For years I’ve gotten TH’ FAITH HEALERS confused with a band called MOONSHAKE. While I was prattling on about having seen the former play live around 1994 or so, it was actually the latter (who I didn’t like).
Recently I got (re?-)acquainted with Th’ Faith Healers stuff, and while a lot of it is wankadoodle noise pop with a glossy indie sheen of boredom, some of it is decidedly not. The best song they did, “A Word of Advice”, is presented to you here for your listening pleasure. From 1992’s “Lido”.
Here are some records that Mark E. Smith would like you to listen to, just as soon as you can help him find those missing teeth.
Wow. Listen to this thing for a second, will you? It’s a monster track from an Italian “musical” and opera/theater production called LA GATTA CENERENTOLA, but it could have easily have fallen off of a Ze Records comp or something that Soul Jazz dug up from New York’s Little Italy postpunk dance clubs in 1980.
Roberto De Simone is the composer’s name. It’s from 1976, is called “Secondo Coro Delle Lavandie”, and it’s on the soundtrack. Thanks to IsItAnArt for turning me onto this one of his amazing 8Tracks mixes.
Here’s a great 4-page overview of early Seattle punk rock history, courtesy of an article from DO THE POP! fanzine. The ‘zine came out in the late 90s and was devoted to lost, ignored and underground KBD-style punk in all its forms, both past and modern.

Pat Todd of THE LAZY COWGIRLS, back around 1987 or so when they ruled the universe.

Guess who. It’s THE BANGS, later known as The Bangles, right around the time of their killer 1981 “Getting Out of Hand/Call On Me” 45 on Downkiddie Records.
The most popular post in the history of my Detailed Twang blog was my post of that 45. If you’ve never heard it, come take a listen right here.
This 1989 song from THE CANNANES from Australia is as good a “What Goes On” Velvet Underground “homage” as I’ve ever heard, Modern Lovers and every New Zealand band that ever wrote a song combined. It liberally borrows from the burrowing-riff structure of that song while being a simple, straightforward and exceptionally pleasant pop song in its own right.
It’s called “Sound of the City”, and comes from their “A Love Affair With Nature” LP; apparently the one that Cannanes fans’ll tell ya is the one to get if you have to get just one.
