VA - Second Thoughts

VA Second Thoughts cd 2005 320 kbps
BITHAMMER! : Manga mongo / High and mighty THE KWYET KINGS : Kimberly Clarke / Upside down / Can't hurry love / Radiated by your charm / Lonely boy THE BITTERSWEETS : Good looks / I surrender / Anything from you / Colour of day THE KWYET KINGS : Talking on the phone / Candygirl / Second thoughts / Twisting my nerves / Need my lovin' tonight / Number one LUST-O-RAMA : (Can 't do) Another mistake / I'm down THE COSMIC DROPOUTS : It's gonna rain / Let's go to the beach THE JOYFUL TEARS : The way it is.
Japanese import, 22 song comp from Arne Thelin who was the leader of a long list of really cool bands, our favorite one being The Kwyet Kings, whose songs dominate this collection, but he also was in the very Shambles/Barracudas like band, The Lust-O-Rama and Bittersweets. The material from Kwyet Kings is full of pistol whipping Plimsouls/Moberlys styled energy and nifty guitar work and vocals, a fast `n fresh distillation of power pop that nails the spirit of the above bands dead on and survives the act of nostalgia w/ease. The other bands are hard `n fast versions of garage bands like aforementioned Shambles, Chesterfield Kings and the fab great Barracudas. If you like a bit of buzz and power with your pop with a rootsy 60`s edge, this one is Extremely Highly Recommended! Notlame

  4. rapidshare has no sppace for free downloads as I write, but I am desperate to get this! Why? Because I have finally found a track I've been looking for for about 15 years - The Joyful Tears' Way It Is. I heard this once on Sydney's JJJ and nobody I've asked about it since (or googling I've done)has ever heard of it. I remembered they they were Norwegian but over time concluded that I must have heard the band name wrongly. But here it is. Fantastic! Thank you, thank you.

  5. Any possibility of a re-up on this one? This collection is impossible to find.
