Toxic Fumes-Easy Money (US, 1983)


I posted this song earlier and thought "That was silly, this should totally be a blog post." So, here we are.  Talkin' about the 1983 Mystic Records The Sound of Hollywood Girls comp.  This was the accompaniment to The Sound of Hollywood-Destroy LA, they came out the same year. But, it would appear the ladies didn't gain much traction, despite the catchy name and pretty sweet cover art.  And, I will tell you, there are really only a couple good tracks in the bunch, in my opinion. You can read a bit about it or download it all and see for yourself HERE.

This particular song is my favourite track from the whole comp, and seemingly & sadly the only release, by LA group Toxic Fumes.  As I've told y'all before,  I LOVE songs about money and this one is a real doozy.  And, very appropriate since I FINALLY got paid today from a job I've been working at for a good long while.  A Christmas miracle!  Anyway, that's all for now.  If I don't make it back before Christmas, have a happy holiday!

Great City-Great City LP (US, 1986)


It's definitely the kind of day to listen to over-dramatic electro-rock.  Mondays are hard, and they are double-hard after such long weekends.  I am still feeling exhausted, dehydrated and  highly emotional after a weekend that essentially lasted two weeks.  Just have to get through November and I can hibernate till spring.

Anyway, this is Great City.  Not much info about them floating around out there.  If you want to download the album, you can do so HERE, I would recommend it for no other reason than the track Tell Me I'm Yours which is pretty great.  Here are a couple of the other best tracks, I Remember and Too Much Thunder.  Ok, happy Monday to you all, if there is such a thing.

XOXO
