Pick of the Week: Digging on that Starter track hard! So silly, but so catchy!!! Below is some German Tele footage of Starter. I can't tell whether the female synth player is focusing intensely or if she is just completely disinterested in the performance. The lead singer makes up for it though. Incredible.

Pick of the Week:  Poor Girls!!! 

Quoting HK - 'fuck fuck, yeah!' One of my favorite records at KDVS. Very little information is available online about this band. Did find one blogpost though at the Vinyl Obscurity Blog. If you have any info on this band, post leave a comment. I am very interested in getting in contact with the original members...

Jeff and Jane Hudson reissue now out. Was a little concerned the whole record would sound like their World Trade record. That record's beats get incredibly repetitive when listening all the way through. And not repetitive in a good way (like heavy driving beats), rather in an irritating way. The songs taken alone though can be rather enjoyable if in the right mood.

This Double Lp reissue includes the World Trade tracks plus much much more. So far I find the other songs featured rather stellar; Los Alamos is a definite YES! Check it out at the Dark Entries/Captured Tracks sites.

Also picked up the new Minimal Wave Hidden Tapes compilation. Alright so far. The Robert Lawrence + Mark Phillips track is amazing. Nothing else on it has stood out as much yet....further listening needed.

Pick of the Week: Draw between Jeff and Jane Hudson's "Los Alamos" and Robert Lawrence + Mark Phillips' "Computer Bank"
