Great Paisley review. One major omission is the Rainy Day Project, in which members of the Rain Parade, Bangles and Three O'Clock team up for a jam session with their favorite songs. Also, I'd argue that early Game Theory belongs to the PU. There were also a number of smaller banda like Eyes of Mind.
Just subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much for this! You reminded me of so many bands that I have actually forgotten. I'm looking forward to checking out you other videos!
Thank you for the kind words, John! So glad you are also an avid fan of the paisley underground! The 80s might be my favorite decade for music...so much diversity. Not all of it was good, but so much of it was! Peace.
Great retrospective! I love Jangle Pop too and I recognize most of the bands you highlighted, but I’m happy to learn about new ones. I wish I had your collection.
Thanks so much for finding my jangle pop series! It was a fun one. I might have another jangle pop update to do in a few months! Glad I was able to introduce you to some new ones! Always adding to the collection! Cheers.
Thanks so much, Emma! Glad you liked the series. I only was able to cover a small portion of this fantastic, enjoyable genre! Just saw a new pic of your puppy on Facebook. So cute! Take care.
I have enjoyed your series on “Jangle Pop”. This Paisley Underground segment is my favorite. These are the bands that interest me the most in this genre. Especially The Rain Parade. They are definitely on my radar now. I know you have researched and did your homework to make these presentations knowledgeable and entertaining. Thank you 🙏. This year has been so hard for everyone and has affected all of us in sometimes unexpected ways. I love that “E.L.E.” mind set. Beautiful.
Thanks, Topper. The paisley underground movement was my favorite, too! We just love those 60s vibes! I can see you digging Rain Parade the most for sure! I love your content and hope to actively comment in the future, but for specific reasons, I'm just not comfortable leaving comments at the moment. I hope you understand. Yes, E.L.E., my friend. Thanks for always spreading positivity in a dark world. Cheers.
I just stumbled across your video and OMG, where have you been? I can't stop listening, are you my sister from another mother? Love The three oclocks! Ill be searching for your other paisley underground videos. Thanks for doing what you do. A breath of fresh air.
Always enjoyable to see your sub genre collection of albums. I wish I knew the genre names when I was living through it. I guess I wasn’t paying attention. Seriously so good Hanna ✌🏽
Hey Mazzy! Thanks! Once I dig a particular subgenre - watch out...the collection will grow and the bank account will shrink! The paisley underground was pretty obscure, even during that time. I know you're a fan of the Dream Syndicate, too! Cheers, and enjoy your Friday night!
Just found your videos. You have great taste in music! You do a great job with these videos. I know and like a lot of the bands you talk about but you're still turning me on to new bands. Keep up the good work!
Eric, thank you!!! I had a response for you earlier but then lost it!! I appreciate your kindness and I have fun with these genre deep dives for sure! Hope you are having an excellent and relaxing weekend! ✌️😀
Hi Kris. Hope all is well with you and Marissa. Glad you dug the jangle pop series. Someone told me the Verlaines may have a new album coming out soon. I need to look into that. Cheers!
Great video Hanna. Glad to see you cap off the series. You showed a lot of albums that I need to check out. The only one that I have is a Long Ryders album. Great video and thanks for making this series. Cheers.
Hey Karl! Thanks for watching! Oh yes, I think I remember you showing State of Our Union from the Long Ryders before. So much music out there! I appreciate you dropping a message. Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Wow, good memory! Yes I have State of our Union. I have seen the 3'oclock albums kicking around but I didnt know what they were all about. So I will have to keep an eye out for them. I listened to The Long Ryders right after watching this video. Cheers.
Right on, I remembered! Yeah the Three O’clock albums are semi-easy to find. I’m still hoping to find one more at a record show in the future...whenever the shows happen again! Damn Covid!
Thanks so much for the interest in my video! That Bangles first EP is worth seeking out. My friend just found a copy while out digging last weekend! Cheers!
Hanna- another fantastic jangle pop video. I hope there’s a part 4 sometime down the road. So cool to hear your intro song by Erik Voeks. He’s a really talented pop singer songwriter. You should definitely check out his two albums (CD only) both essential listening! As for paisley underground 3 o’clock and Rain Parade are my favorites and like you I prefer early Bangles/Bangs. I’ve been a fan of the Connells for a long time. Saw them live at a small venue in early 90’s. Good to hear they’re working on new material. Guad Diary is another favorite, I love side 1 of Jamboree. I bought two Jazz Butcher CD box sets in the past few years, a bit hit or miss but some really good songs on those. I have the first two volumes of Twelve String High comps and enjoy them. Look forward to more of your videos and hope you’re well. -Matt
Hey Matt! Thanks for the kind words, my fellow jangle pop aficionado! I'm sure I will have jangle pop collection updates in the future! I'm always buying. :-) I will definitely check out Erik Voeks' offerings. Let's hope we get that new Connells album. It was only this year that I became a big fan of theirs! I was thinking the same thing about side 1 of Jamboree - that's definitely the winning side! Ah, I didn't know those Jazz Butcher CD box sets existed. Off to do some research on those now! Hope you're doing well, too! Not sure you're too into shoegaze, but I know you dig some power pop, so I'll have some power pop updates soon, too! Enjoy your weekend!
I saw the Connells as a kid when they played a street fair here in Greensboro! They sadly never seemed to get their due- as contemporaries of R.E.M., I think people just had their ‘moody Southern jangle pop’ band mentally slotted off, although they were of course quite different. Then they had a breakout in Europe in the ’90s with with ‘74-‘75, and did a European tour, which they apparently hated. Sometimes it’s better to be playing for a small, dedicated fanbase than to crowds who only know you for one song.
Hey Hanna! I'm happy to see you back to finish off your Jangle Pop series. I appreciate you defining what The Paisley Underground is because although I knew the term I've never really known what it was. I'm always learning stuff watching your videos! Everybody Love Everybody! I love that and I try to. ☺️
Hi Bill! It was nice to make a video and cap off this series. So glad to hear my videos are somewhat informative. That's my goal! You definitely adhere to the ELE mentality and we all appreciate how genuine and kind you are! Thanks, Bill! I need to catch up on your latest!
Thanks so much for checking out my paisley episode! Glad you dig that excellent Rain Parade LP, too! I come back to it quite frequently! Superb! Take care.
Great episode! Nice primer for the uninitiated but lots of juicy details for people already versed in the genre. That's my favorite Woodentops LP too. PS: I appreciated the Shattuck shout-out. Gone too soon.
Thanks so much! Tried to bring this series full-circle, but no doubt there will be other video updates here and there! R.I.P. Kim! Thanks for watching!
