Mary Monday-I Gave My Punk Jacket To Rickie 7" (US, 1977)

I don't even have a job and I still hate Mondays.  I had to go to the dentist this morning and am generally having a crappy start to the week.  Hopefully, your Monday is going a little better.  To insure it, here's a little jam from Mary Monday, out of the Bay Area in '77.  You all know her pleasantly annoying song I Gave My Punk Jacket To Rickie from My Girlfriend Is A Punk Rocker.  Here's the B side to that called Popgun:

In other news, the second printing of the zine is selling out fast.  It will soon be available in France through the I Lost My Idealism zine distro.  Also, in the UK, Inflammable Material will have them available and don't forget to pick up your Proxy LP while you're there!  And, if you are around NYC, they are available at the new Captured Tracks shop as chronicled in this very nice review from DiTKO! Zine Library.  Anyway, I think that's all the business for now.  I wish you a happy Monday, if there is such a thing, and I'll catch you later.

Love,

Megon

Kate Fagan-I Don't Wanna Be Too Cool 7" (US, 1980)

I usually don't talk about politics, and I'm not going to now.  But, just to let you know, I do think about it and a bit about how I feel is Kate Fagan with her 1980 track Waiting For The Crisis on Disturbing Records. In other news, I am off to my hometown in a couple days probably won't be around much.  If you still need a zine and want me to ship it to/from the US for cheaper than usual get at me quick at muzorewisdaughter@hotmail.com.  The reprints come back tonight and a lot are already spoken for so don't sleep on it if you intend to get one.  In other news, my friend Zack has set up a zine release show/party in Fayetteville Sept. 11th so come to the Lightbulb Club and celebrate with us if you're in or around town.  You can get all the deets HERE.  Alright, I hope y'all had a great long weekend and maybe I'll talk to you from Fayettenam!

Love,

Megon

Psychic Youth-The Future Is Now (US, 1982)

I've got my dancing shoes on and so should you.  Here's a catchy little minimal number by Psychic Youth.  I just stumbled upon this interview with former member Perry Geyer HERE.  Am totally brain dead right now so that's all you get out of me. Enjoy!

Ghost Walks-Fallen Angel (US, 1985) & OXZ-Angel (Japan, 1985)

The zine is officially SOLD OUT, for now!  If you are patient I will be printing 100 additional copies in the near future, so all hope is not lost.   At some point I will also start posting the extra material from the first issue slowly on the blog starting next week. 

 Here's some double trouble, for you.  Two songs that are both awesome and eerily similar.  Ghost Walks from Portland, Maine. This track is featured on the 1985 half US and half French comp KK77.  Secondly, a tune from Japanese group OXZ from their 1985 EP.   Take a listen and you'll see why these two are inextricably mashed up in my head at all times.  

Alright, have a good weekend out there! 

Love,

Megon

The Particles-Colour In 7" (Australia, 1980)

I am particularly pleased to share this little jam with you.  Australian band The Particles.  I am not going to tell you much because they are pretty well documented HERE and you can see loads of pics and whatnot as well as links to other info.  There are also a couple pics in the book Inner City Sound if you have that lying around.

In other news, issue one of the print zine is out and available to buy at our webstore HERE.  They are going fast so get 'em while they last! 

XOXO

Edith Nylon-Edith Nylon (France, 1979)

Sadly, it appears, I have hit another dead-end in Edith Nylon.  She does not seem to want to talk to me.  But, it doesn't make me love her any less.  I don't know what else to say that won't reveal my despair and heartbreak about being so close to her, yet so far.  First of all, if you are uninitiated, get your dancing shoes on:

Secondly, this track is not only my favorite Edith Nylon song,  this video is taken from one of my favorite movies La Brune Et Moi which is jam packed with loads of awesome ladies including Les Lou's, Ici Paris and Anouschka et Les Privés, much of which, maybe all, appears on the My Girlfriend Was a Punk compliation. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Love,

48 Chairs-Snap It Around 7" (UK 1979)

Yes, I have been busy.  Yes, I have been too busy to post any videos or tell you about any bands.  I am taking a little break from editing, before my head explodes, to reward your patience.  And, I consider this a BIG reward.  So, get ready, here's a song by 48 Chairs.  I have been keeping this one under my hat, waiting, hoping to get confirmation on a couple leads.  But, it would appear the trail has gone cold, for now.  If you don't like this song, then you must not have ears.  

This band was part of Absurd Records and you can read all about the label HERE over at D.I.Y. or Die.

I hope you all enjoy this and my slow descent into editing induced madness.  See ya real soon!

Love,

Megon
