  1. 128 Gum Country - Somewhere (2020)

    3D AGO

    128 Gum Country - Somewhere (2020)

    Somewhere is the only release by Gum Country - a side project of the guitarist from artisanal grunge band The Courtneys. Infectious 1990s shoegaze rockery for the present day slacker - it's hard to believe an album this catchy can be so obscure. A 'blind listening' treasure to the fullest.

    127 Ash Ra Tempel - Starring Rosi (1973)

    We enter the world of Kosmische Musik thru the psychedelic soundscapes of Manuel Göttsching's Ash Ra Temple. Starring Rosi was the fifth and final Ash Ra LP - and it's definitely the sonic outlier of the batch - the only one that comes close to a traditionally-tracked rock record. This of course is only noticeable once you've actually sampled the first four - which we will do.

    126 The Bangles - All Over the Place (1984)

    Given the MTV buzz and debutantal boom the Bangles experienced during the second half of their run, it's easy to forget their debut LP is a bonafide hitless alt-rock classic. All Over the Place reminds us that the Bangles were a really cool Paisley Underground band before the Egyptian pantomimes and Prince lil' purple penis pageantry.

    125 The Grateful Dead - Sunshine Daydream: 8/27/72 Veneta, OR (2013 Live)

    During summer 1972 - in between the end of a historic European run and a tour schedule that would have the band zipping around the country for the rest of the year, the Grateful Dead made a stop in Oregon to help their old friends Chuck and Sue Kesey save their small yogurt company from financial collapse. Great show choice Bana.

    JAN 7

    124 Los Orientales de Paramonga - Fiesta en Oriente (1974)

    A young guitarist named Maximiliano Chavez experiences a flash of divinity when he discovers the Wah-Wah guitar pedal in mid-1960s Peru and assembles Los Orientales de Paramonga - one of the cornerstone bands of Peru's psychedelic Chicha scene. Fiesta en Oriente was the band's second album - and the only one they recorded for the understatedly-historic Infopesa Records.

  6. 123 Sugar - Copper Blue (1992)

    123 Sugar - Copper Blue (1992)

    The most exhilarating rock album of the nineties came from the guitar and mouth of one of the most lovable heroes of the college rock eighties. Five years after the end of Hüsker Dü and without record label support, Bob Mould formed Sugar and found his melody on their debut album Copper Blue in 1992 - a ten-track treasure buried in plain sight amongst the chaotic Hair to Grunge Hunk transition of power.

  7. 122 Mohinder Kaur Bhamra - Punjabi Disco (1982)

    12/24/2025

    122 Mohinder Kaur Bhamra - Punjabi Disco (1982)

    A hobbyist Sikh devotional singer and her three sons create the first ever Asian-infused electronic dance album in England at their kitchen table in the Punjabi-populated London suburb of Southall in 1982. The record sat in obscurity until this year when Naya Beat resurrected and reissued the magic for our consumption.

  8. 121 Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist (1985)

    12/17/2025

    121 Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist (1985)

    A solid discog you could hold in one hand - Dead Kennedys managed to make some awesome rock and roll while simultaneously defying music industry promises and pee-pee tugs. We're gonna nip thru the whole DK catalog but go HARD on Frankenchrist - Dead Kennedys number three - where the San Francisco-ness of Jello and the gang shines thru a little more than their perky punk past.