You closed down your Jangle Pop 'holy trinity' series wonderfully, Hanna (although, never close the door on a Part 4, ha ha). As usual, so many bands you presented are lifetime favorites of mine, and so many great memories from my nostalgic college radio days, especially The Rain Parade, Dream Syndicate, Green on Red, The Connells (love this band), The Jazz Butcher, The Woodentops (got to see them live). Love to see a copy of the new Fontaines D.C. over your shoulder. It's been my most played album since its release and will no doubt be in my top 20 for 2020. Also, loved your intro song, so thanks much for sharing the compilation it came from. I definitely need to pick both of those up. Thanks again for all three informative videos on all things 'Jangle Pop.' I both learned things and took a nice trip back in time. That indeed is a nice combination heading into the weekend. Can't wait for the Shoegaze update. That genre is even more in my wheelhouse--if that's possible?
Hi Stephen! Thank you! So glad you thought I wrapped up this series well with this installment! Oh no, I wouldn't dare rule out a part 4...although it may just be collection updates from now on! So glad you noticed the Fontaines D.C. album over my shoulder. Yeah, it's been in constant rotation for me, too! Love their moody sound. 2020 has been absolutely stellar for music, has it not?! Usually I don't pay too much attention to new releases, but wow, this year is impressing me. Ah, very cool you got to see the Woodentops live! I'm thrilled you're looking forward to the shoegaze update, too! I'll be showing old and new! :-)
Hey Hanna! I'm from Brazil and I met your channel through research on The Bangles. I love Bangles and have on CD their albums All Over The Place (1984), Different Light (1986), Everything (1988) and Greatest Hits (1990) from Columbia/Sony Music. I like this garage rock, Jangle Pop and I'm still going to have this Ladies and Gentlemen:The Bangles! (2016) 'cause this type of CD is only imported in Brazil. By the way, great video. You get one more subscriber.
Hi Alencar! So glad you love the Bangles, too! Really love their early material the most. I hope you can get the Ladies and Gentlemen compiliation! I appreciate you subscribing, too! Take care.
Good to see another video Hanna and especially one focused on a type of music. Good timing too as I bought the first Dream Syndicate album last week as my introduction to Paisley. That first Rain Parade album could well be next.
Hi Paul! Thanks for dropping by! Yes, I wanted to deliver on my promise to do a 3rd jangle pop video! Congrats on getting Days of Wine and Roses as your paisley intro. Fantastic! Emergency Third Rail Power Trip would definitely be the next essential pickup! You're off to an awesome start! Cheers!
And the education in these sub genres just keeps on continuing . I , like Mr. Maslov , was oblivious to these various categories while I was living through these eras . Well , I guess that you can teach an old dog new tricks . Many thanks for opening my eyes to a lot of new music .
I guess I was an avid follower of anything AllMusic put out...their resource books on rock as well as their website. They broke everything down for me and I latched onto the subgenres! So glad my channel has been informative. I guess I learn a lot from others and then try to pass on the passion and education!
Just some extra history. Green on Red started in Tucson as The Serfers playing at Pearl's Hurricane Bar. I was playing in local bands at about the same time in Tucson. There was also later The Giant Sandworms (later shortened to Giant Sand) in Tucson.
Love this video and all the memories came flooding back of those long far off days of The Paisley Underground, great times for me. I can still remember having to get Sixteen Tambourines by The Three O' Clock and All over The Place by The Bangles on import (I'm from Cool Britannia) and we, at the time couldn't get those two albums anywhere. I have a lot of what you have been showing us, on CD. Going to have to do some serious crate digging to find them all on vinyl. I do have the 3x4 comp and that is a great collection of covers, and I'd recommend everyone to get a copy of that. So thank you so much for sharing all of this with us here in you tube land.....
Well done Hanna. I never really concentrated on genres too much. If I like the music I listen to it. But its nice to see what categories some of the alternative bands that I heard on terrestrial radio and also bought fit into. There is one band that you and I showed Miracle Legion that I guess would fit into this genre as well. Some of the bands like G Diary, Green on Red and the Dream S definitely bring back memories of the eighties. Well done Hanna. As always~ Rob/Boston
Hi Rob! I'm nerdy and weird with categorizing my music, I know. Blame Allmusic.com! Haha! Ah, Miracle Legion. Sadly, I have overlooked them, even though I have heard about them before. Now I have written them down to sample more later. Thanks for giving me the nudge! The 80s were such a fine decade for music! I appreciate you coming back and leaving a comment, Rob. Hope to see a new video from you soon.
Hi Hanna, I've been collecting records since 1970 when I was 14 years old and not too long ago was arrogant enough to think that there wasn't much I hadn't heard of and new to discover but you are constantly proving me wrong about that. Thanks for the video. It's a nice distraction from the smoke and fire currently around here.
Hi Mike! Please stay safe on the west coast. Really scary with all the fires. My cousin lives in L.A. and she may be flying back to Omaha for a bit. Out of curiosity, how large is your record collection if you've been buying since you were 14?! I try to pare down my collection a few times a year! Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert My vinyl collection is around 1800 records. I've pared it down three different times and quit collecting them for a few years in the 90's when they faded away and into the 2000's before making a comeback. I went waaaay overboard on collecting cd's though. lol Some friends and family think I went way overboard on vinyl too. The fires came close enough that I was a little worried on Wednesday but it looks better now. Though they warn us to stay ready just in case conditions change for the worse. Saw the sun this morning for the first time since last Tuesday morning so the smoke has thinned a little. Got a few photos. Sun turns an awesome shade of pink/orange when seen through smoke.
Hi Mike. I'm so glad you were able to get a glimpse of the sun again. Really hoping you guys will get a break. 1,800 records - wow! It's good to pare the collection down to what you know you'll revisit more than once. I have plenty of CDs as well, hehe!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Hi Hanna. From your videos, I'm thinking you have about 3000-plus records. lol. Have you seen the book, 'Dust & Grooves'? Full of people and their collections and stories. (Have I asked you that already? lol) Great coffee table book!! Certainly gets me all fired up to add records whenever I look at it.
Hey there, Jason! Good to see you pop in! Yeah, I need to check for a fresh update on a potential new one from the Connells. Would be sweet, right? Rock on!
Hey Hanna, great to see someone showing so much of the music that I love. I own at least one album by just about every artist that you showed. I love you and your channel and one of these days I have a lot of catching up to do. Be safe and take care...
Hi again, Tim! Really miss your TH-cam videos. Hope you'll be back soon. You are a kindred spirit of all things power pop/jangle pop! I'm so glad you liked this series! I'll have a massive power pop update to do after I do a shoegaze video or two. Hope you are staying safe as well! Peace.
