The Dents - Live Cincinnati 79/80
Not to be confused with later Boston punk band The Dents.
One of those acts that released one single then disintegrated, though on the strength of this live release, they deffo coulda been contenders. Early Blondie like catchy punk/new wave noises. Like it a lot.

Broadcast - Noise Made By People
Know Autumn is on the cards when I start digging these folk out.
Sisters Of Mercy - Wide Receiver
Rough and ready collection of Bootleg demos of earlier tracks. As an old fan, I've not heard these before, I find them weirdly enjoyable.

Various Artists - Nuggets Box 4CD
Stone cold classics and WTF silliness sit side by side.
Primal Scream - Demodelica
Pretty much fully formed songs, just minus that Weatherall/Patterson touch, the thought of a dance collab must have been there, as there's a Hypnotone remix of one of the tracks. Enjoyable insight, if not essential.
Alan Vega - After Dark
Various - Strain, Crack And Break - Music from The Nurse List. Vol:2 (Germany)
I think I enjoy this more than the first (French) volume. Some wigged out but tasty shit fer sure. https://finderskeepersrecords.bandcamp.com/album/strain-crack-break-music-from-the-nurse-with-wound-list-volume-two-germany
The Green Child - Shimmering Basset
Moin - Moot
If you're familiar with Finish band Circle's early post rock-eque work, there's much to enjoy here. Though one track ( I Can't Help But Melt) bears more than passing rhythmic resemblance to Circle track 'Kultaa' .

Bubonic Plague – No Bosses No Bullshit
Lofi post punk syhth noise CDr from 2005. If you enjoy Adult etc...this may yank yer chain. Fun Grave...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxvDTBIQCa4
There was an enjoyable Whistle Test concert of Fun Boy Three aired on BBC 4 the t'other night. Terry was his usual cheery self ;) Here's hoping they start a regular slot, they had some fab gigs on tele back in the day. I recall if you had a radio cassette or hi fi, they broadcast many concerts simultaneously on FM, so you could, ahem', tape em at the same time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0010k2t
Keep well y'all. x
