The Feelies - The Good Earth

New week, new album!
I like to consider the Feelies as "The sound from the ground"; you can even smell the ground of the endless fields while listening to their music.
This album is a mixture of genuine folk mixed with gentle jangly guitars. I think this is the perfect record to listen to while laying on a bed or better on a corn field.
Absolutely brilliant!

Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Flaunt It

This was the very first record I've bought ages ago; it's a bucket full of memories.
SsS were a band that perfectly defines the 80's: electro punk beats, heavy marketing, similar songs structure etc..
Martin Degville and Tony James (ex Generation X) have set up a well done package mixed with an outrageous look for that period.
Sex, technolgy, scandals...this is the Sputnik Generation!

Welcome

You know, there are a lot of music  blogs out there filled with music, good music and bad music.
The Skinflutes nest is intended to be filled with really good 80's music, New Wave, Garage Revival, Psychobilly  good ol' Rockabilly, and a pinch of modern Jangle Pop.(I hope so).
80's heavily influenced my life and 80's music is still the best one around. Foget about 90's an 2K shit.
80's where a period of excess, where everything was possible and there were no limits at all.
The music of that period reflects those feelings, musician discovered synth, went post punk,embraced Reagan hedonism and so on. But it was also a darker decade for music; all kids problem where represented by obscure and non mainstream bands.
The Skinflutes nest task is to let you discover all of this and more. I hope you'll like it

Cheers
