The Cars burst onto the scene in 1978 with their self-titled debut album, “The Cars.” This album is truly amazing, the band could have broken up or retired after their release of this album and it would still be a candidate for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I am straying away from my “Top 10” format for this album because I truly believe that this album is pretty dang close to perfect. The album casually begins with one of the most well-known songs of the classic rock era, “Good Times Roll” and doesn’t relent with back-to-back classics until the ninth and final song. My favorite song is “Bye Bye Love,” which combines every aspect I want in this genre. The Cars embody the new wave genre incredibly well, and “Bye Bye Love” is full of synthesizer riffs that almost sound “space-agey” and fit the song so well. “My Best Friend’s Girl” is probably the best-known song from this album and is the second “most popular” song on the album according to Amazon Music. This track tells the story of somebody whose ex-girlfriend is now dating his best friend (as is kind of implied by the title of the song). To me, this song seems to be slightly inspired by 1960s-era pop songs. Probably the least-known song on the album is “I’m In Touch With Your World,” this song is honestly pretty weird, but it is still really good. Although, I can’t put my finger on the exact reason why the tempo and beat of this tune seem off. The vocals are also sung in a manner that is slightly jarring, although it is again hard to explain exactly why. The song that is the “most popular” according to Amazon Music metrics is “Just What I Needed.” This is widely known across the music community as one of the staples of class rock. I think “Just What I Needed” is one of the definite highlights of the new wave era of music. Between dizzying synth noises to a pretty solid guitar solo, this song is infinitely repeatable. From top to bottom, “The Cars” delivered some of the best music of its time, the band continued to make great music, but none of the songs really stand out to me in the way that this album does (except for “Drive,” which is one of the best songs of all time without a doubt in my mind). As a whole, this album delivers some of the best that music has had to offer over the past 50 years of songs that we have easy access to. I think “The Cars” as a band deserve more recognition than they get; while they aren’t the flashiest or most high-flying band out there, they deliver really fun songs.....~ Credits Drums, Percussion, Electronic Drums [Syndrums], Backing Vocals – David Robinson Keyboards, Percussion, Saxophone, Backing Vocals – Greg Hawkes Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals – Elliot Easton Vocals, Bass – Benjamin Orr Vocals, Rhythm Guitar – Ric Ocasek Tracklist

Blondie "Parallel Lines"1978 US New Wave (100 Great New Wave Albums) (Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time)

The most perfect example of Blondie's grafting of sixties power pop with new wave, Parallel Lines was one of the biggest hits of 1978/9. Supremely assured, the group was unafraid to go disco, go art, or just play fine, fine pop. After years in the business, Debbie Harry was street-wise, confident, completely in control. Thousands of teenagers were enraptured – boys wanted to be with her, girls wanted to be her. With her musical partner Chris Stein, they created intelligent pop that referenced all of their 60s favourites, while embracing the CBGBs punk scene in New York that the group had grown out of. Working with British bubblegum producer, Mike Chapman, they selected material which played to the group's strengths. Chapman had co-written glam classics such as “Blockbuster” by Sweet and “Tiger Feet” by Mud, so was well-trained in spotting a great pop tune when he heard one. And hear them he did, with Stein and Harry dipping into a catalogue of songs, with contributions from the rest of the band and songwriter Jack Lee, who contributed the unforgettable opener, “Hanging On The Telephone.” To underline Blondie’s art background, Robert Fripp was also on hand, contributing guitar to the brooding “Fade Away and Radiate.” But no-one cared much for the art when the pop was this flamboyant. Containing the No.1s “Sunday Girl” and disco-pastiche turned disco-classic “Heart Of Glass” as well as “Picture This” and “Hanging On The Telephone”, Parallel Lines, with its iconic cover imagery, was a permanent fixture in Britain in the late 70s. It went to No. 1 in the chart on 17th February and remained there for four weeks, staying on the listings for 106 weeks in total....BBC review...~

Hilly Michaels "Calling All Girls" 1980 US Power Pop,New Wave (Sparks)

