David Gilmour invited a band, Television Personalities, to perform at a few shows on the UK leg of his About Face tour. The band wrote a song titled 'I Know Where Syd Barrett Lives' as an ode for their appreciation for Syd Barrett. For some strange reason, at the end of the performance of said song, the lead singer, Dan Treacy, literally knew where Syd lived and proceeded to read out Syd's full postal address to the audience. An infuriated and mortified Gilmour dismissed them immediately.

I'm not used to Subjangle as a reissue label. So I was surpised to see this reissue of music made in the early 1980s. The Impossible Years were Todd Shuster's first band (we covered his new Cherry Fez release on Subjangle in January 2024).

The Impossible Years (Abington, Pennsylvania) are early 1980s power pop that must have been influenced by The Jam, The Ramones and Ork Records. There is a lot jangle here along with great melodies. As a reminder, The Impossible Years were one of the first signees on Dan Treacy's Dreamworld label.

This is a double CD release and contains a lot of unreleased music. I feel the need to post about Chico/Portland/San Francisco band Colt Wave here. While I doubt they've heard or heard of The Impossible Years, they are mining the same power pop gems Todd Shuster pumped out 40 years ago. Colt Wave have a considerable Bandcamp catalogue but no physical release as of yet. Ken Lovgren (songwriter/guitar) said there is a cassette release planned that will collect all of their releases. Colby Mancasola (Knapsack) is the drummer.

That's a wrap on 2024's Met Gala. What was the theme this year? Gardens of Time, in conjunction with the Costume Institute's exhibit "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

My personal Met Gala Winners:

TIE: Designer Harris Reed of Nina Ricci and singer Tyla in Balmain.

Tyla has a leg up because her dress is made of sand molded to her figure coupled with an hourglass to represent the sands of time.

Runner-Up: Demi Moore in Nina Ricci x Harris Reed

As always Colman Domingo leads the fashion pack. He is wearing Willy Chavarria.

Second is Barry Keoghan in Burberry. He's wearing an espresso coloured jacket ::wink::. With girlfriend Sabrina Carpenter in Oscar de la Renta.

This year's chairs - Anna Wintour (as always), Chris Hemsworth (disappointing), Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and the never disappointing Zendaya Coleman who wore two looks: Dior and Givenchy (with a Philip Treacy headdress).

What else were people wearing?

Neutrals — New Town Dream (Slumberland/Static Shock)

Photo by Kelly Sullivan

Neutrals are a San Francisco-based band but you wouldn’t know it by listening. The singer, Allan McNaughton, has a knotty Scottish burr, even now, years on from relocating to the Bay Area. Musically, he and his bandmates — Lauren Matsui on bass and Phillip Lantz on drums — favors a kicky, catchy, bash-and-pop variety of post-punk that has more than a whiff of the Television Personalities in it.

New Town Dream is a bit of a concept album, referring in multiple places to the Pollok Free State protests of the early 1990s, where residents banded together to stop the construction of a highway through their beloved park in the suburbs of Glasgow. For two years, people lived in makeshift shelters in the park, cooking communally, making music and developing strong bonds with one another.  Some even took up residence in the trees themselves. The protests were ultimately unsuccessful, and the highway was built.  “Stop the Bypass,” one of the disc’s most raucous tunes, includes a chant from the protests; “The Iron that Never Swung” seems related, too, mourning a golf course promised but never delivered. Sings McNaughton, “All the effort was in vain/we lost our land to eminent domain/where there should be a fairway, the council put a new motorway.”

Indeed, if there’s a running thread through New Town Dream, it’s the gap between idealism and what actually happens once money and politics and other real-world factors come into play. “New Town Dream (Version)” is an altered version of a song from the Bus Stop Nights EP in 2022. Dusted’s Jonathan singled it out, writing, “Musically the guitar tone takes on a razoring, quixotic quality, most urgently on “New Town Dream” and its 107 seconds of keening post punk. A little more dissonant and it could be a Swell Maps tune, tucked in among that run of short songs that opens A Trip to Marineville.”  Here it runs closer to Gang of Four with its melodica and dub bass, but it slips in some extended retro-futurist spoken word about planned communities. An educational voice making the case for planned communities outside of city centers, including shops, banks, homes and, critically, green space, as an antidote to what, “people rightly deplore in this country [which] could be called a yob culture.”  The kicker is, of course, that the minute city planners need that land for something else, poof, it’s gone.

Not all the songs stick to this broad topic, and indeed, a couple of the best are less didactic. “That’s Him on the Daft Stuff Again” is pure C-86-ish bliss, full of joy and melancholy in equal measure. McNaughton sings in a half-chant, a twist of melody under a rain of mordant words and very like the Television Personalities’ Dan Treacy. The resembles continues through the instruments, all a bounding bass and chiming, rainbow-splintering guitar chords and bumptious, disruptive drumming.

“Substitute Teacher,” slashes a little more sharply, its jutting, off-kilter guitar work sharing near equal billing with the growl of bass. The “s-s-substitute” stutter nods to the Who, the lyrics are closer to the Kinks’ lyrical wordplay. The kids may have written him off before he finishes writing his name on the board, but a distinct, individual person comes to life in a few lines: “He’s got a passion for mathematics/after work he’s into amateur dramatics/you may have seen him in a Death of a Salesman, you may have seen him in Pirates of Penzance/he was a triumph in the Scottish play/he’s only here for a day.”

All of which put Neutrals in the very top tier of jangling, hyper-articulate pop-punk bands, alongside Ducks Ltd., Reds, Pinks and Purples and the Infinites. There’s really nothing neutral about them.

1/8/24.

In the last 5 years, Subjangle has consistently released amazing music that honors the name of the label. So, to ring in the new year, here are two new releases. Sorry Monks (UK) mention Elvis Costello, Buzzcocks, Ride and The Beatles. And they get a shout out from none other than R. Stevie Moore.

Subjangle is also releasing a "double cd" from Abington Township, Pennsylvania based band Cherry Fez. Cherry Fez is the vehicle for the songs of Todd Shuster - a music vet of 40+ years. In fact, he was the first signee of Dan Treacy's (Television Personalities) Dreamworld label as a member of Impossible Years.
