BOTTOM OF THE POPS 2-25-2018

ARTIST NAME / SONG TITLE / AMOUNT OF YOU TUBE PLAYS ON CHART PUBLICATION

1 The Woolen Men – Real FX  (10)

Portland’s finest, from last year’s album. The true Modern Lovers for our age.

2 Hair Moats – Yeah You  (35)

Death Grips, The Chipmunks, Politics & Girl Power. Probably what 2018 really sounds like.

3 The Cold Spells – Sailing By (85)

BOP faves, the Cold Spells, give it a bit of Ultramarine, “up in the mountains” action.

4 Pinch – AHH FFF SSS (185)

Sublime, yet again, from this UK producer. How is it, that if you live more than 5 miles outside Bristol, you haven’t a hope in hell of ever making music sounding like this.
5 Sea Pinks – Art Examining Life (192)

Every now and then I’ll be taken in by a little jangle fest. Doubt it’ll stay long but enjoyable enough while it’s around.

6 Papa Yankson – Wonma Yenko Po   (269)

Presume it’s from a few years back, rootsy afro disco, thankyou very much we’ll have that.
7 Whitney K – Goodnight (390)

Featured late last year, almost forgot how good this ep is.

8  Acid Pauli – Requiem For A Loop  (586)

At a bit of a loss as to getting the message across on this one ! Some Spaniards, i think, they’ve thrown it all in, the kitchen sink too. But it works.

9 Dead Horses – Morning Hell (607)

On the wonderful, Maple Death Records. Wish people made records like this all the time.

10)  Charles Douglas – I’m Doomed  (973)

This man is incapable of writing a dud tune.

Because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know.

We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.

But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.
