I am happy as a clam since I found this band. Like early B-52's with a twist all their own. And the reggae backbone of the Police thrown in. One of the songs reminded me of English Beat. Not to mention early Fashion. Love it love it love it.

So OTM.
Pioneers and Janitor are good too.

This rules. Between this and Gleaming Spires and the Units reissue and that lo-fi live Devo record, FUTURISMO is killing it as a label this year

Haven't listened to them in ages. Thanks for pointing out these reissues

Ok so now that we found what happened to Jonathan Demme discovery Q Lazarus, let's find Su!

The Gidget video directed by Jonathan Demme. I had never seen it before tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66edboZWeqg

The other day leaving the gym I spotted a young woman in a t-shirt that I thought was the Scooby Doo logo:

Except on closer inspection it said Su Tissue Where Are You!

I now want that shirt in the worst way possible, but googling is turning up nothing.

There was facebook group called Whatever Happened To Su Tissue (or similar) that the founder eventually deleted when it became clear she didn't want to be found, and therefore seemed increasingly stalker-ish.

Wow, this is good stuff. It reminds me of a time when "nervy" was a word used in record reviews.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 19 October 2023 19:22 (six months ago) link
But also I want to say that suburban lawns, the actual entities, get an unfair bad rap when they're a tiny slice of the water crisis compared with farmers growing alfalfa for cattle.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 19 October 2023 19:23 (six months ago) link
I would give a band called Alfalfa Farmers a try but I bet they'd be bad.
Friends of mine had a band called Alfafa Males for a while.