Unless you are a big time music aficionado, the name Hilly Michaels probably doesn't mean much to you. This is a shame, because Hilly had a really interesting, slightly crazy career that includes 2 good hyper-bubblegum albums and a ton of jobs as a session drummer. Hilly (given name: Michael Hillman) started drumming in the late 1960s with Michael Bolton and went on to work with Sparks, Dan Hartman ("Instant Replay"), Ellen Foley and Ian Hunter ("All of the Good Ones Are Taken"), among others. In 1980 he released his first solo album, Calling All Girls. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker (famous for his work with The Cars and Queen), Calling All Girls is critically acclaimed for its uptempo new wave popiness. The album is filled with well-crafted pop songs and features appearances by Liza Minnelli (really), Elton John, Greg Hawkes (Cars) and G.E. Smith (SNL). The "Calling All Girls" video was an early classic on MTV and it is not hard to see why. In addition to the catchy pop song, the vibrant animation really distinguishes this video from other of the era. In fact, "Calling All Girls" was the 93rd song ever played on MTV (the first day), and it remained an early favorite of the channel for some time. In spite of the strong material, the album did not connect with listeners and Hilly's second album, 1981's Lumia did not fare any better. Hilly remained active for years as a session drummer, before leaving the industry to live in the Caribbean and then Florida for a number of years. He still performs one a somewhat unpredictable basis to the present day. Cool trivia fact: Hilly's manager was Jake Hooker. That name doesn't ring a bell? Well, Hooker was the guitarist of the Arrows, famous for writing and recording the original version of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," later made famous by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. [The link will magically transport you to the March 2012 ERV blog post featuring the original and the cover.]....~ Part of the New-York 70's music scene, he first came to my ears as a solo artist on the Big Sound Records' Phil Spector tribute "Bionic Gold" released in 1977 (an excellent cover of the Dr Winston O'Boogie's "Instant Karma"). New York session drummer Michaels — who first came to light backing Connecticut auteur Roger C. Reale in the late ‘70s — had already played on records by Ian Hunter, Sparks (Big Beat 1976), Bram Tchaikovsky and Ellen Foley by the time he stepped forward as a singing, songwriting solo artist. Although commercially fruitless, the two albums he made at the dawn of the ‘80s are giddily over-produced new wave-era pop that have more hooks than a mile of barbed wire. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, The Cars, Ian Hunter...), Calling All Girls is the better of the two, with such giddily infectious tunes as “Shake It and Dance,” “U.S. Male” the more than Sparks sounding "Something on your Mind" and the title track. For this frenetic confection, Michaels gets assists from an eclectic collection of Foley, Liza Minnelli, former bandmate G.E. Smith, former Beckies guitarist Jimmy McAllister (real name Mayo James McAllister playing on the Sparks Big Beat 1976 tour), Elton John guitarist Davey Johnstone, Greg Hawkes of the Cars, Dan Hartman and others. Also of interest is the participation of legendary Alan J. Merrill (Vodka Collins, Arrows) and author of the smash hit "I Love Rock 'n' Roll on the second Hilly Michaels album. A stunning record and a long lost gem.....~ Still blazing hot following his stints alongside Ellen Foley and Hunter-Ronson, Hilly Michaels completed his transition from session drummer to solo superstar with the release of Calling All Girls, one of the signature hits of the early '80s, and one of the defining elements in the gestating new wave blueprint. Comparable to a superior revision of the Cars ' finest moments, "Calling All Girls" was notable, too, for a video that simply devoured the fledgling MTV, and the accompanying album proved that it's idiosyncratic brilliance was no fluke. With producer Roy Thomas Baker at the top of his game, and Michaels accompanied by an all-star line up of friends and admirers (Liza Minelli, Lorna Luft, Ellen Foley, G.E. Smith, Davey Johnstone, and Dan Hartman all appear), Calling All Girls delivered a non-stop diet of quirk, quizzicality, and often deliriously over-the-top pop drama, with the signature hit single just one of more highlights than many period artists shoehorned into their entire careers. That no further major hits spun off the disc is one of those mysteries that will never be solved, but the producers of Caddyshack saw the joy of "Something on Your Mind," and fresh listens to the whole thing retrieve new delights every time.....by Dave Thompson.....~ A wonderful dose of new wave power pop from this former Sparks drummer. "Calling All Girls" and "Turn Me on Your Radio" are both pure pop marvels with hooks and dynamics executed so perfectly your brain starts popping off endorphins at first listen. "Something on Your Mind" is the most Sparks-sounding track and oddly one of my least favorites. But all in all this is a very strong collection that, for me, came out of left field....BlastThePop....~ Credits Backing Vocals – Ellen Bernfeld, Ellen Foley, Joey Mauri*, Karla de Vito*, Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft, Patrick Linfer-Lau Bass, Guitar, Keyboards, Backing Vocals, Autoharp – Dan Hartman Guitar – Davey Johnstone, G.E.

