various | i'll procrastinate tomorrow

for a while it seemed like every tape comp featured boyracer. indeed, when i was putting together the inaugural tape comp on kylie, i wrote to stewart asking if he'd like to contribute and he sent me some stuff, commenting that i happened to catch him in a "yes" phase, he gets so many requests.

as this is a sticky release, boyracer are not the only attraction here - check the live mambo taxi, hula hoop and spatula songs.

::: boyracer - this has gone on too long (demo)
::: evil wiener - we're both crazy
::: mambo taxi - belgium blues (live)
::: corradi kid - this time
::: spatula - break
::: murray torkildsen - stop talking football
::: hula hoop - tula (demo)
::: johanna's house of glamour - only lovely love

tape released by sticky records in 1993.

do it now.

blimey you don't get records like this very often anymore. at least i don't.

sticky was another brilliant label that seems to have been largely forgotten but should be cherished for releasing records like this. this picture disc was the first in a series (next stop was uk with boyracer and cornershop - not ripped it yet), and features four prime examples of swedish indie pop, less twee more boyracer if you see what i mean...

anyway, it looks great and more importantly sounds ace... a brighter spark might have sought out more records by the bands, especially puffin, but sadly i failed.

1. the bear quartet - capital breath
2. puffin - three-piece
3. a shrine - number
4. blithe - allegiance

released by sticky records in 1995.

get some.

p.s. the eagle-eyed will spot the price label on this - yes, i bought this at rival records in bath. i bought a lot of records at rival records in bath. including this one.
