#NowSpinning The Chevelles - The Kids Ain't Hip (1991)
This Perth #powerpop group's debut 12" featuring members of The Stems & The Kryptonics. Some copies are on color #vinyl, but this is a black copy. "This is a teen pop recording." #NowPlaying #VinylCommunity #VinylSky
January 27, 2026 at 7:45 PM
#NowSpinning Gregg Tripp - Never Surrender (1981)
Absolutely stellar, underappreciated #powerpop from Eugene, OR. Tripp also disappeared for 10+ years between albums. Both albums are definitely worth grabbing if you come across them. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky
January 27, 2026 at 7:03 PM
#NowSpinning The Blushing Brides - Unveiled (1982)
Boogie rock with Stones-y swagger meets skinny tie #powerpop on this first of two albums (the second twelve years later as just The Brides) from the Ontario band. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Dead Kennedys - Bedtime For Democracy (1986)
The satirical swan song from SF's pioneering political #punk band. It kicks off with a cover of Take This Job And Shove It and send the band off into the sunset atop their high horse. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky
January 26, 2026 at 6:12 PM
(Peter Noone's) Herman's Hermits, The Archives, The Cuff Links... sounds like the 2026 Maltshop Memories Tour is right up my alley.

#NowSpinning R. Stevie Moore - Ariel Pink's Picks, Vol. 1 (2011)
This 2xLP comp of material by the lovable, lo-fi #slackerrock #psychedelic #powerpop weirdo is full of great, catchy, home-recorded #artpop, but marred by its connection to a genuine piece of shit. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity
January 24, 2026 at 6:11 PM
Some local #hardrock & one of my fav slabs of #NOLAR&B along with the usual mix of obscure & classic #garagerock #bubblegum #punk #newwave #psychedelic & #powerpop singles on this #45Friday. #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky
