josef k - heaven sent 12" 1987

after watching the "audio" only video of this magnificent scottish post-punk band on youtube, i came to realise that i gotta have me a copy of this freaking amazing single. and for the luck of my life there it was waiting for me just wanting to be bought and shipped(got me a perr-tty good deal at musicstack). speaking of shipping i wouldn't suggest buying or selling records right now, the weather is too hot and it will be such a loss to have a record damaged because of the heat.
anyway i am just very surprised that i have not known this band earlier, but you see the no. 1 love of my life is the early nineties indie scene and coincidentally this do sounds like it.

josef k - heaven sent

the essence - only for you(dance mix)

yeah, that's right it's a remix dance version of that great postpunk tune. something we've never heard before and much thanx to steve lima for the great effort and making it all possible. i say right on! it's not a bad mix in fact it sounds very  very good. so hear the bonus and play it loud!

the essence - only for you(fiesta mix)

the wedding - tomorrow i set sail 7" 1985

here's a band that people often can't talk about without mentioning u2 in the same sentence, for some reason their music was correlated to u2's musical genius maybe it's the egde's guitar riffs. but i don't see it that way, they would've been a perfect fit for the twelve o'clock production. haunting vocal with the essence's-like instruments... this one will surely lighten up, or should i say darken up your post punk collection.

tomorrow i set sail...

josef k - sorry for laughing 7" 1981

nice post punk tune from edinburgh's very own josef k. like it's scarcity this single often hard to come by and mostly costly in online shops. not much to say about their greatness as most of you already know how much this band really impact the post punk realm and its entirety.

the popular front - falling out 12" 1987

this next post is another product of the legendary midnight music label (the essence, sad lovers and giants, the corn dollies, etc.) the song's got a pretty good vibe to it although the band wouldn't probably liked to be labeled as a dance group this single surely will move your head while your index finger taps. it's a four song ep that includes two mixes and two good b-sides.

the march violets - deep 7" 1985

my favorite single from the band, i have been looking for someone to post a 7" version of the song in a long time and to my dismay i have no success. you would find a lot of 'the march violets' deep 12" single posted on blogs but not this 7" version. so for someone looking for a shorter version of the song like i had before. this one's for you.

the climb - touch me(heaven) 7'' 1982

this is an excellent ep from the band who only made two eps in existence. very hard to find 7'', this one particular record i bought off an aucion on ebay from the uk! i just feel lucky to have a copy of my own! it's gloomy and it's dreamy it's post-punk-underground!!

p.s. this band was also known as "the thrashing doves" when they call it quits shortly after releasing this single, i think! pls. feel free to add some information if you know more about this band!!

and also the trees - the house of the heart cd5 1988

one of my most precious possessions, a favorite song of mine. i just like the haunting vocal, the melody will take you into another world. an artsy, atmospheric instrumentation. they were very much influenced by the ideology of the burgeoning post-punk movement. they've actually toured with the 'cure' and became friends with bob and in fact lol tolhurst produced their 1st album simply called 'and also the trees'. thanx to my good friend gothic evil boy. if it wasn't for him i wouldn't have known this song.

swans - love will tear us apart 12'' 1988

ahh, the great 'joy division' song yet another cover version. this time, it's no-nonsense i don't know how many times this song's been covered. it's so many it deserved to be on the billboard top ten.... i don't think ian, god bless his soul would like that. now, would he?! besides i will not post it here if it's mainstream or top 40. this is a great cover. and another scarce 12'' record!

random single of the month

this time we pay tribute to a great eightes band. i think they were from leeds, england. a really good single that is fairly hard to find nowadays. i got my copy a while back in l.a., the now vanished 'eastside records'. so hear it is:

friends of the family - rotten to the core,

happy new year y'all!!