Spitballs ‎ "Spitballs" 1978 US New Wave Power Pop (feat Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers)

The Spitballs were a "one time" large band composed of Beserkley artists & members of Earthquake, The Greg Kihn Band, Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers, The Rubinoos & The Tyla Gang that got together in 1978 to record this project, mostly old, classic rock & roll tunes (most unavailable elsewhere!)....~ Not a band but a wonderful novelty album made at the height of the Beserkley label's prominence and activity, Spitballs employed everyone then on the roster — the Modern Lovers, Greg Kihn Band, Earthquake, the Rubinoos and Sean Tyla — in various permutations on 15 rollicking cover versions of songs from the '60s. The album is a joyous celebration of the participants' fandom and roots, a thoroughly entertaining collection of great tunes re-created with affection and élan. The repertoire includes "The Batman Theme," "Chapel of Love," "Boris the Spider" and "Bad Moon Rising." It matters little who's playing or singing what, as the Spitballs are playing only favorites. Except for its incidental responsibility for the welter of tribute albums that have followed, Spitballs scores a direct hit. Trouser Press There was certainly a precedent for label mates to sing on each others records at Beserkley; for instance, Jonathan Richman sang on Greg Kihn's "All the Right Reasons." Still, the idea of the entire label roster combining under one "band name" to make this record is kind of unique and part of what makes this record fun. Consisting of mostly covers, these aren't slavish copies so much as a bunch of players who got together to jam and have fun playing some of the songs they grew up playing.....~ Credits

Tirez Tirez ‎"Rush and Dissonance"1979 US very rare Private  New Wave, Synth Punk

Tirez Tirez was an American rock band led by composer/performer Mikel Rouse, the band's only constant member. The group was active from 1978 through 1988, and had a new wave/art rock sensibility that was strongly influenced by minimalism.

History 

Founding and early years (1978-83) Tirez Tirez was founded by Missouri native Mikel Rouse, and gave its first performance as the opening act for the rock band Talking Heads at a 1978 concert in Kansas City, Missouri. The band's initial line-up was Rouse (vocals/guitar), Rob Shepperson (drums) and Jeff Burk (bass). Tirez Tirez issued two very rare self-released LPs in their earliest days: No Double Bagging Necessary (1978) and Rush & Dissonance (1979). All three members of the group subsequently moved to New York City in 1979, and self-released their debut single ("Scattered"/"Scenery") in November of that year. The band's third album (1980's Etudes) was recorded in New York City, but it did not initially see a US release, and was at first only picked up for distribution by the tiny British independent label Object Music. The LP went on to sell a very respectable 2,000 copies in the UK, and US indie Aura Records later issued in the album in the US in late 1981. Aura also issued "Razorblades", a single taken from the album. Bassist Burk left Tirez Tirez in 1982, and was replaced by James Bergman. Philip Johnston (keyboards/woodwinds) was also added to the group at about the same time. This line-up (Rouse/Shepperson/Bergman/Johnston) recorded 1983's Story Of The Year, which was released only in Europe via Belgian label Les Disques Du Crépuscule. Although he had left Tirez Tirez, original band member Burk would continue to contribute finished artwork to future Tirez Tirez album and single releases after his 1982 departure; the same would be true of original drummer Shepperson after his departure in early 1984. Creation of Broken Consort (1984-85) In 1984, Rouse would begin recording more minimalist work with his instrumental "chamber orchestra" Broken Consort. From this point forward, Tirez Tirez and Broken Consort often featured identical memberships, although each group had a distinctly different repertoire. For the first album credited to "Mikel Rouse Broken Consort" (1984's Jade Tiger) the band line up of Rouse/Shepperson/Bergman/Johnston was exactly the same as that of Tirez Tirez's Story Of The Year. In 1984, Tirez Tirez released the Europe-only non-LP 12" single "Under The Door" / "Sleep". The only credited musicians on this release were Rouse (guitars/keyboards/synthesizers/percussion/vocals) and, on the A-side only, Blaine L. Reininger (violin/bass programming). In 1985, bassist Bergman re-joined the fold in time for the Broken Consort LP A Walk In The Woods. The same year, the Rouse/Bergman duo (augmented by saxophonist Ellery Eskelin) also recorded the Broken Consort album A Lincoln Portrait, although it was not released until 1988. Major label releases and break-up (1986-93) In 1986, Tirez Tirez (now officially a duo of Rouse and Bergman) issued the non-LP 12" "Set The Timer" / "Uptight" on Sire Records. This was their first US release in five years, and their first release to receive major label distribution. Shortly after the release of "Set The Timer", the group found a permanent US home with the IRS label. For their fifth album (1987's Social Responsibility), the band was still a duo of Rouse and Bergman, with Rouse performing all instruments except bass. The band expanded to a quintet for a subsequent tour, and for their final studio release, 1988's Against All Flags, Tirez Tirez's line-up consisted of Rouse (vocals/guitar), Bergman (bass), and new members Bill Tesar (drums), Rave Tesar (keyboards) and Mark Lampariello (guitar). According to Mikel Rouse's web site, one further Tirez Tirez album was recorded after 1988, but it was never released. Rouse slowly phased out Tirez Tirez over the next few years, while continuing to work with many of the same musicians; in addition to Rouse, the 1993 line-up of his Broken Consort ensemble consisted of Tirez Tirez players James Bergman (bass), Bill Tesar (drums), and Mark Lampariello (guitar), along with non-Tirez member Dale Kleps (woodwinds). Tirez Tirez was still listed as a going concern in the liner notes to the 1993 Broken Consort release Soul Menu, but both groups wound down shortly thereafter. Rouse continues to live in New York City, and since 1994 has performed and recorded as a solo artist....Wiki...~ Credits

