By demand and demand and demand... and the two minutes passed away. (private joke)
So here it is , in the comments : (Re)-post of the great demo from this fabulous but undercovered 90's French surf band :
As a promise is a promise, and to thank the anonymous guy who answered to my demand on the Stilettos : here is another time these great songs by this great dutch band.
Great track, superb song... (and we all need more week-end !)
Week-end
Just to remember this superb artist , go to : eddiecochran.info (Today i'd just like to talk about Eddie Cochran, one of my favorite singer/songwriter.)

This 03rd of July, I haven't the idea to see live this great band. I just known the name, its reputation, and I have already had the chance to see them on stage, but unfortunaltely, arriving at Macon some weeks ago, a member was ill, and the band had been remplaced by another.
So this week-end, I was visiting a friend of mine, near Chambéry, and in the middle of the afternoon, around the table, with a good wine in hand, we look for the cultural manifestations. What a surprise to read in the newspaper that the Bogeymen were programmed by the Larsen label, not far from here with the Squares and two other bands !
So we went to the Parc du buisson rond.
Notice : This is a fan document, not intended for a bootleg (for shit people). If you listen voices and sound's variations during the tracks, it's normal. It's just because I was so excited that I run in all the directions, combining the recording of the set with my walkman and the shooting of the scene with my photograph. It's fan bootleg in its true reality, with no consideration of making money with it. Just sharing.
Anyway, you will admit it's a great document, considering there is nothing else around about the band. Am I alone to have documents ? I don't think so. But you're so square...
Track listing of the set (almost complete) 1 You are on my mind (1st ending) 0:18 2 I'll get to you 2:02 3 She let me down 2:12 4 Backward child 2:06 5 I just need somebody 2:21 6 She's not mine 1:54 7 You're my candy 2:16 9 I've got nobody (ending) 1:08 10 Don't be afraid of me 2:44 11 Don't try to put me down 1:38 12 Roaming child 2:19 13 We'll feel allright 2:46 14 I feel well 2:31 15 Action time 2:48 16 You are on my mind (encore) 2:38 (missing "8 Electrocution" : end of k7)
Yep, I realised that it's worst having players instead of a simple mp3 link, because you cannot download the files I intended to. So, basta with the players, and enjoy everything !
Cope with his band (insert of Saint Julian's lp) Look for his special personnalised micro, where he climbs on it in concert.
I first heard about Julian Cope in 1987 with the cool Saint Julian lp. Great album of deranged pop, but full of classics suchas World shut your mouth, Trampolene or Space hopper. Yes, I also known at that time that Cope came out of his band Teardrop Explodes and that it was not his first solo lp, but his discography was already not easy to find in France.
Then, the artist entered in a glorious period of enlightment by the help of these sus-mentionned singles. French radio broadcast Bernard Lenoir's Les inrockuptibles intensively airwaved these tunes and it was soon followed in 1988 by a new album on the same Island label : "My nation underground", as pop and as commercialy "formated". But it failed, in spite of a great live "black session" (Lenoir = black in english), where Cope offered us a superb compilation of some of his best habited songs (*).
This was to be a climax. Two years later, the wind has turned.Cope was thankfulled by his record label, and he returned to independance, to bizarre music, and to... shadow. If you were not in Great britain, it became difficult to get news about mister Cope (except on Bernard Lenoir's broadcast).
But nonetheless, the "Droolian" was continuing making albums and big part of them are worth the listen. That you take the superb double lp "Peggy suicide" (1991) , 20 mothers (1995) or anything else til now, you can always expect some good music with intelligent message on it. That it contains rough, punk, psyche, transe or popish songs, or the whole thing mixed, Julian Cope's albums are always where we cannot wait for them, and in the same time never disappointing. Ok, you have also to look hard for it, but it's worth having a handfull of them in its discotheque.
Isn't it the rule for all of the last independant heroes ?
came to play to Roanne with a "remorque" (about 600 km).
