(2010) OH GOD I FORGOT IT'S THURSDAY AGAIN XD So sleeeepy. Happy Throwback Thursday! Another very early rendition of my beloved Fool! I recall I was practicing with overlays in whatever ancient program I was using. I also drew her wielding the Sigil from 1996's Strife, the game that helped inspire Fool's original design.

Throwback Thursday #46!- V/A- Pop American Style (March Records, 1996)

By the mid-90’s the indie pop scene was bursting worldwide with new bands seemingly popping up everywhere, issuing new 7” singles every day. The American scene was no different with bands all over the place and compilations of all shapes and sizes (I even issued my own compilation, Popular World comp, on my very short-lived Sky Blue Records imprint in 2000). 

Jack “Skippy” McFadden’s March Records label had been going for a few years by this point and he had released some truly fine stuff (that Holiday debut is still one of my faves) so he threw his hat in with a comp of his own. But this wasn’t just any old comp, this one was a 2-disc set (with K-Tel being an influence) of too many great songs to name, finding bands in just about every outpost of America.

The record starts with Shoestrings and their impossibly lovely “Summer Days” (they released a very fine sophomore album a few years ago on Shelflife) and then right into the Rocketship classic, “Hey Hey Girl” then onto the Cuddlecore (not my term) of Cub (with “Howard”) and on to the suave pop of the previously-mentioned Holiday with “It’s Only Love.”

40 songs spread out over two discs with more great cuts coming via Heartworms (a side project of Archie from Velocity Girls), Allen Clapp  his Orchestra, My Favorite (with the brilliant “Go Kid Go”) and Poundsign with the superb “Starry Night.”

Who else? further, Vehicle Flips, Holiday Flyer, Aberdeen, the Push Kings, Elf Power, Tullycraft and too many more. It really did seem like the comp to end all comps and I played it for days/months.

If you missed this the first time around then head on over to Discogs where you can find a copy for a very reasonable price

**side note- a few years later Skippy released Moshi Moshi: Pop International Style with a 2-cd compilation of bands, as the title suggests, from the USA and around the globe. Not quite the eye-opener that this comp was but still pretty damn good.

Throwback Thursday

Today I drew John Africa for today's theme.Which is MOVE Bombing.When members would greet each other they would say 'on the MOVE.' The MOVE organization spoke about racial and environmental injustice on street corners and protested in front of numerous organizations throughout the city of Philadelphia. And euring these protests members were more often than not arrested and jailed.In March on 1976. while seven MOVE members were returning home from jail, police were called to their residence claiming they were responding to a disturbance of peace complaint. A fight ensued and while MOVE member Janine was trying to protect her husband Phil from being beaten by police, she was GRABBED and THROWN to the ground while clutching her three-week-old baby, Life Africa, in her arms. Janine was stomped on by police until she was nearly unconscious and the baby didn't survive...and the worst part is no officer was ever charged with any crime (So apparently murder,assault and hate crime are not crimes when THEY did it? What the actual f@#k).MOVE members reorganized and moved to 6221 Osage Avenue in 1981. The house was a fortress, fortified with bunkers inside and on the roof. They continued to stage protests and broadcast their messages day and night by bullhorn from the rooftop bunker. Numerous complaints of disturbing the peace, unsafe living conditions, and child endangerment were filed against MOVE from neighbors and federal agencies. Several previous attempts at removal were met with violence by MOVE members. The city subsequently cut off water and power to the home and stopped picking up their trash, heightening tensions with the organization.On May 13, 1985, city officials sent police to serve arrest warrants, with orders to carry out by extreme force. Nearby local residents were told to evacuate but could return to their homes the following day. Nearly 500 officers in SWAT gear, backed by heavy artillery and an anti-tank machine gun, surrounded the block. A shot fired from inside the MOVE residence was met by a volley of over 10,000 rounds in 90 minutes all shot into the home.5 fire trucks pumped gallons of water through the basement (if you're wondering why they pumped water in there it's because the MOVE members were hiding there...WITH CHILDREN) and tear gas was thrown into the windows of the home. SWAT teams tried to blast holes in the walls of adjoining houses to gain entry. MOVE membersk were holding the children up in the air to avoid drowning in rising waters. The all-day standoff led to the city dropping a C-4 bomb on the rooftop of the home. The bunker did not fall, but the roof of the home was engulfed in flames. 65 neighborhood homes were destroyed and over 200 residents lost their homes.11 MOVE members, including John Africa and 5 children were killed. One adult, Ramona, and one child, Birdie (13 years old), survived the bombing but were severely burned. Ramona was convicted of conspiracy and jailed for seven years. She later sued the city and was awarded a $1.5 million settlement in 1996.Several articles, books, and two documentaries, The Bombing of Osage Avenue (1986) and Let the Fire Burn (2013), have been produced about the incident. In 2017, a historical marker was erected on the corner of Osage and Cobbs Creek Parkway, by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. Plans for redevelopment by city officials and private companies have failed, and the destroyed homes remained boarded up.

Throwback Thursday #58!- Dressy Bessy- Pink Hearts Yellow Moons (1999- Kindercore)

Though this long-running Denver indie rock outfit, led by longtime couple vocalist/guitarist Tammie Ealom and guitarist John Hill (who had been in the Apples in Stereo) are still at it releasing records, this debut long-player from 1999, is still my favorite by them. The band formed in 1996 and had a few singles before this debut LP appeared. So Ealom, Hill along with the rhythm section of Darren Albert and Rob Greene (who sadly passed away a few years back) crafted a terrific little debut record here!

With 11 songs clocking in at just under 30 minutes the songs are a sugar rush of fuzzed-out guitars, bouncy rhythms, and hooks a plenty. Cuts like the choppy, fun “Lookaround,”  the Briggs & Stratton guitar of the great “Little TV,” the psych bounce of “Jenny Come On,” and the Kinks-ish “Extra-Ordinary” are just a few of the corkers on here. You want more? Don’t miss other ones like “Big Vacation” or “I Found Out.”

The record is just simply a blast from start to finish and every self-respecting indie popster truly needs to have this one in their collection.