The Eyes "New Gods: Aardvark Thru Zymurgy" 1977  - Todd Tamanend Clark ‎ "New Gods: Aardvark Thru Zymurgy" 2013 reissue US Psych Rock,Experimental,Post Punk,Art Rock,New Wave

Native American Indian ... singer, songwriter, musician, composer, author and poet .. In 1975, he began recording music under the pseudonym The Stars .. then formed the group The Eyes .. in which he became famous by releasing in 1977 album "New Gods: Aardvark Through Zymurgy" .. then took up solo activities...~

"Future events project their shade back from the past. Todd Tamanend Clark relelased this record in 1977, in the middle of the punk explosion, totally against the stream. Clark, who had indian blood, released a record where not only talent, but an overwhelming personality, collapse into an interdimensional event. This lp contains the sounds that would have recorded an hypothetical band starring Jack Kirby, Jim Starlin and Jim Steranko if they were fans of the Stooges, first synthesizer sounds, Pere Ubu, MC5, Syd Barret, el Molongui y Sun Ra. But you better read what the supreme druid, ....~

"Todd Tamanend Clark was born on August 10, 1952 in Greensboro, Pennsylvania, and is of Onodowaga-Lenape descent. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Slippery Rock University and a Master of Arts in Professional Growth from Indiana University. He is the author of four books of poetry including the forthcoming "Dark Thunder" and is also a long-time civil rights activist with the American Indian Movement and various other indigenous organizations. Clark is an accomplished avant-garde composer whose first recording was released in 1975. He is a versatile multi-instrumentalist who plays synthesizer, sampler, theremin, vocoder, electric guitar, native flute, ocarina, and both electronic and acoustic percussion, as well as vocalizing in a deep and expressive Morrisonian baritone. His six children participate in many of his projects. The album "Staff, Mask, Rattle" is a twenty-four song cycle based on the Native American history of the northeastern woodlands of Turtle Island. These compositions combine to form a two and a half hour concept album of all instrumental electronic soundscapes that uncannily portray each of their intended topics. The opening cut "Primal Origins" is a dissonant ambient noisescape using sixteen tracks of overdubbed guitar to approximate the creation of the material universe. "Roots Of The World Tree" is an electronic drum solo symbolizing the creation of the Earth itself. "Sky Woman" tells the legend of how the first human came to the Earth by falling through a hole in the Sky World. The bass lines are composed using atonal numerical serial progressions. Lyric Winona Clark plays electric piano. "Continental Carapace" uses various slowed-down sequences to convey the story of the Great Turtle rising from the depths of the world ocean to swim up under Sky Woman and support her while enlarging and transmogrifying itself into the North American continent. "The Duality Twins" are the offspring of Sky Woman, who was already pregnant when she arrived on Earth. The positive twin transverses Turtle Island creating helpful megalandscaping while the negative twin follows behind him and twists everything into aggravating grotesqueries. "Meadowcroft Rock Shelter" (in what is now Washington County, Pennsylvania) is one of the oldest known human habitations in North America. On this track, Clark solos first on a round clay turtle ocarina and then on a long clay snake ocarina over a bed of multiple primitive percussion instruments built by Lyric Winona Clark in order to portray a probable sound of the music of prehistoric cave Indians. "Grave Creek Mound" (in what is now Moundsville, West Virginia) is a huge over two thousand year old burial site constructed by hand by the Adena mound building culture. Gregory Carr (from the band River Rock) guests on bass guitar. "Monongahela Villages" sonically recreates the daily village life of the Monongahela people of pre-contact Pennsylvania. Chuck Moses guests on guitar. "Lenape Turtle