Ash "Girl From Mars"

Here's another Weekend Post:
More Brit-pop from a UK band that managed to take the cartoonish punkiness of The Ramones, but make it cute too.  Nearly 20 years later, this song still charms . . .


Hear the song on Youtube.

Weekend posts are a chance to revisit songs that have happy memories, not of anything in particular, other than just hearing the tunes.

Many of these songs were tracks that I played during my 90s stint as an Alternative/Modern Rock radio show.  They're tunes that I hardly hear these days, but are fun to revisit.

The Farm "Groovy Train"

Here's another Weekend Post:

In the early 90s, bands like this were being foisted on America on a weekly basis. You'd read all these breathless Melody Maker reviews of how they were dominating the U.K. charts, and were coming to conquer the USA.

And inevitably, they'd get a nice bit of MTV "Buzz Bin" action . . . and that would be that. You'd never hear from them again.

20 years later, I still won't read a review of a band, if it was written by the British press.

I like this song, though.
