Slew 13 - Powerpop Explosion!!!

Slew 13  -  The Show  //  The Pics

I got a Cheap Trick record recently and while I was listening to it I started pulling other things it made me think of and all of a sudden....Power Pop Explosion!!!

1.Cheap Trick - ELO Kiddies: Cheap Trick LP (Epic Records, 34400, 1977)
http://www.cheaptrick.com/

2.The Knack - Good Girls Don't (but I do): Get The Knack LP (EMI Records, SO-11948, 1979)
Yeah, they wrote My Sharona, but this song is way better. Though, admittedly, I feel a bit odd when I sing along.
http://www.knack.com/

3.Figgs - Hey Mr. Moonman: Banda Macho LP (Capitol Records, 2438-36687, 1996)
This might be the first time we’ve played The Figgs. That’s a shame.
http://www.thefiggs.net/

4.Paul Collins! - Doin' It For The Ladies; King Of Power Pop! LP (Alive Records, ALIVE0110-1, 2010)
http://thepaulcollinsbeat.com/

http://radio3.cbc.ca/#/artists/The-Tranzmitors 

6.Pointed Sticks - Out Of Luck: Waiting For The Real Thing LP (Sudden Death, SDR0065, 2006)
Holy Crap, I think they are going to record a new record. Fucking SWEET!!!!!
http://thepointedsticks.com/

7.The Dickies - Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind: Stukas Over Disneyland 12” (Closer Records (italian import), CL008, 1983)
http://www.thedickies.com/

8.The Rezillos - Top Of The Pops: Mission Accomplished...But The Beat Goes On LP (Sire, SRK 6069, 1979)

9.Bad Sports - Someday In The Future: Kings Of The Weekend LP (Dirtnap Records, ZZZ-106, 2011)
http://www.myspace.com/badsportsband

10.Undertones - My Perfect Cousin: Hypnotised LP (Sire, SRK 6088, 1980)
I was surprised to find out that The Undertones are back together. They have also managed to make quite an extensive list of every band they know of that has covered Teenage Kicks. How about that?
http://www.theundertones.com/_/Home.html

11.The Diodes - Red Rubber Ball: Permanent Wave Compilation LP (Epic, E36136, 1979)
As I mention in this slewisode, The Diodes were a complete random grab and I hadn’t heard of them before playing this song today. It’s too bad we here at SlewHQ are so late to the party.

http://www.elviscostello.com/

15.Go Go's - How Much More: We Got The Beat 7” (Stiff Records, BUY78, 1980)
Not to be rude to a bunch of moms, but holy shit. I just went to the Go Go’s website and looking at them made me feel so fucking old. This is a great fucking song though.
http://www.gogos.com/

16.Dictators - Young, Fast, Scientific: Manifest Destiny LP (Elektra/Asylum, 0698, 1977)

Slew 12 - Peppermint Schnapps, and other bad ideas.

Slew 12 - The Show///

This past year SlewHQ managed to acquire 143 records recorded in 2011. Trying to come up with a list of favorites, let alone a true top ten list, proved to be difficult. I managed to ween things down to a top 40 but we didn’t think anyone would ever listen to a four hour podcast. To tighten things up I called names out from the shortlist and Chaz yelled “yes” or “no”. This episode of the Slewcast is the result. The order songs are played in no way reflects some sort of ranking. And for the record, in our opinion the top release of the year happens to be a tie between the Smart Cops LP and the Night Birds LP proving that hand claps and surf guitar are true equals.

Slew 11 - Damn! To bad it’s not episode 12...

Slew 11 - The Show /// The Pics

Have you ever snuck-up-on Mike’s record collection, pulled 16 records, and listened to them. If not, this is what it sounds like. It truly is a great collection. Diverse in time, age, varying genres, and sizes. 12”, 10”, 7”...Punk, Metal, Pop...Enjoy the random selection.


1. Mr. T Experience: So Long Sucker - Making Things With Light LP (Lookout! Records, LK-37, 1990)
The first thing you notice about this album is there is a Light Bright on the cover.

2. Camero Werewolf Band: Problem Child - Our Boy Roy (compilation) LP (Telephone Explosion Records, TER017, 2010)
It took some thinking about, but we figured out this album is all Roy Orbison songs.
The singer of Camero Werewolf went on to start Live Fast Die. That’s all I know.

3. Hellacopters: Oh Yeah Alright! - Disappointment Blues 10” (White Jazz, Jazz 015LP, 1998)
The Swedish music scene was crippled with bad disco for a long time. The Hellacopters helped put a stop to that.  Thank Odin.

4. Devo: Planet Earth - Freedom Of Choice LP (Warner Brothers, BSK 3435, 1980)
Devo is best known for wearing strange outfits. Their music is really very good though.

5. Science of Yabra: Vengeance Will Be Mine - Check The Union LP (Frenetic Records, FHU001, 2005)
Saw these guys play a gig a bunch of years ago. Although I liked their songs, I haven't listened to them in a while. It’s always fun listening to old stuff again.

16. Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter: How Will We Know? - Like, Love, Lust & The Halls Of The Open Soul 2xLP (Southern Lord, Sunn 89, 2008)
This song just didn’t fit into any of the other sets of music. I thought about just putting it back, but that would be cheating. Besides, it’s a fucking great song. Check it out.
