February 11, 2015: Scavenged Luxury
Three hours of rare, out-of-print post-punk, art rock and power pop from the City of Angels, all DLed from the short-lived but high-impact LA-based music blog, Scavenged Luxury. If Maggie and Hopey had a radio show, this might be what it would sound like.

I see from Wikipedia that New Wave Theater was shown occasionally on Night Flight, which means I likely saw some segments here and there. Also shows that The Plugz appeared on NWT, which also pleases me. | |
♥
Wed. 2/11/15 7:38pm
listener james from westwood:
The NWT entry itself also adds more evidence to the already existing mountain of evidence that (a) Harold Ramis was a mensch and (b) Chevy Chase is an asshole. | |

chevy chase is indeed an asshole and a douche. | |

@hyde: It's very interesting. I'm noticing I'll need a few days to digest it, which is good. There's an Apichatpong Weerasethakul feel to it, which means it's on the right track of cinema for me. | |

Sashimi in the '60s in Chicago. Sushi in Colorado not as early...turns out the place didn't open till '82. I thought it was there by '78 or '79...but no. | |

i just looked into hilary,& i guess it's an ep i have? (i'm not home-can't check) but i should give it another chance,from a different perspective now. the description looks interesting;though fairly serious. i wasn't looking for that,in that,then. | |
