Yr August Pop Music Tape!

02/08/06

The Singleman Affair—Let’s Kill The Summer - We’ve been listening to the Singleman Affair for quite some time now.  And we love it.  A home recording that cost the price of a limo ride for a member of Oasis and produced a lo-fi classic.  And we love it.  To get your own pre-order your own copy please click here. for £8.99.  It’s released on the 7th of August.

Supreme Vagabond Craftsman - Check out My Rifle Range - The prog-punk revolution starts now with Check Out My Rifle Rang - a brilliant Super Furry Animals ditty as recorded by the Tesco’s version of Phil Spector.  Genius. To order your own copy please click here.

Tobias Froberg - Somewhere in the City - A slice of pre-Paul Simon pop.  Out on the 7th of August.  To pre-order your copy please click here.

Godsy - Whatever We Want Records - Our favourite psychedelic DJ may be releasing his compilation Cherrystones Word on the 31st of October, but there is a darker heart to the beast with his two EPs that he is releasing on Whatever We Want records.  Check them out.  Where to get them?  God only kn ows.

The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo - Its 2 CDs.  Recently reissued.  Buy this now.

Beach Boys - God Only Knows - The theme song for Big Love and the Beach Boys best song.  Its been tuned into Poptones Pop Conscience.

Comets on Fire - America’s prime-evil rock’n’roll band returns to the pop landscape with Avatar.  And we have to say yes, yes, we do love it.

Heldon 6 - Gareth will kill me for letting this one out of the bag.  Why?  Because this is like a 70s version of Wolf Eyes.  Plus it has a rad Alien in a racing helmet cover.

Tony McPhee - Taking Sides - Another Cherrystones find—which I picked up on Ebay.  Its the Groundhogs guitarist (Cherry Red is a guitar classic)—one side is full of blues and the second side is full of psychotic fucked up blues.  Genius.

World of Twist - Tony Ogden was Britain’s unsung psychedelic pop hero—when Poptones learnt of his recent death—we knew that Britain had lost a true hero.

Country Soul - Its CSNY with a breakbeat.  Genius.
