The best thing about 90s pop band THE GODRAYS, besides their drummer/sometimes singer’s name being Phoebe Summersquash, is this song. It’s called “Boyscout Thriller”, and it’s from a mostly solid album from 1996 called “Songs For TV Stars”. Summerquash sings it, and it’s the only one on the album she does.

As I have learned, two members of the band were once in Rhode Island’s SMALL FACTORY. I remember many a twee fan busting a nut over them in the early 90s. I betcha this song’s even better.

Bonkers 1997 blink-you-missed track from Scotland’s THE YUMMY FUR, who touted themselves on their album “Kinky Cinema”, from whence this came, as “The Early Hardcore Gay Sound of Young Glasglow”. That album has about two hits and over three dozen misses. This one, “Car Park”, is by far a bonafide hit.

(From my Hedonist Jive blog, July 2010):

Velvet Underground bootlegs. I have a lot of them – one of the best-documented of the all-time great bands, and some of the platters, even live tapes, are as good as the studio recordings. (Robert Quine’s “Quine Tapes”, which were circulated on tapes for years, got the official release a few years back and recently came out as a multi-LP set with extra tracks). I was rooting through some old boxes and found the Summer 2001 issue of MOJO COLLECTIONS magazine and this nice two-page feature on some of the better Velvets boots. Just stay away from “Screen Test: Falling In Love With The Falling Spikes” if you’re new to this game. (click on pictures to make them larger).
