THIS HEAP

a big pile of music

U.S. Maple - Fireside Bowl 1997

Missouri Twist | Through With Six Six Six | Aplomado | Home It's O.K. And, yes, this is where Jagger got his moves from.

New Order - Video 5 8 6

20 minutes of "pap" to open The Haçienda in May 1982. Early parts of 586, Blue Monday, and other stuff they'd release the following year are in there.

Silver Jews - Trains Across The Sea

What a song. Sounded tossed off in 1994, and here 14 years later somehow anthemic.

[thisheap]

Siouxsie and The Banshees - Poppy Day

April 1979, recorded for John Peel’s show.

[thisheap]

The Staple Singers - Masters of War

1964 Chicago. Great Pops-led Dylan cover with haunting background vocals from the kids.

[thisheap]

Edan - Radio Show No. 4

2 more hours of Edan spinning and talking.  He puts these out maybe once a year, so enjoy.

Eastlink - What a Silly Day (Australia Day)

2014 Melbourne.  Al and Zephyr from Total Control plus others - 4 guitars and a drummer = sweet droney repetition.  More Australian perfection.

Spectrum - How You Satisfy Me

1992, first single for Sonic’s post-Spacemen 3 band. Kinda sorta a cover of Evie Sands’ “I Can’t Let Go” (written by Chip Taylor, who also wrote Spiritualized’s first post-S3 single).

2008 Orlando.  Miami weirdos were the best, ended too soon.

[thisheap]

The Lafayettes - Life's Too Short
