Supersnazz - I Wanna Be Your Love. Lucky Records 7" LKY005.

An all-female Japanese guitar band who took their name from the The Flamin' Groovies' first LP. Does this stuff get any more 'niche'? Probably. They released their first LP on Sub Pop and their second on Sympathy For The Record Industry. More? The two songs on the flipside are, of course, Sonics covers. And now? Well, not now, but more recently they ceased being an all-female band and feature Shoe on drums and Marky on guitar. That's Shoe from Teengenerate. And Marky, who is no doubt some Japanese kid who yearns for The Ramones. Enjoy.

Various Artists - Oh Canaduh. Lance Rock LP. LRR-19.

No image, so here's a 'video' of UJ3RK5 doing the original version of 'Eisenhower and The Hippies' which Man Or Astro-Man cover almost note for note. Oh Canaduh is an LP of 90s surf, punk and garage rock bands covering Canadian New Wave Hits of the late 70s and early 80s. What makes it better than so many 'cover' LPs is that rather than just looking at one act - Link Wray or Sam The Sham, for example - where the choice can get a bit thin, there is an opening up and the opportunity to cover one band's best song. And there are a lot of best songs on this brilliant record. I'd love to hear all the originals.
