Moody, doomy, & gloomy

[Mr.Segment]

He's had an off condition copy of "I've Got Power To Fly" which may have sold by now.

.

It sold. I unsuccessfully bid on it.

 

[Lee de Parade]

A little Play With Fire-sounding, but still plenty of its own identity. At 2:16 someone goes (very laid-back) haywire with a dime on the strings, making it click and tweet like a chick in space.

The Fortels - She

 

[Frantic]

Curious to see where the Next Step 45s will rank on the updated G1000 list. While there (apparently) have been a couple of Graveyard 5s turning up in recent years, I'm not aware of a single copy of "I Said No" or "I've Got Power To Fly" having been found/offered. Mr. Frantic?

I sold two copies of Power and one copy of Rivers in the last 5 years and a copy of Rivers to BossHoss a little before that. Had a chance to buy a mint copy of Rivers the day of the UP FROM THE GRAVE cd release party but I got caught up in the moment and forgot to buy the 45. Never did end up getting it.

 

[Hicksville Hogwash]

This has all 3 dwarfs to me -

The first garage 45 I ever brought from a shop in Camden, London in the 80's. Still gets lots of plays here when I am pissed off.

I like your choices Lee... as usual.

 

[Mr.Segment]

This one is one of my all time biggest favourites. It´s got a unique, catchy hook. Stunning vocals.

 

[Hicksville Hogwash]

Depressing as hell - love it.

"I was born on a Saturday,
A bad time to plant your seed,
the only thing my father said,
another mouth to feed"

"...misery piled around my mothers door"

it just makes my heart ache, this kid means it.

 

[Hicksville Hogwash]

Abusive fuck of a father. Scares the shit out of me.

Is there anymore songs as graphic or emotionally aggressive as this. Beats Eric Burdon/Animals Working Class Zero misery styled stuff.

 

[Lee de Parade]

A bit more uptempo, but still on the moody side of life. Really crisp track, almost makes ya think of Nerves and other spartan powerpoppers.

The Hucksters - It's So Hard

 

[Lee de Parade]

Halfway into this song I was seemingly so moved by this solemn hypnotic piece. It turned out I had held my breath for 1.30 mins. Smothering sounds.

The Living Children - Now It's Over

 

[Hicksville Hogwash]

Stumbled over this one Lee. Right up this depress-o-doomsville street.

 

[Lee de Parade]

Aaah, excellent mood, Hicks!

 

[Lee de Parade]

Shit, now I gotta find a copy of Wyld Sides!! Awesome sounds Hicks!! ARGH!!!

 

[The Swyne]

The Living Children - Now It's Over

I remember years ago when I first heard this track on garage beat '66, I thought to myself, "What the hell is this doing on a garage compilation?". It's a great track though, don't get me wrong!

The Fortels - She

This one rules! I love the SINGER

 

[The Swyne]

John Brown's Bodies - Out Of My Mind

Another GREAT one!

 

[The Swyne]

Here's one that I feel is appropriate for your thread David.

 

[axel]

This is the first one that comes to my mind when I think of gloom 'n' doom:

 

[Myskatonic]

Girls can be gloomy too. Lyn & the Invaders is a great one, but here's the desolate Tresa Leigh. She really is upset !

 

[Lee de Parade]

Doomier than Black Sabbath and gloomier than the Zombies. A true shocker.

 

[Andreas]

and thanks Frantic for making it available on the excellent Up From The Grave comp.

Speaking of which, will this ever see a vinyl release? A 2LP would be a dream come true...

That is the one I really need to release on vinyl. Gatefold with lots of photos.
