Around The World (42)

Hello, Around the Worldmusics is in the Carribbean this week, to honor those fast legged men and women that leave the olympic competion standing. So why i wonder, is it genetics..partly sure or is it..that cars are not as available on these islands and with the ocean around, swimming..and on top of that the fabulous music and dance culture that loosens those hips. In short, from a young age onwards there's plenty of incentives to move that body..So today we go back, what brought those champions ancestors together ? Well Latin Soul surely was part of that so here are two compilation albums..

reposte Eight-X (42)

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

Hello, Eight-X compilations coming up, but first a reminder Massmirror has 'lost' all their links it seems, unapologetically i might add but then dont expect service when its free...Share on all has gone dead aswell, they however post an excuse. Well my exposure to them was limited 15-20 links and i have reupped those now, as for Massmirror i will re-up those on request.
First up today Bomp's Experiments In Destiny an excellent compilation of the late seventies punk / powerpop scene in the US an indie scene that suffered from marketcontrol of the US majors lacking access to distributionchannels and radio...shortchanging innovation has always been the attitude of the established...check out what they kept away from you , back then.. the other two compilations are eighties hits Number One On The Streets are all 12 " mixes, the Sisters are doin it ...so we're led to believe , but the girls dont sound very assertive in the mideighties..

VA - Experiments In Destiny ( 80, 82min ^ 89mb)

Bomp! Records is an American indie label, featuring punk, pop, powerpop, garage rock, new wave, old school rock, neo-psychedelia and much more. For its first 5 years, Bomp was about this kind of revisionist rock history, and a clubhouse for those who dreamed of breathing some of the fire of the '60s back into rock's wimped-out veins. In 74 Bomp released its first single "You Tore Me Down". There was no college radio; it was the heyday of Eagles-dominated FM, but it managed to get rotation on several dozen stations. It didn't sell many (there was no distribution, after all), but did rouse the interest of Sire. Lacking England's centralized media and distribution, it was a slow process. Until about 1979 the industry, radio and major media seemed determined to suppress or ignore punk (into which they lumped anyone new, from the Viletones to Nils Lofgren and Tom Petty), leaving a void that Bomp tried to fill. The roster filled up with groups from New York, Boston, London, Ohio,Toronto, and elsewhere.

By 1977 there was a solid scene in Los Angeles too, and Bomp recorded bands including The Weirdos, The Germs and The Zeros, as well as Devo (their 2nd 45, "Satisfaction", and a planned live album that never happened). Bomp also picked up Iggy Pop's first solo album, Kill City, when nobody else would touch it, and thus, after a dozen 45s, Bomp entered the 12" arena.
New Wave was becoming big business, and given Bomp's punk/powerpop track record, they were being approached by every mercenary wagonband in the land. At the same time, though, that image helped bring to Bomp some of the artists I'm most proud of having worked with, such as Stiv Bators. Seeking to escape from the punk stereotype into more challenging music, Stiv came to Bomp largely because of our powerpop image (with which he was in complete accord), giving the label some of its most enduringly groovy sounds.

The culmination of Bomp's flirtation with commerciality came during the years 1980-82, when "new wave" became "rock of the '80s", a format writ in dollar signs. Other indie labels (like Slash at Warners and 415 at CBS) were signing with majors, getting the funding to threaten the charts.Bomp was then the leading unaffiliated indie.
