Week 3 of the 5-week feature on the Amsterdam label Music From Memory and subsidiary Second Circle, on Gulls Window Circus. This week we go from MFM031 to MFM046. Many highlights, probably the ones that will stick most will be the unknowns, but the well-known artists make quality appearances too, such as the Mule Musiq artist Kuniyuki, Dam-Funk recording as Garrett, and Jonny Nash, who runs the retrospective-worthy Melody As Truth label. As I write this, the track Amerikan Dread is running through my head…

First in a 5-week series covering the Netherlands label Music From Memory and its subsidiary, Second Circle. We will hear a track from every release on both labels, played by catalog number, starting with Music From Memory and its 54 releases. The label is usually pigeonholed as ambient or new age, but as you will hear, many flavors are represented as we travel the waters. Today we start with MFM001 (Leon Lowman) and make it up to MFM017 (Richenel).

The eighth and final show in the Gulls Window Circus ‘Double punk’ series. This week starts with Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments and ends with Zoom. Today I offer you private press punk rock by Tommy Gun & The Hit Squad, Athen GA band The Violets with their immortal I Hate The Grateful Dead. NYC band The Victims were the only band ever on Golden Disc Records (except for The Speedies). The Victims 7″ was the only non-Misfits release on Plan 9. Twisted Nerve were a Scottish band, kind of like their Christian Death. Zoom had pre-Viletones and Diodes members. Some songs you’ve GOT to listen to: Blue Suede Shoes, Never Say Goodbye, Lost And Found, Who Knows, Simon Says, Schoolgirl Hitch Hiker. As Dead Boys would say, all this and more – good show today!

The seventh show in the 8 part Gulls Window Circus series ‘Double punk’ which plays two songs from each band, with two bands in a set. This week starts with The Shadracks and ends with 39 Clocks. Hearts still weep with SLF’s Tin Soldiers (at least mine). Fun to hear the first recordings of The Sound (who would expect them in a punk show). Sort Sol fans will enjoy hearing that Copenhagen band as Sods. The Shadracks take on sacred territory by covering Buzzcocks Boredom. Dutch band Speedtwins soup up My Generation like no one else except, maybe Patti Smith. Speaking of New York, Manic Panic founders Tish & Snooky are heard as Sic F*cks. Hit to the other coast and enjoy The Summer Hits, Starcrawler, Team Dresch, and So What.