Hello Hanna; Hope you are staying safe & feeling well. Very informative video, well presented & explained. Always nice to learn about new groups & genre's of music that were not on the immediate radar. Not to mention the song samples. The Bangles on colored vinyl looks good. The Pandoras with their take on the Shadows of Knight Gloria LP. Right down to the colors. Nice 3 part series on Jangle Pop, Paisley Underground. Like the message of positivity concerning proper decorum in the Vinyl Community. Hopefully everyone involved will begin to understand, & hear the music. We as a network would be taking a giant step forward in the right direction. As always, your friends. Tina & Pat!~
"the immediate radar" Here in the UK "Immediate" and "Radar" are two very collectable record labels, and you manage to squeeze in a clever, cryptic reference to both of them in your comment! 🙄
Hey there, Tina and Pat! A joy to see a comment from you, as always! That Pandoras cover shot is great, isn't it? Yeah, nice tribute to Shadows of Knight. Glad you agree with the message at the end as well. It's been pretty disgusting and disheartening what has happened in this "community" as of late. Music prevails. Enjoy your weekend!
Always loved The Bangles but hadn't heard of quite a few of the others you mentioned. Am going to check some of them out but start with The Rain Parade based on your high recommendation. Appreciate your videos. Take Care.
Thanks so much ! I’m thrilled you enjoyed this installment of this series. Starting with the Rain Parade is a solid choice. 😉👌👍 I appreciate the comment! Be well!
Hi there, Diego! I really appreciate you watching my jangle pop series. It was really fun for me to do. I continue to show jangle pop on occasion in my finds videos! Happy spinning, my friend! Argentina seems like a beautiful country!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Hi my friend, I admire your knowledge, you are fabulous. I will watch other videos. And yes ... Argentina is a beautiful country with corrupt politicians. Kisses in the distance (sorry for my english)
I'm always interested in your jangle pop series! You know the genre like no other! Wow...look at that Rain Parade orange variant! I never knew that The Bangles fell into this category! I'm loving all the sound samples you're providing! I've really loved this series! I have many bands I have written down to check out! Yes we all are hear to talk music! I look forward to the shoegaze video that I assume is posted by now! Pandoras, Green On Red, and so many to explore!
For some reason this ended up in my comments held for review section! Early Bangles definitely are jangle pop! Cool, right? Yep, 2 shoegaze videos posted since this one! Cheers!
Hi Hanna, great to see you promoting the Three O'Clock, one of my favorite early-80s bands. One of the best shows I've ever seen was them opening for REM, a perfect pairing for the summer of 1985. They were touring Arrive Without Traveling and Fables Of The Reconstruction respectively - if you're not familiar with Arrive it's worth checking out IMO, a little slick compared to 16 Tambourines maybe but still unmistakably the Three O'Clock. Unrelated: the Under The Covers series by Susannah Hoffs and Matthew Sweet (how's that duo for jangle-pop lineage?). Three albums faithfully covering some of their favorite songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Their version of Bell Bottom Blues (Derek & The Dominoes) is totally killer.
Marichen, hey there! Hope the sound clips helped give an idea of the genre. Glad you liked the video. I appreciate you being a friend and stopping by! :-)
Morning Hanna☕️🎶👋🏻been away (outside biking n tennis) ...ok I’m gonna be still and listen n learn....thank you for all you do and who you are sista...✊🏻🎶✊🏻🎶Lis
Hi Lis! Biking and tennis - perfect time of year for both! We just started cooling down here. I've mainly been running, but I want to finally get a bike by spring. Much love and thank you for your kindness as always. Us VC sisters need to stick together! E.L.E. indeed!
Great video Hannah! Dream Syndicate is a great band. Ah you showed Bangles All over the place! Used to have it. Luckily I recorded what I wanted for my library. Yep, Hero takes a fall was a keeper! Love that song!! take care my friend😊😁
Hi Max! Thanks for watching and leaving me this comment. Yes, that first Bangles record is incredible indeed! My friend just found their first EP on vinyl yesterday while digging! Enjoy your Sunday and spin some good tunes!
I sure do love that Jangle Pop sound. I am trying to memorize these band names so when I am out and about I can pick some up. I do like Thr Bangles but never see the early stuff. You have a wonderful collection of this genre. When I hear it, it just instantly lifts my spirits. Great to see you! ❤️ Take care.
Thanks, Melinda! Jangle pop is a very likable and upbeat (most of the time) subgenre! Very cool that you're gonna keep an eye out for some of these. I hope you did some record digging in Colorado. What a fun state! Catch ya later!
Love that first Three O’Clock record. Regret selling mine a while ago. Game Theory is so underrated. I’m in the minority and tend to reach for Crashing Dream more than Third Rail. Not familiar with any pre-I.R.S. Bangles stuff. Looks rad. I think I heard they used to be called The Bangs but got them confused with a 90s act. I really like the current Dream Syndicate stuff. Goes back to more of the psych roots. Long Ryders yes yes yes!!! Love them so much and another band who had a great new album last year. Green On Red is definitely not the easiest band to find in the wild. Love Gravity Talks and finally this year got into their later stuff. Fun & Games by The Connells is a scorcher. Seen that Woodentops around but never grabbed it. I’ll have to get that next time. Guadalcanal Diary, one of the best for sure.
I just realized I wasn't subbed to you before. Argh. That has been corrected! So cool you are a fellow fan of Game Theory as well! I pick up their LPs when I see them! I actually know of a few people who prefer Crashing Dream more than the early psych stuff from Rain Parade, so no biggie! All fabulous music! Yes, the Bangles used to be called the Bangs early on! I need to get on the bus with the new Dream Syndicate offerings. Time for me to sample finally! You're right about Green on Red being pretty elusive in the wild. I have only seen Gravity Talks twice, and I do a lot of digging! I hope you find Giant from the Woodentops! I see other albums by them, but not Giant too often! Cheers!
I always learn about bands I know nothing about from watching your videos. Close lobsters?? I may have to check out the new CD cuz I have no idea who they are , but a little bit you played has got me interested. Thank you for sharing all this music with us my friend godspeed and be safe
Hey Hanna! Great to see you back to continue this series. I just traded in my two albums by The Three O’Clock. I just wasn’t spinning them. I do have a few of their songs on playlists that I stream, though. I would’ve sent you Arrive Without Traveling, but I thought you already had it. 😞 I’m very focused to paring down albums by certain artists and specific genres that I really like but don’t feel compelled to own everything. I have an OG of Emergency Third Rail Power Trip that I picked up before I even really knew what “paisley underground” was. It’s amazing and I’ll never let go of that one. I also have The Day of Wine and Roses and Opal’s Happy Nightmare Baby. Both essentials in my book. The one band that I’m missing and would like something by is early Bangles. They were garage badasses. I will be mentioning The Connells in a future video on more NC artists. You do such a great job with these genre-focused series and it’s great to see how your collection has grown over time. Hope all is well. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers! ✌🏻
Hi Jon! No worries on the Three O'clock LP! (Don't you know that women are now forbidden from receiving VCLT from any men in this community?! It may mean that we are trying to date the sender, or we are using our "feminine wiles"..🙄). SMH. Can you see my eyes rolling?! I'm paring down my collection, too. Getting rid of a lot of classic rock LPs I just don't need. I think radio overkill has killed some of my love for classic rock. I'm just keeping the essentials. I come across "All Over the Place" from the Bangles somewhat frequently. Let me pick that up next time I see it so I can send it to you. I have something else in mind I can send to you, too. I look forward to your chat about the Connells! Fantastic group and they need more recognition! Cheers, my friend!
Aloha, stumbled on you with your first jangle pop vid and subscribed. Knew most of them, but not this paisley aspect minus The Bangles. Thought Jamboree was Guadalcanal Diary’s best album and had completely forgotten The Connells . Many mahalos.
Hi Adam! Aloha! I'm so glad you found me from my first jangle pop video. It's been a fun series. Isn't it cool how the Bangles were part of the paisley underground? Jamboree is a terrific album from Guadalcanal Diary for sure..especially side 1! You have excellent taste in music! Let's hope for that new Connells album soon! Peace.
Opal was his band between Rain Parade and Mazzy Star. Kendera Smith was the singer. Her solo record is really good also. Sorry I and commenting so much I just found you on the VC and I have the same taste in music. How about Mansun r& the Libertines good Brit rock
Opal were great. Too bad I haven't found that album yet! No problem on all the comments, I welcome that! Just thrilled you are liking my channel so far! I like the Libertines.
New to the channel and loving it. If you like R.E.M I would highly recommend Miracle Legion, it’s spin off band Polaris, and lead singer Mark Mulcahy’s solo work. All perfect Jangle Pop!
Cool vid! I have the Bangles first EP on vinyl. I have that Dream Syndicate Days Of Wine and Roses album on cd. I just have to spin it more. Lol. Take care!
Hi Chris! Oh, super nice that you scored the first Bangles EP on wax! I think I have only seen it once while out digging. Keep those CDs and vinyl spinnin'! Hehe! :-) Thanks so much for the comment! Happy Friday night!
I got to see Rain Parade with Winter Hours and Let's Active at a show at the Ritz NYC (the original one downtown) July 18, 1986, a true omnibus type show, it seemed to go on, with intermissions, for about four hours, or so it seemed. Rain Parade I didn't really know, but they did a great set, and I recall hearing them play "No Easy Way Down" which I had heard on college radio around that time. A totally hypnotic, and mesmerizing band. The Let's Active set was hilarious, bracing, full of goofs by the encores, including Deep Purple covers and stuff. Winter Hours got opening slot, and it was sure something to finally get to see those guys live, and they sounded easily better live than on record. I was right up front stage middle or left, to my vague recollection. Didn't get home until like 3 a.m.
"2x4" by Guadalcanal Diary is one of my favorite records (the CD version has a bonus track of them singing "And Your Bird Can Sing"). Speaking of The Bangles, have you ever heard Continental Drifters? Members include Vicki Peterson, Susan Cowsill, and Peter Holsapple. They put out three very good albums. And on a side note, you bear a striking resemblance to Amy Poehler (and I mean that as a compliment!). Another great video, Hanna!
Right on about the Continental Drifters - I just responded to another comment mentioning them. I have only heard Vermilion and really liked it. I don't know why I've slept on checking out more. Maybe because I'm obsessed with too much music, hehe! Ooo, I'm gonna be keeping my eyes peeled for the CD version of 2x4 from GD! Thank you for the heads up on the bonus track! As a side note, I really like Amy Poehler! Thanks, my friend!
Thanks so much for watching and for leaving me a comment! St. Vincent is a very talented artist. I really like her Strange Mercy album! Glad you dig the Pandoras! Peace.
Hi Hanna! Just watched your Jangle Pop trilogy. Well done, it was a great overview of a group of bands I'm very familiar with, and some that were completely new to me. I love it when people show music which goes beyond the usual VC fare. You clearly put a lot of thought into these videos, and I really appreciate that. I know how easy it is to fall down musical rabbit holes, I've done that many times, most recently with the UK Pub Rock scene. Here a few bands you might like the jangle of...as if you need any more recommendations. Excuse me if you're already familiar with these. Bristol's The Blue Aeroplanes jangled enough that they might be up your street. Stary Eyed & Laughing's eponymous debut from 1974, is an early Jangle Pop/Power Pop record. It kind of bridges the gap between The Byrds and the 80s jangling. Scotland's (again!) Cosmic Rough Riders had some jangle to their blissed out sunshine psych pop, which you may well like. Cheers - Hedley
Hi Hedley! I'm thrilled you stopped by! Thanks for the comment. My three favorite rock subgenres are jangle pop, power pop, and shoegaze, so I do focus on those a lot which not too many VC channels showcase, I guess. I only talk about what I'm passionate about. As far as UK pub rock, maybe one of the only bands I have in my collection of that particular scene is Dr. Feelgood. I'll have to investigate more! Ohhh, how did I forget to mention the Blue Aeroplanes? Shame on me. I actually own Spitting Out Miracles on vinyl and then Beatsongs on CD. Darn! There will be future jangle pop collection updates in the future and maybe I will finally mention them in one of those. Thank you for the reminder! I always forget to mention something in a video! I have sampled Starry Eyed and Laughing before based on someone's recommendation and have to agree that they are very Byrds-y and I truly enjoyed what I heard. Perhaps I will find that debut soon! Cosmic Rough Riders are definitely on my radar as well. They are up my alley after sampling a few songs a couple of months ago! Seems you are quite familiar with this excellent subgenre as well. That being said, I'm glad I was able to introduce you to a few new ones as well! :-) Cheers! Thank you!
Hey Hanna! Thanks for another really enjoyable video! I can never get enough jangle pop. Love that you concentrated on the Paisley Underground in this installment. Such a wonderful collection of bands in that scene. The Bangles album All Over The Place, The Dream Syndicate's The Days Of Wine And Roses, and The Rain Parade's Emergency Third Rail Power Trip have remained in my listening rotation for so many years now. Those albums never seem to get old. Btw, there's a great informative article on David Roback in a recent issue of Uncut Magazine (with George Harrison on the cover [January 2020]). He really was a special talent. Re The Bangles and The Dream Syndicate, my all-time favorite local NOLA band - The Continental Drifters - featured Vicki Peterson (Bangles) and Mark Walton (Dream Syndicate) along with Peter Holsapple (The d.B's as well as R.E.M. sideman). Was so cool to be able to see that band play live on practically a weekly basis for several years. Speaking of The Dream Syndicate's more recent releases, I definitely recommend checking out their 2017 album How Did I Find Myself Here? It's possibly their strongest collection of songs since Wine and Roses. And so glad you mention that 3x4 compilation - I love that album. Very cool that those classic Paisley Underground bands chose to do an album like that. The Connells - yes, love them! Their song "74-75" (off of Ring) is one of my favorite songs ever. Great news that they are preparing a new album! Thanks for the scoop on those Twelve String High comps - I was totally unaware of those. Will definitely check 'em out. I see The Junipers' "And In My Dreams" is on Vol 1. I recommend checking out The Junipers' song "They Lived Up In The Valley" off of Paint The Ground released in 2012. One of my favorite jangly tunes and I think you'd dig it. Looking forward to the shoegaze video!
Hi Ivan! Thank you for the extremely awesome comment! It's so great to connect with fellow jangle pop fans here. I agree, those 3 paisley underground albums you highlighted never get old! Classics that belong in every collection! You must be the 3rd or 4th person to give high praises and mention of the Continental Drifters. I have only heard Vermilion and loved it immensely upon first listen back in the mid-2000s. I don't know why I haven't checked out their others. For some reason they got pushed to the back burner, but I'm changing that now! Peter Holsapple remains a favorite artist and the Continental Drifters had quite the lineup! Crossing my fingers for that new Connells album! Hope you can get your hands on one or several of those 12 String High CDs. Wow, I have that Junipers tune on repeat while I respond to comments right now. Reminds me of the Notorious Byrd Brothers era. What a gorgeous song. Now I want to check out their Paint the Ground album you recommended! I appreciate you being here. Are you on Instagram? Would be fun to see what you are spinning on a daily or weekly basis! Cheers!
Nice video. Check out the Continental Drifters if you haven't yet. The band features Peter Holsapple, Susan Cowsill, and Vicki Peterson. Jangle pop/Americana. Cheers!
Hi David! Ah, thanks for the reminder about the Continental Drifters. I had totally forgotten to check out other albums...don't know why, since I absolutely love Peter Holsapple and that is quite the lineup indeed! I had sampled Vermilion a while ago and really dug it. Hope all is well! Cheers!
awesome video! I love that Rain Parade album. Arrive Without Travelling is the album to get from The Three O'Clock. I think their sound really culminated with that record.
I`m not a jangle-dude, but I know you have a broader taste, and I got rewarded ;) The garagerockers Pandoras were great. Stay strong and keep up the good work. Peace and cosmic love from 🇸🇪
Hello, Swedish viewer! I have some Swedish roots and would love to visit there someday when the world normalizes again! I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you dig the Pandoras! Rockin' ladies! Peace and love back to you!
Another cool installment, Hanna. I'm still getting caught up after recently discovering your channel....I sure wish more people knew about & wanted to hear this kind of music. But I also wish more people wanted to drive sports cars and the reality is, everyone seems to want to drive a pickup truck! That has nothing to do with music but it shows I'm a little out-of-step with the modern world, ha ha!
I'm so glad this series has introduced a few people to this genre/these bands. That was my goal. Just seems the majority of music was a bit more artistic and creative then. We didn't have our phones taking up much of our days!
One of the key moments for me was hearing Dreams So Real's early single "Everywhere Girl" on WNYU FM college radio: produced by Peter Buck, besides already being a huge R.E.M. fan and starting to hear bands like 10,000 Maniacs, Green on Red, The Three O'Clock, Let's Active, Long Ryders, and many of the jangle and Paisley Underground bands just coming up around that time, this song was another key track that just hit me right between the eyes hearing it on radio. Same with hearing Winter Hours' "Hyacinth Girl" on radio, once I heard these new bands, I knew we were in for several more waves of really great music, and that there was in fact, a counterweight to the more commercial, annoying, trendy, ephemeral and gimmicky side of 80s pop and rock music (and dance music). That's when I started to look beyond the usual classic rock schlock at Record World here on LI and make train trips into NYC to do some serious record shopping. I was still in high school, so the clubs and bars were not in my realm of experience. The dance clubs here weren't gonna play these bands, anyway, honestly.
Professor Hanna, Really enjoyed Chapter 3 in your Home Schooling Course on J-Pop, The Paisley Underground. I was running some record shops in SoCal ( Hollywood, Costa Mesa and San Diego) in 82/83... and it was really cool watching these bands/scene emerge. I sold over a 1000 pieces from my collection in 98 and now when I see cool reminders, like your videos, go to listen and discover those records and are gone...I just want to scream. But it will be fun looking for them again! Thank you for all the work you put into your tubes...they are rockin!
Hey there! Haha, I'm chuckling because you called me Professor Hanna!🤓 I do get pretty nerdy about my beloved subgenres! Wow, it must have been painful to sell that many pieces from your personal collection back in the late 90s. Argh! Luckily some of these paisley underground gems are easy to find...especially with some recent decent reissues! Certainly is fun to hunt for jangle pop albums! The search is the most fun! Really appreciate you stopping by and leaving a kind comment! Thank you!
Well! I'm still a relative newcomer to your channel, and so I've just completed watching your jangle pop series. I consider myself pretty in-the-know, and I have a lot of the music you featured, but I don't mind admitting I learned more than a little watching these, for which I'm grateful. All the talk about Mitch Easter reminded me of another jangle artist, Shalini Chatterjee, who was, among other incarnations, in Vinyl Devotion and her self-named band Shalini. Easter produced much of her work, and I believe they were even married for a time. If you haven't already, she's worth checking out. Looking forward to catching up on your other vids, and, of course, the next new one. Hope all's well. And thanks!!
Hi Jerry! I'm thrilled you took the time to check out my jangle pop series. I'll have to check out Shalini Chatterjee as I'm completely unfamiliar. Thanks for this suggestion as I learn more from my viewers than they learn from me, most likely! Cheers! Hope to see you at my next video (hopefully next week)!
Nicely done, Hanna. I bought "Gravity Talks" at a record store in Jamestown, NY back in 1985. I was in college and working the summer as a waiter at a hotel at Lake Chautauqua, NY. The songs from that album filled the staff quarters on many a night. I don't think Dan Stuart ever sounded as wigged-out again as he did on that album. Almost Roky Erickson-esque. "Snake Bit" and "Five Easy Pieces" are so cool.
Hi Bruce! I hope you are having a good week thus far! Dan Stuart does sound a little insane on Gravity Talks, but the sound of that album is so fantastic! Spot on with the Roky comparison! I'm glad you enjoyed this video! Cheers!
The Omaha Introvert Hanna, I thought you might appreciate that one of the other records that was popular that summer was Plasticland's "Wonder Wonderful Wonderland". I still dig "Flower Scene" with it's Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd/Byrds vibe. What a gem.
I really enjoyed this series. You have a very impressive vinyl collection. It's so fun to build the collection that reflects who you are. My collection has changed so many times since I started collecting records. It is becoming more diverse with jazz, blues and lots of psych. There is still mostly the stuff I grew up with, classic rock. I love girl groups like the Pandoras. Thanks for putting this series together. Bill
Thank you so very much, Bill. I really latch onto certain subgenres! Your collection does seem pretty diverse. I have culled some of my classic rock, but there's still plenty of it! Have to keep the necessities! Glad to hear you dig the Pandoras, too! Rock on and have a great weekend!
Hi Richard! Yeah, I like doing the deep dives into the genres that I love. I'm hoping these videos will be useful to people for years to come. Happy Friday night!
Loved your jangle pop trilogy! All three were fun and chock full of information and bands to go check out. The Rain Parade, The Three O’clock, Bangles and Dream Syndicate are all amazing bands. I’m need to give a listen 👂 to The Verlanes , The Pandoras and some of the others..... looking forward to your shoegaze video! Much love to you a fellow music lover ☮️💟☮️
Hi John! Love your comment! I appreciate your kind words on this series I put out. It was a lot of fun. I don't think I'll stop buying jangle pop anytime soon! I hope you enjoy sampling the Verlaines, Pandoras, and any others you were unfamiliar with! Your ears will thank you! Shoegaze soon! Thanks ,my friend!
Fabulous. Must get me some Three O'Clock, and a bunch of other things interest me here. I'm with you re: ETRPT -- an all-time favorite. Sad that David Roback left us. Completely arbitrarily (given the many many songs playing in our house/car), my 5-year old's favorite song is Tell Me When It's Over. So strange, but cool.
Hi there! Thanks for leaving me a comment! ETRPT is the most epic paisley underground record, right?! Yes, R.I.P. Dave Roback. Wow, your 5-year-old has amazing taste! Keep feeding his/her ears with fantastic bands! Jangle pop on!
So the Rain Parade, early Bangles, Pandoras, and the Dream Syndicate are on my list. Thanks so much for going into the definition of the Paisley Underground and how you described it made total sense. The Dream Syndicate is a band I have been aware of for a long time but have never bothered to sample. I sampled a bit more online after watching this video so I am definitely going to go after them. I know the samples are a pain to put in but boy are they ever worth it! The Long Ryders didn't sound too bad either. Green on Red and the Connells were also totally new. As with all of your videos, I learn so much. By the way, if you want to respond, which you don't need to, you can just say 'Thank you.' I want to save you some time. 🙂🙂🙂
Thank you! :-) The samples do take time to import and then shrink down to 10 seconds or less, but it's nice to give everyone a little taste of a band's sound. My goal is for people to learn something new about these excellent subgenres that are sadly overlooked! Hope you have an awesome weekend!
Have you reviewed or discussed the Oct rsd album Strum and Thrum? I know that you are already a fan of some of the bands on the compilation. Just interested in your thoughts.
Hi Eric! Thanks for watching. I haven't been able to find Strum and Thrum yet, but I'm keeping my eye out. I think it was just officially released. Can't wait to hear it! Jangle on! :-)
@@TheOmahaIntrovert also, where do you shop when in Portland? I am originally from there and still go back to visit family every year. I usually hit a few record stores when I am there. Music millennium being one.
One other artist who is one of my all-time favorites that never got his due. Jules Shear who's a long-time recording artist who wrote a ton of great, well-crafted tunes. He did 3 albums with his band Jules and The Polar Bears in the late 70s THe last one aptly called Bad for Business wasn't released until years later. He also recorded a number of superb solo records. He wrote a hit for the Bangles and Cyndi Lauper. If you haven't discovered yet, I highly recommend. Have a great weekend! Gary
Hey there, Gary! You know, I've seen a Jules & the Polar Bears LP a few times while out digging, but I never picked it up because I wasn't familiar. Now I know to sample these ahead of time so when I see again I may be interested in grabbing! Thanks for bringing Jules to my attention! :-)
Another awesome video! The vocals on the Pandoras sounds like Kat Bjelland. I'm totally going to check that out. Also where did you get those cool lights in the back?
Hi Andy! Weren't the Pandoras badass?! Glad you're digging them! Oh, I got my string lights off of Amazon. They were cheap and have different settings! Cheers and thanks for watching!
Hey, love your channel and this particular topic is wonderful. I'm a big Robyn Hitchcock fan too! I'm writing to thank you for reminding me to listen to some of these bands. I pulled out a cassette mix tape I made in the early 80s that featured a number of Rain Parade and Long Ryder songs. I have to get these on vinyl again, having sold many of my albums in the past and am starting to recollect. Having been from Norfolk, I'm curious if you can recommend any Omaha record stores other than Homer's, which I used to visit often while in high school. Stay cool!
Hi Tim. I'm thrilled you stumbled on this series I did! I had a lot of fun with it! I bet that cassette mix tape you had is incredible! So, unfortunately Omaha lost 3 good record stores last year - Ear Wax, Almost Music, and the Drastic Plastic store. Drastic Plastic now exists on the upper level of the Monster Club, but the vinyl selection is very limited and they have been closed during COVID. There is a new store in the Old Market called Vinyl Cup. I recommend you stop by. it's a nice new store. Also check out Record Benders and 402 Vinyl, both in Bellevue. If you want to venture out a bit farther for a road trip, Sioux Falls, South Dakota has some pretty amazing stores...especially Total Drag! I wish Omaha had more... Jangle on!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Thanks Hanna....I'm now in the Kansas City area and will definitely check these stores out the next time I'm in Omaha! Due to a vinyl sell in the 90s when CDs took the market, I need to recollect some jangly vinyl!
Hi Hanna. I'm going to be watching these three videos in reverse. I've been waiting for ages for someone to do a whole video on The Paisley Underground as it's a movement that's always mystified me a bit. I've never heard The Rain Parade, Dream Syndicate, Long Riders, Green on Red, never even heard of The Three O'Clock (but I love Jellyfish). Always on the look-out for Emergency Third Rail Powertrip by Rain Parade, but never see it around. Had no idea of the Mazzy Star connection. I only got my first Bangles record (All Over The Place) last year, shocking! Great video, cheers, James
Thanks so much, James. Good to hear from you. This was a really fun series to do. Ah, Jellyfish fans unite! I think I saw that you have Bellybutton on vinyl! Glad I was able to inform you a bit more on the paisley underground! Hope you find Emergency Third Rail on vinyl soon. Really is a gem! Cheers, and hope all is well!
Hi Hannah. I can't keep up with the sub genres to the sub genres, but that's what I count on you for lol. I always jot down a number of artists I'm not familiar with and want to investigate further when I watch your videos. I was a little kid in the sixties and The Byrds sound is in my DNA and I always enjoy it when I hear it filtered through newer artists. Till the next one ✌🌥⛅🌤🌞
Hi Robert! Consider me the subgenre girl of TH-cam! Ha! Oh yeah, what these jangle pop bands all have in common is that they're massively influenced by the Byrds and other 60s greats! It all goes back to the 50s and 60s anyway. ;-) I appreciate your comment and thank you for always being loyal to my channel! Enjoy the weekend!
I first heard 3 oclock and bangles from a guy from ca while in the army.I think he said bangles orig name was the bangs,i not sure if thats true or if they released anything under that name
I must be liveing under a rock the only groups that you listed off that I have heard of was Bangles and Dream Syndicate. but I do enjoy the videos that you make. you have a good day.
So glad I was able to introduce you to some other groups from this era, my friend! The 80s really churned out some fantastic bands! Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for watching.
Hi Nish! Thanks for watching my jangle pop series! Really glad you enjoyed them! Oh yes, I love the La's and Stone Roses. I have their CDs! Brilliant jangle! Take care. I'll have a power pop update after my favorites of 2020 video! Cheers!
Hi Hanna , Living in Los Angeles in the early 80's , I saw all these bands The Bangles , The Dream Syndicate , The Three O'clock , Green On Red , Rain Parade ... 16 Tambourines is my favorite by The Three O'clock with " A Day In Erotica " being the highlight along with the near hit " Jet Fighter " Opal put out the great Happy Nightmare Baby only to have singer Kendra bail mid tour. Her replacement , a teenager named Hope Sandoval ! Her & David decided to carry on as Mazzy 🌟. Fun Fact - Arthur Lee ✍ 5 string Serenade for Mazzy 🌟. In closing I used to date Gwynne from The Pandora's sister. Gwynne was dating Joe Nolte from The Last whose album " LA Explosion " is classic ! Seek it out on Bomp. As for her sister , she bailed on me for Tom Verlaine ! RIP Kim Shattuck. It was fun being young in Los Angeles in the 80's. All the best Hanna ! Shoegaze coming next 😎
David - hey there! It indeed is fascinating and incredible that you got to see all these bands in their heyday! Yeah, 16 Tambourines is a definite fave! Hope Sandoval was quite the replacement, eh? You had some very cool connections with the Pandoras and everything! Sorry about Gwynne's sister bailing on you for Tom Verlaine. L.A. was quite the place to be in the early 80s! You have some rad stories, my friend! Yep, shoegaze is coming! :-)
Great job, very informative. My favorite genre is the jangle pop / power pop. You would really enjoy Athens for that style. The record store lo yo yo stuff stocks those hard to find items. Wuxtry has some good stuff also. You probably already know these but didn’t hear them mentioned - Big Dipper , the reverbs “trusted woods”, the boys “ you make me shake”, the strand “you and me” , the stems, really 3rds “everyday everyday” , - off the top of my head ok I’ll stop now, thanks for the videos you do a good job !!
Hi Bo! I can never seem to find anything by the Stems. I love Big Dipper and have a 3-CD retrospective of theirs. I appreciate you watching and you have great taste! Thanks for being here!
The Omaha Introvert The picture looks more realistic. I got a supposedly 4k tv recently maybe that’s why. Are you gonna do a power pop 3? Or that’s it❤️
Welcome Back Hanna, you've been missed :) you haven't missed a beat here, wonderful stuff on this paisley underground deep dive. It seems that 1981 was a helluva year over in California!! I haven't heard every band here but of the ones I have I'd line up with you on Emergency Third Rail Power Trip as the pick and highlight of the alumni. That said, I've not heard the Three O clock (lovely of Digital Gramophone to send it thru) and the Pandoras. That's a nice idea for the RSD comp of bands covering each other, something you don't see very often at all. If I find that dream syndicate or green on red I'll be grabbing them. I like you showing the kindred spirits of paisley underground with the Jazz Butcher and the Verlaines. It got me thinking - I used to lump bangs like the Church and the Stems in there, but I'd probably be happier now keeping Paisley underground to the US (LA even) from 81-86. But as you show, there's a lot of kindred spirits in 80s psychedelia... now there's another niche video!! Fantastic stuff here, really enjoyed. And an excellent thought to leave on - we are all having a weird year together, but supporting each other thru it will make it easier. have a great weekend Hanna, take care :)
Dean, hey there! 1981 was magic for this movement, for sure! The 80s as a whole had it going on for incredible music, right?! Cheers that you agree that Emergency Third Rail from Rain Parade is the standout album/winner! Hope you like the Three O'clock after giving them a sample. Michael's vocals can maybe take a bit of getting used to, but they were brilliant - especially those early offerings! 3x4 is a unique and worthy collaborative comp! Ah, you mentioned the Stems...didn't the leader of the group recently pass away? :-( Their stuff is pretty rare. 80s psychedelia - oh yeah, that would be another idea for a video! As my collection expands more, that's one I'm keeping in mind and if I ever carry through, you get the shoutout! Oh yes, kindness and respect goes a long way. I"m thankful for you and my other pals in this community! You have a good weekend as well! Thank you!
Took you long enough!, but worth the wait. ;) I got a lot of the Paisley Underground stuff when it first came out. You may think that makes me lucky, but it also makes me old! LOL 'Emergency Third Rail Power Trip' is my 2nd favourite PU album. The first is one of the inevitable recommendations you know are coming. My absolute favourite PU album is The Dream Syndicate's second studio album - 'Medicine Show'. I absolutely adore that album, to the extent that I paid well over the odds for the first CD pressing after it was deleted. Of course, they remastered & reissued it not that long afterwards. Another one you must find is an obscure covers album, called 'Rainy Day'. Rainy Day were a sort of PU supergroup, consisting of David Roback, Dennis Mehaffey, Karl Precoda, Kendra Smith, Matt Piucci, Michael Quercio, Steven Roback, Susanna Hoffs, Vicki Peterson & Will Glenn. Kendra Smith did the cover art, which brings it into Mazzy's latest thread. They cover 'I'll Keep It With Mine', 'Flying On The Ground Is Wrong', 'Sloop John B.', 'Holocaust', 'I'll Be Your Mirror', 'Rainy Day, Dream Away' & others. I've always loved it. You have an amazing talent for reminding me about UK bands I used to love that I'd all but forgotten. I need to go on a Woodentops hunt! I await the Shoegaze update with great interest.
Hey Dave! Yes, this took me a bit! Thank you for your patience, my friend! So glad you also rate Emergency Third Rail Power Trip very highly! Wow, since you praise Medicine Show and rank it as #1, I'm gonna have to give it a more thorough sample! Isn't it frustrating to pay quite a bit for an album, only to have a reissue come out soon after?! I have done that! Ah, you reminded me about 'Rainy Day.' I think Matt, a friend who comments on here from time to time, also brought them up to me but I just forgot about them! I need to give it a listen because those are choice songs to cover! Hope you find the Woodentops! I'll be sampling the last album they recorded soon! Glad I was able to flip a switch about some of those brilliant UK bands, too! Shoegaze will be a fun video(s) to put together! Cheers!
The Bangles' All over the Place is a classic. They were the best all-girl band ever, outdoing the Go-Gos, which did make a good documentary just released. XTC did a wonderful homage to some ot those jangley bans on Dukesof the Stratrosphere. They used instruments that were used then to add to the authenticity.
Hi Gary! I definitely agree that the Bangles win over the Go-Gos, even though the Go-Gos were fab in their own right. I have that documentary recorded on the DVR and ready to watch! I have the Dukes of Stratosphear EP and full-length. Both are extraordinary! Not sure why I didn't mention them! I always forget something! Thank you for chiming in and watching! Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Thanks for such a quick response. Must say you do an exceptional job showcasing those underrated and under-appreciated bands. I should have known you have Dukes of Stratosphere. I've watched some of these record shows on TH-cam, but you are No. 1 in my book! Just listened to the undervalued Blue Oyster Cult "Mirrors" If you havent' heard it, I think you'd enjoy.
