Back in the mid-aughts, I had a music blog for a year. Finding new (i.e. "fresh") music that I liked turned out to be a lot of work, so I stopped. Every so often I get the itch to write about music. But where? So I created this as a place to write as well as post my old blog entries.

The Pandoras - Stop Pretending
Where were you in 1986?
The Pandoras
were releasing their second album,
Stop Pretending.
Great sixties-style garage rock with "proto-riot grrrl" vocals.
Both The Muffs
(Kim Shattuck
and original member Melanie Vammen) and
The Leaving Trains
(Vammen again)
have roots that go back to The Pandoras, for what it's worth.
Rhino Handmade, the limited
edition arm of Rhino Records,
has remastered
Stop
Pretending
and added ten more tracks of rarities and demos.
Check out the single,
In and Out of My Life (In a Day),
as well as
Ain't Got No Soul
It's a limited edition of 2500 so don't sit on your butt if you're
interested.
Where was I in 1986?
I was actually in Southern California so I had no excuse for not seeing them.
With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight: I was stupid, stupid, stupid.
I've made up for it, though, by getting the whole back catalog.
Vinyl singles included.
