Lovely bit of loungecore here. Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass, Monday Monday.

Another lovely Herb Alpert tune and a cracking video to boot.

A critically destroyed album at the time which contributed to the author’s drink and drug abuse which killed him at 47.

Then afterwards critics said that it was a brilliant album all along. Which I think too.

Gene Clark - No Other

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Just Like Honey

I think My Bloody Valentine may have been ever so slightly influenced by them.

One of my all-time favourite live performances!

Arthur Lee – what a dude.

That was a far better album than given credit for. Suffered from being released the same week some British blonde died in a car crash, only one record was bought for the next few weeks in Britain and this one sank like a stone.

Kylie left the indie scene behind and pulled on some hotpants a few years later. The rest is history.
