GAME THEORY - BLAZE OF GLORY (1982)

Game Theory's 1982 debut is about as D.I.Y. as it gets. Blaze of Glory was recorded in leader Scott Miller's old bedroom at his parents' house in Sacramento, CA, and you can just barely hear his mom running the vacuum cleaner downstairs at one point. Not able to afford printing costs for jackets once the records were pressed, the group simply slipped the discs into white plastic garbage bags with a Xeroxed sheet of paper. Despite the funky homemade feel of the album, Blaze of Glory is a clear signpost towards the hyperactively literate art pop of Game Theory's later albums. Yet although Blaze of Glory sounds far more dated than any of Game Theory's other records, it has a handful of early gems. The giddy and galloping "Date With an Angel" is one of Miller's sunniest sounding songs, and the jangly guitar-led arrangement predates the Paisley Underground-influenced sound of 1985's Real Nighttime. Even better, the wry collegiate angst of "Bad Year at UCLA" and the stark "It Gives Me Chills" are two of Miller's best early songs, and the jubilant "Sleeping Through Heaven" has remained a fan favorite. All 12 songs from Blaze of Glory ended up on the 1994 compilation Distortion of Glory (wWere they exactly the same mixes?). Re-recorded versions of "Bad Year at UCLA" (with the grammatical mistake in the first verse corrected) and "Sleeping Through Heaven" were released on 1990's Tinker to Evers to Chance. AMG

SCOTT MILLER (1960-2013)

I read the news today...sometimes we wish it wasn't true.

PPC has always supported Scott Miller's music, from the early days of Game Theory to the end of the Loud Family.

Loudfamily.com is sharing Game Theory's albums for free because the main goal is to prevent people from trying to capitalize by selling these long out of print albums for lots of money. They want everybody who would like to hear these albums to be able to do so without paying outrageous prices. Here

THE YUM YUMS - LOS CONCIERTOS DE RADIO 3 (2013)

On their 2013 spanish tour, promoting their brand new album "Play Good Music", The Yum Yums performed a 30 minutes live show on TV for the famous "Los Conciertos De Radio 3".

Special note: The show was aired Thursday April 11th on spanish TV, a spanish mate of mine recorded it in TS format, gave me the file (1gb), then I converted it in XviD PAL 720x576 (420mb). I also made an audio rip of the performance, adding a custom artwork for the PPC blog. So you can get either the audio part or the video part, or even both if you want...

My RS public traffic is limited to 100gb a day - so if you get the window 'link unavailable - traffic exhausted", don't worry, all you've got to do is be patient and try later

AUDIO: RS

VIDEO: RS

If you only want to give a look at the video, you can watch it on the Radio 3 website, linked below

THE RUTLES - HARD DAY'S RUT (1999)

One of the more interesting Rutles bootlegs, this one serves more as a grabbag of Neil Innes-related rarities. (Note that some tracks cut off prematurely - this is how they appeared on the disc, and apparently on the bootlegger's sources; notice how they added reverb to cover the sudden stops.)
