A couple of rarities in from the short-lived but influential Glasgow label Postcard Records. Releases #2 and #3 from late 1980: Orange Juice - Blue Boy / Love Sick & Josef K - Radio Drill Time / Crazy To Exist. First pressings with hand-coloured covers and fold-out reversible sleeves. #beatdiscpunksingles #postcardrecords #orangejuice #josefk #postpunk #edwyncollins (at Beatdisc Records) https://www.instagram.com/p/By9dZ8kgSbk/?igshid=2es7pps1rfuw

Back to the Old House:

An uncovering of dusty vintage…
Tumblr media
I came to Josef K in the mid-aughts when the post-punk-boom was in full effect. It had started a few months earlier with my ever growing Orange Juice obsession, thanks to the Domino Records released ‘The Glasgow School’ comp. Groups like Franz Ferdinand begat Orange Juice, who then in turn lead to Josef K and their 1981 debut LP ‘The Only Fun in Town’ and more specifically the fantastic “It’s Kinda Funny.”
That slow opening of guitars and drums that lurch along, refusing to pick up even when Paul Haig’s sullen vocal enters the fray, was instantly a thing of beauty to my then miserablist ideology. There’s a steady and measured pace throughout the song, a downtrodden tempo with the ubiquitously cheerful line of “it’s kinda funny” anchoring the whole darn thing. The tones that guitarists Malcom Ross and the aforementioned Haig capture are so perfectly skeletal, yet impactful, while the locked down rhythm holds it all together. 
Everything I could ever want in a guitar-based pop song was there, while offering up a different kind of coldness than say Joy Division. One of the truly great things about “It’s Kinda Funny” is how well it holds up and how truly fresh it sounds today, proving that a great song is simply that, great.
Press play, and thank me later....

Aztec Camera - 'We Could Send Letters' (1981)
This one comes off the far less famous NME C81 mixtape. Great song, and Roddy Frame's voice is so almost as dreamy as he is <3. The theme is also even more on point than it was then! Can't remember the last time I wrote a letter. 
This song also reminds me of my friend Matt.

High Land Hard Rain by Aztec Camera was/is a big record for me from back in the day and one of the reasons I wanted to write songs and make records.
Here's some great footage from The Tube featuring Roddy Frame playing a couple of acoustic songs and talking about his new record...

This one is for the real nerds, trolls and fuck ups. I always seemed to find out about bands in two. Josef K and A Certain Ratio came together. #josefk #postcardrecords #postpunk

To the guy behind me in line yesterday saying "who the fuck is this Orange Juice on the list, must be some new shitty band". This is Orange Juice! The sound of young Scotland! Rip it up and start again! #orangejuice #postpunk #postcardrecords #vinyl #vinylcollector
