Zulu Records had their Xmas sale today. Everything was 25% off, so I traded in a bunch of shit (that'll probably make the Shmoo poll) and ended up with the re-ish of this:



The Pandoras Stop Pretending (1986)
RIYL: 60s garage psyche, the Standells, the Sonics, Farfisas, tough chicks, rock and/or roll

This is the band's finest hour. They were part of that '80s Paisley underground scene in L.A., but never seemed to get the attention they deserved. They were led by the ever-unstable Paula Pierce, who spent a great deal of a late '80s Vancouver show barfing behind the drum riser and sadly died of a brain aneurysm in '91. This is the Pandoras line-up that included Kim Shattuck (who would go on to form the Muffs). The CD re-ish includes 10 demos that never made it to the vinyl.

Here's "I Didn't Cry":



And from You Tube, doing "You Don't Satisfy" with the line-up just before Shattuck joined: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zxdMkHSeJE&mode=related&search=


Also picked up these:

Throneberry Sangria
Bend Sinister Through The Broken City
Ivor Cutler Jammy Smears
Frank Black Fast Man Raider Man

I like tough chicks and rock and roll, so I think I'll probably enjoy that album.

jesusgodlordinheavenabove.
never heard of them. indescribably delicious.
i want to date every single one of them.

chix with mullets always bring the rock

Me too.

waas anyone else very, very concerned about this thread title?

So Radcliffe now owns a record by this man?



I can't help but feel I'm responsible.

even now?

Great band...first heard 'em on a compilation that featured another fun chick band, the Screamin' Sirens. Chicks with mohawks and patsy Cline dresses was a hard combo to beat...

been curious about those cats for awhile. thanks for the dl.

I just thought that it would be a parody thread.

Ok, that should have scared me too. I mean, if alongwaltz could have cracked Radcliffe's password, he could have mine (or yours, or anyone's) already.
