Zoinks! - Bad Move Space Cadet (1995)

Zoinks! was punk rock band from Reno Nevada which formed in 92/93 and played until 98....originally a three piece these guys play hundreds of shows is Reno and released a few 7 inches on Satans Pimp before signing to Dr Strange Records....this album is their first full length....this is 36 minutes of classic pop punk....and i mean good pop punk not watered down bullshit....being a little punk rocker in Reno during this time...these guys were in many ways my heros....and i saw them as often as i could...which was often!....i must have played this record smooth.....every track on this is classic....songs about love life and a healthy obsession with Uma Thurman....just expect good fun punk rock with no agenda....turn it up and let the good times roll

the sample in between songs are telephone call between the owner of a club called "The Fall Out Shelter" and a guy named Pete (who put on almost every show at the time) and Pete's zine called Enema...hiliarious

Boyd Rice Presents: Music For Pussycats (2002)

Of all the people you would not expect to put together a happy and wonderful compilation of 60s girl pop would be Boyd Rice...but as he points out in the liner notes "this is the soundtrack of my life"...and what a soundtrack it is

This is the soundtrack of the hypnotic power of the siren.....these ladies will enthrall you and leave you begging for more....every track here is a fine example of 60s pop music...from the flirty playfulness of Please Don't Talk Top The Lifeguard by Diane Ray to the disturbing reality of the times with The Warrior by Honey Ltd and swinging right back into the groovy psychedelic sounds of The Love Exchange and their amazing song Swallow The Sun....

This is a great listen and a groovy testament to the times and the lovely ladies who graced it.
