tracks above better.

i like it when you include the year of release

I'm not including the album titles anymore, so when there's no years listed it means the whole mix is new.

new, as in 'released in 2008?'
