Redd Kross - Mess Around (1997) | Guess I’m Dumb
Redd Kross - Mess Around (1997)
"Redd Kross started off back in the late 70s as a punk band led by brothers Jeff and Steve McDonald when they were only 14 and 11 years old. Their music has been described as coming from that “sweet spot where punk, metal and bubblegum meet”. Sounds like power pop to me, and this is a great example."

THIS MORTAL COIL - SONG TO THE SIREN [Tim Buckley cover]
Another re-visit! THIS MORTAL COIL - SONG TO THE SIREN
I found a clip of David Lynch talking about wanting to use this wonderful version of the classic Tim Buckley song in Blue Velvet but finding they wanted too much money ( at the time!) and he had to wait until he could afford it for Lost Highway
I couldn't embed the interview here as it is forbidden but click the link here and see David exploring the music for his films:

Talk Talk- A Box of... Talk Talk
(45th Anniversary 1981-2026 Super Deluxe Edition) (18CD) (2026)
Now I should say I like Talk Talk . . .I really like Talk Talk and since the death of Mark Hollis from cancer in 2019 I was truly affected badly by the loss of such a unique voice and writing at the heart of the band. Yet I still think this is overindulgent really. I have all the offical releases and several ROIOs issued after Hollis' untimely death but 18 cds calls my bluff I guessRead on here and enjoy what Butterboy has done here if you are a true fan . . . . . . . download at your discretion I guess
A fascinating interview with James Marsh on his album cover work for Talk Talk:

STEALING MEDIA! - sharing without credit! | MUDWERKS
Mudwerks says: Just a heads up on an account that apparently steals content from tumblr posts, and then reposts them as their own:
Their blog appears to be reposted material from the tumblrs that originally posted it (mostly gifs) - with NO credit or source given.
Completely against any tumblr ethics or guidelines.
I’ve contacted them a few times to register my concern and gotten no response.
…time to report and block.
Mudwerks get’s rightly cross with folks who steal links and media without crediting and I always try to endeavour to do so. If you ever catch me doing that please call me on it . . . it is the antithesis of what I try to do here and I share material that folks make and so that people visit other sites, like I do . . . so please feel free!
