Flavour Of The Month set list

Flavour Of The Month was a blast. Both bands were brilliant. Go and see them play, if you have a chance. Also looking forward to some kind of Petty Crimes release, because that gig was just so damn good. I’m not sure can you say the same about the DJ, but this is what I played:

The Gaslight Anthem: American Slang
Elvyn: Lotta Lies
The Fox Hunt: Good Girl
The Fox Hunt: Troublemakin’ Woman
Bobby Emmett: Queen Of Hearts

Nick Lowe: Heart Of The City
Anssi 8000 & Maria Stereo: Bachelorism
The Beat: Walking Out On Love
The Only Ones: Another Girl, Another Planet

These were not in any order and I might have forgotten a few. Mostly same old shit (albeit fantastic shit) as you can see, but some newer stuff as well. Anyway, now it’s time to hit the sack, because in 4 or 5 hours our baby kitten wakes up and does some kind of Simon’s Cat imitation if I don’t take her outside for a walk.

Flavour of the Month 2.10.2009

THE CASBAH (H:ki)
THE EVERGLADES (T:ku)
MARTY THE RANDOM GUY (T:ku)
+ Flavour Of The Month DJ:t
pe 2.10. 2009 klo 21-03
Pikku-Torre, Yliopistonkatu 30, Turku
liput 3€

Lokakuun Flavour Of The Month-iltamissa kuullaan sekä paikallista että vierailevaa nousevaa voimaa. Vaasalaislähtöinen, brittihenkistä rokkaavaa kitarapoppia tarjoileva The Casbah tekee FOTM-debyyttinsä ja saa taustatukea turkulaiselta The Evergladesilta, jonka musiikissa häilyy niinikään brittirockin ja -popin parhaat perinteet. Illan pohjustaa mielenkiintoinen paikallinen laulaja-lauluntekijä Marty The Random Guy, joka sekoittelee americanan eri rakennuspalikoita (country, blues, folk) omanlaiseensa järjestykseen. Illan levymusiikista vastaavat perinteiseen tapaan FOTM-DJ:t.

The Leftovers

Leftovers

A while ago I promised that I will buy at least one album from Notlame.com every month. Since then I’ve been waiting for Bruce to add June’s new releases to the website, so I can start living up to my promise. Now the new bunch of records in online and the first thing that caught my eye was this punky power pop group The Leftovers and their new album Eager To Please. It’s been produced by Linus Of Hollywood and it seems like a great summer soundtrack. Especially the songs Get To Know You, Dance With Me and Girlfriend sound pretty damn great on their myspace. Oh and please listen to Dance With Me and tell me what song comes to your mind, because the verse of it reminds me of something and it drives me insane that I can’t figure out what it is eventhough it feels like it something that I’ve heard million times. Maybe some 70’s power pop classic or something even more obvious. Anyway, The Leftovers sound great and I already ordered the album. More about this when the album arrives.

I’m pretty excited about this new plan to support Not Lame due to selfish reasons. I think I’ve missed plenty of great power pop discs along the years (and obviously will still miss a lot, because one can’t buy them all), but now this new project forces me to go through the new releases and therefore I might find a few jewels that I might have otherwise missed. Of course there’s a risk that instead of buying 1-3 albums a month, I start buying 10 albums a month and that might be a bad hit to the bank account for an unemployed person.
