She met some guy from the Ropers and kissed him as I looked away. 26 Aug 2013 | 10:27 am
In 2003, while everyone was swooning to the Postal Service, I was chilling out to this intoxicating debut album from a band that didn't seem to garner a morsel of attention or press. Funny that. Hav...
Nightman - No Escape (1981, Limp) 24 Aug 2013 | 07:06 pm
You could say that any friend of Tommy Keene is a friend of mine. What aroused my interest in Nightman, was drummer Doug Tull, who I learned was formally enlisted in the greater D.C. area Razz in the...
Lines - Standby ep (1983, Sideman) 22 Aug 2013 | 10:05 pm
This is not the same Lines from Long Island that I featured a few years back, nor is it the slightly more renown Brit post-punk act of the same name. Nope, these Lines were jotted down in the environ...
A Few Good Men 7" (1987, Nobodaddy) 21 Aug 2013 | 03:29 am
Just a hunch, but I don't think I'll ever tire of '80s, collegiate indie rock, and this dandy 45 can be added to that treasured pile of vinyl evidence. Not a stitch of info on these folks - online, o...

Well, Wilfully Obscure has been a tad lax this week, so until we get the chance to rip more wax, please partake in this Church bootleg from 1982. The first eight tracks are derived from a Stockholm, ...
V/A - Squares Blot Out the Sun (1990, DB) 16 Aug 2013 | 11:24 pm
Per the sleeve notes, this compilation was slated to be issued in 1984, but the unintended layover accorded DB Records to include selections that were recorded beyond the year George Orwell so famousl...
Populuxe - tape (1990) 15 Aug 2013 | 05:02 am
To be perfectly frank, not only wouldn't I be sharing this one with ya'll, I probably wouldn't have purchased it to begin with were it not for the inclusion of a cover of the Flamin' Groovies quintess...
Goldspot - Aerogramme (2013) - a brief overview 14 Aug 2013 | 07:46 am
I'm tempted to say that Goldspot fulcrum Siddhartha Khosla has seized upon the same commercial-indie formula that the Shins/Broken Bells and Rogue Wave have so agilely ushered to the top of the album ...
Making plans on sure things that aren't. 12 Aug 2013 | 06:56 pm
Was the best indie rock album of 1989 actually released on a major label? Pretty much. Having difficulty accessing the file? Please try again a little later. Too many people hammering the link sim...