Clan" is a tribute to the turtle totem of the aboriginal human beings from what is now Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. Gary "Cornsmoke" LaCorte guests on the Native American flute. (Four of his solo albums are also available from CD Baby.) "Houses Of The Haudenosaunee" is a complex orchestral piece that conveys the architectural grandeur of the large seven-to-ten family homes constructed by the Iroquois. The piece is dominated by Clarks huge power chords on guitar, as well as his dramatic tympani fills, and X Tecumseh Clarks stunning electric wah harpsichord playing. "Onodowaga Wolf Clan" is a tribute to the wolf totem of the people of the great flint in what is now upstate New York. Cornsmoke is again on flute. "Tadodaho The Sorcerer" was initially a legendary fearsome occult cannibal with snakes for hair, but he eventually reformed under the guidance of The Peacemaker. This song is one of the most frightening pieces ever recorded and would work well in a film soundtrack. "Peace And Power" combines a richly relaxing tempo with robustly potent accents to end disc one. "Solar Eclipse" opens disc two with a Doors-Hendrix type psychedelic rock song that recreates the ominous feeling of the eclipse of the sun that occurred on August 31, 1142. "The League Of Native Nations" honors the oldest continuously practicing democracy on Earth. Sachem Orenda Clark plays an excellent slide guitar solo. "Guardians Of The Western Door" sounds somewhat akin to Pere Ubu doing mutant disco by way of Skinny Puppy, but all in a tribal context. "Kit-Tan-Nee" (now known as Kittanning) was the largest indigenous settlement in Pennsylvania west of the Allegheny Mountains until it was destroyed by the colonial invaders in 1757. This song features Neolin Chaska Clark on drums, rattles, sleigh bells, and theremin. "The Conspiracy Of Pontiac" describes the resistance movement organized by the great Sac-Fox leader from what is now Michigan. It is highlighted by Clarks wild analog synthesizer leads and Chuck Moses commanding martial guitar playing. "Allegheny Plus Monongahela Equals Ohio" is a multi-layered composition for woodwinds and synthesizer that recreates a peaceful nature sojurn on the three sacred rivers that meet at Pittsburgh. "Simon Girtys Decision" sonically describes the tormenting of natives by the military garrison stationed at Fort Pitt that drove Girty to spend the rest of his life fighting on the side of the American Indians. It is one of seven songs on the album on which Clark plays all the instruments himself and is also the closest thing to a commercial radio friendly single on the album. (That is if you happen to listen to a radio station from another dimension.) "The Warrior Trail" begins at Greensboro, Pennsylvania, and winds for forty-five miles across Greene County and on through the West Virginia panhandle, providing an overland short-cut between the Monongahela and Ohio Rivers. Musically, this song consists of a throbbing tribal beat overlayed with Clarks multitracked avant-garde guitar leads. "Tecumseh And Tenskwatawa" were the Shawnee brothers who led a later resistance movement that almost stopped the United States at seventeen colonies. Shaman Manitou Clark plays clever metallic percussion instruments throughout, and X Tecumseh Clark plays a Philip Glass type arpeggiated gothic organ solo towards the end. "Resistance-Survival-Rebirth" is the sociological cycle that many native nations have had to endure under the American Holocaust. This piece sounds like Jimi Hendrix meets Frank Zappa meets King Crimson. Adam Hawkins (from the band Next Stop Earth) plays a hellacious impossible stunt guitar solo on the final section. The concluding number "Sagoyewathas Legacy" expresses the message of the great Onodowaga orator who preached that it was fine to use new technology as long as it was in the service of enhancing ones internalized indigenous culture. It is another all Clark tour de force incorporating wah guitar, whammy guitar, lead synthesizer, bass synthesizer, theremin, and electronic drums." ....~
