My new YouTube video "The Beauty Of A First Album Listen" is OUT NOW!

In this video I talk about some interesting first listens to albums from artists like: The Cure, Underscores, The Smiths, Matt Proxy, Lucy Bedroque, Quadeca etc.

It would mean if you would go and check it out, thanks : )

And I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
🎶

Anyone have any recommendations? Particularly ones that are very long? I’m just looking for background noise to put on while working.

Recently discovered this band Pleasures Pale from Dayton OH that are the most Smiths sounding band from America.

They were active 85-87 before they broke up. Some major labels were interested in them. Had a good following in Cincinnati along with Guided by Voices.

The lead singer tracked down the original tapes they recorded at a studio in Dayton and remastered them for release. Highly recommend checking out their albums.
