"Haven't heard those other Kaleidoscope cats - do you have any?"

I've got Dive Into Yesterday - highly recommended

There's also a 2CD set about of everything they recorded as Fairfield Parlour, including the unreleased White Faced Lady LP, but I haven't got that one.... yet....

"I've mentioned the Vels before, so maybe you heard about them from me."

I've got that Vels cd/record (Velocity) on my list of cds/records to get if I find it. It must have been from your recommendation.

I've mentioned Harmony Rockets. Under the loudest gigs you've ever heard therad. And Main/Loop have had their fair share of discussion as well...

Shawn Phillips
Orchestra Luna

Dan Regan--I mentioned Celebrity Skin once on a thread about bands with potential.

Here's something about Rita Mitsoukos:

Rita Mitsouko CoD (anyone heard of them?)

And then there's the White Spider:

Aimee Mann, S+D
Do you care about Aimee Mann's record label woes?
Sympathizing with Aimee Mann's boyfriend in the "Voices Carry" video - C or D?

I can't believe I've never mentioned Sue Saad and the Next, I'm pathetic!

― chaki (chaki), Saturday, 23 November 2002 21:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

one month passes...

Buddy Curtess And The Grasshoppers.

They had four lead singers, looked and sounded like a cross between Showaddywaddy and The Blues Brothers and I bloody loved 'em.

C'mon, there must be SOMEONE else who remembers them? Dr. C? Anyone? Help me out here, please!

I still haven't seen a Garnet Mimms thread

Recent discovery of the ILM search facility leads me to the conclusion that Martin Skidmore is a fine man. More mentions of Garnet Mimms and Charlie Rich than any other poster.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 10 January 2003 20:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

Still lodged in my brain from a brief period of intense interest in obscure synthpop:

- Data (80s group masterminded by George Kajanus)

- Cosmicity (recommended to OMD fans)
- Color Theory (recommended to fans of ... um ... fluffy kittens?)
- B!Machine
and a bunch of other, admittedly less consistent, new artists on the A Different Drum label or sold through its website (www.adifferentdrum.com)

On the EBM/Industrial side of things, Daniel Myers' various bands (Haujobb, Clean, ...); fans of glitchy, minimalist techno along the lines of Farben will find A LOT to like in Haujobb's ninetynine

Does that make ten?
