hangin tough

Some jams have surfaced recently that are ridiculously killer (I finally tracked down the canadian rifle / american cheeseburger split... for the Can. Rifle jamz) and i've also been stoking on the dead mechanical . while new arrivals have jammed some classics have been chortling up cosmic thunder.

The Nerves released an EP in 1976. All three dudes took part in the writing but the dude who later went on to be in the plimsouls penned the questionable plimsouls pop classic "million miles away." “Hangin on the telephone” is the best of the four Nerves songs on the 1976 EP. I guess blondie did a cover of it,i've never heard the cover but rumor is it's not bad. this nerves shit is classic. fresh 2 death.

here’s the nerves…



The Nerves Jam is way better but here’s the the Plimsouls a Million Miles Away video:

Also.. some powerpop from Ireland circa 1978… Here’s the Vipers classic “I Got You” shits rad... a piano???? a piano!!! uber poppy and catchy.
