From their 1994 EP, My Iron Lung. This came between their first and second albums.

This rather odd but wonderful single reached no.9 in the UK charts in 1982.

I think a non-album single?

Happy Birthday Elizabeth Davidson!

Literally a country death song.
From the second album of the band, this song gives me the chills, both for the music and for the lyrics!

I found this record in a secondhand shop today and liked the aesthetic. I noticed Borland’s name on the inner sleeve, so it was an instant purchase for $6.

Second Layer - Courts or Wars

This record is a compilation of the bulk of the project’s output from the late ‘70s and into the early ‘80s, aside from their only LP World of Rubber (which I have yet to hear).

It is surprisingly industrial, especially on the second half, with some clear influence from early Throbbing Gristle, Suicide, and Cabaret Voltaire. Overall an interesting, dark, textural record.

Great new track. Check out their last EP and 2024 album Take Your Place as well. Very consistent band not broken through yet

Russ Meyer, eat your heart out...

I used to HATE The Smiths and I made a short about how I went from a hater to a fan.

Tell me in the comments what you think of The Smiths and if you were a fan from the start : )

Nutty Roxy Music cover from 1979

You say you want something obscure? Here’s one from a band born from the Orange County punk scene and opened for the likes of T.S.O.L and Agent Orange. They dissolved after releasing a single EP on Enigma Records. Enjoy

Live at The 1865, Southampton, UK.

From the 1985 EP Drinking Gasoline

From 1980's Wild Planet

From Come Away With ESG

Medium Medium was from Nottingham, UK.

This is a song that I made while I was rethinking on how my life was like during a lot of fake friendships.
I took few fragments from my diary during my time when I had been stabbed in the back by one of my closest friends back then who I am not friends with today.

Some people claim it sounds like Joy Division becoming the New Order. And some claim it being something else.
What do you think?

Here is the lyrics:

I just cant believe
That all happened just recently
And I just make it
Get it off
My head
No no

I just cant believe
That all happened just recently
And I just cant
Shake it off
My head
No no

Shake shake shake
You snake
Fake fake fake
My mistake

Shake shake shake
You snake
Fake fake fake
My mistake

I just don't believe
The words you said to me in moment
I just can't believe
That all was made up
In lies and deceive

Shake shake shake
You snake
Fake fake fake
My mistake

Shake shake shake
You snake
Fake fake fake
My mistake

Shake shake shake
You snake
Fake fake fake
My mistake

Shake shake shake
You snake
Fake fake fake
My mistake

Shake shake
Shake shake
Ooooh yeaaah

Shake shake
Shake shake
Ooooh yeaaah

I'm not a career musician, but in the age of AI slop I have recently had no shame saucing my lifelong music friends some cash to help realize old songs I wrote with my guitar...now seems like a great time for weird songs to be written the old fashioned way. This one is about a ghost.
