May's Mix-Tape 2010
Nuggets: The Dovers - I Could Be Happy
Perhaps the greatest band 1960s L.A. band not to 'make it big'. I recently purchased The Dovers singles compilation that was re-issued on Misty Lane Records in Italy.This rarer-than-rare cut of bubblegum folk pop magic is a must for any 60s garage nut.
Children of Nuggets: The Chills - Satin Doll
You may be familiar with their most famous song 'Pink Frost' (you may not!) - but I took time to patiently trawl through The Chills back catalogue. I fished out 'Satin Doll' which is one of the finest songs I've ever heard. Taken from their first album Kaleidoscope World in 1986.
Grandchildren of Nuggets: Boy Or Bison - Spiderman
Boy Or Bison are a new group from Manchester and play dreamy surf that also flirts with a garage band sensibility, doo-wop, early beat (think of the Hollies played at a slower tempo) and the twang of Link Wray.