Thanks so much! I do love the obscure groups for some reason! So much fantastic music out there to explore! So glad you like my record showings! I'll have to check out Mirrors from BOC!
The Omaha Introvert I’m off and just got finished watching your video. A lot of these I remember when they came out in the 80’s and I would just blow by them. During that time I was into stuff like the Police/Cars/Adam Ant/Prince. And heavy metal of course. I wish at the time I would have showed more attention. I like this genre now. The Bangles awesome. Susan Hoffs never ages. I love her more recent stuff with Mathew Sweet. Enjoyed the video. Cheers Hanna. You know u always got my support 🙂
Hey there again! Nothing wrong with being into the more mainstream artists/groups of that time. I love them, too! I'm with you on Susanna Hoffs latest collaborations with Matthew Sweet! Under the Covers - great stuff! I appreciate you sticking by me, Richard! Cheers!
Funny you mentioned LOVE. I just got off work. Chilling with a 🍷and spinning an OG Out Here by LOVE on the Blue Thumb label. I really dig Mazzy Star but didn't know about that connection. Thanks for the tidbit. Bangles are nostalgic. Some of my favorite ear candy. I've kept my eyes out for that Pandoras but haven't spotted one yet. Legit album, dig the vocals. Nice spotlight on that Rickenbacker. Some of the most beautiful instruments. Thanks for the video. Your vids feel like kicking it at your spot. That my goal with my vids. Good vibes. Be easy.👍🏻🤙🏼✌🏼
Hey Eric! Wow, we must have left comments on each other's videos at close to the same time! Both commenting on the chill crib vibes! Out Here by Love is one I haven't heard yet. Is that a later album of theirs where Bryan Maclean is no longer with them? Oh yeah, that first Pandoras record is boss! 80s garage goodness! The Rickenbacker is a dream, isn't it? Hope your listening session continues this weekend! Peace.
Hi Hanna from Wales. I remember getting a few of these albums when they were released in the eighties. Loved most of them. Do you know The Green Panamas. Loved the videos.
Hi Stephen! Thanks for being here, and I hope all is well in Wales! I do not know about the Green Pajamas, but from what I'm reading, they are associated with the paisley underground and college rock scene of that time. Whoa, they have over 30 albums! Uh-oh, this may be my new obsession - diving into the Green Pajamas now! Thank you for bringing them to my attention! I appreciate the comment!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert You are so Welcome Hanna, and you are also right pn the cd and vinyl the format doesn't matter i buy both format in my music collection to.
The Panda's were tragically underated. Everybody watching this owes themselves a TH-cam dive on some early 80's live Pandoras.... don't worry about the later glam metal years. Don't know what Paula was thinking there but, the early stuff is God like. It Felt Alright, You're All Talk, Hot Generation... etc. All the Nuggets influenced stuff. All of it still holds up. She's definately missed.
I've been looking forward to Part 3 of the Jangle Pop series. I've been playing The Connells' Boylan Heights a lot lately. Great score on the Green On Red Japanese pressing. I'm a big fan and I also like Chuck Prophet's output after leaving the band. Just wanted to let you know that I got the newest Close Lobsters on vinyl and you are right; they haven't lost a beat and it is just as good as their earlier albums (Foxheads Stalk This Land has been a favorite). You listed a couple of bands that I am unfamiliar with and will have to check out. Take care.
Hi Randall! Thank you for watching. Glad you've been enjoying Boylan Heights from the Connells. What a consistent, talented band! I have yet to dive more into Chuck Prophet's solo work, but I've had several nudges to do so! I'm thrilled that you picked up the new Close Lobsters release on wax! It definitely is just as wonderful as their earlier offerings. Foxheads is still my favorite out of their catalog, but their latest is impressive and I'm so glad we have it to enjoy! Enjoy your Sunday!
Hi Al! Thanks for watching! Of course! Check out my very first jangle pop episode here: th-cam.com/video/FAdBdI58Oyc/w-d-xo.html I'm even wearing a Byrds shirt in it! Also, I did a Byrds ranking video a while back: th-cam.com/video/aFunIBxT2hA/w-d-xo.html I also own all of the Love albums up through Four Sail! Fantastic bands!
Hi Hanna. Good to see you back. Liked the positive ending here. Besides Bangles i don't really have anything though i did get Green On Red mixed up with Hindu Love Gods for a moment. Pasi
Thanks, Pasi. I always try to live with a positive and upbeat attitude and unfortunately, there are plenty who are down and negative at the moment, which I can understand given this horrible year. We should be lifting each other up...especially when this is a music community after all! I've only heard of the Hindu Love Gods, but haven't heard any of their tunes! Funny you got them mixed up with Green on Red! Hope you are well and spinning lots of good music! Later.
Hi Hanna, enjoyed this a lot. Reminded me of the "good old days". Rain Parade's first 45 "What She's Done to Your Mind" b/w "Kaleidoscope" is great as is Salvation Army's first 45 "Mind garden.' Both heavily recommended. Annette Zalinskis, the first Bangles bassist, supplied the 4th of their 4 part harmonies. She later became lead vocalist for Blood on the Saddle. Also loved Annette's replacement Micki Steele who also had lead vocals from time to time. Saw the Pandoras live once. They were loud and fun. They also did an "original" song whose title escapes me but it was a rip off of "How Is The Air Up There" by the Changin' Times and La De Da's (New Zealand band). Anyway, good job and keep jangling.
Hi Gary! Thanks for taking the time to watch and for leaving a thoughtful comment! I'm thinking I need to pick up that self-titled Salvation Army release very soon. Ah, thanks for the info on Annette Zalinskis. I need to check out Blood on the Saddle! I really miss harmonies. You don't find harmonies too much in modern music. It's just not as plentiful as it once was. Wow, you got to see the Pandoras - nice! Love how rowdy and rockin' they were! So glad you enjoyed this last jangle pop installment. Since it's a favorite subgenre, there will probably be an update from time to time! Peace.
living in so cal during the 80s all these bands were very talked about in the day ,and as youve shown they were all good ,i love that sound and for me dream syndicate really were an awesome band that really could have been from the mid to late sixties, that style of music also was a breakaway from what else was 80s popular,new wave,dance ect,problem for paisley underground they were part of a scene that had come and gone and with exceptions of a few bands, long ryders,bangles,that were able to break out with success,it was a scene that as you have shown deserved a better look and with time we can go back and found gems, so thanks for that im going to somehow get the rain parade album(your favorite), i passed on that so many times in 80s,but yeah i believe i need to change that , pandoras were great deserved much more success , most all female bands seem to kick ass and really rock without the hangups male bands have ego and jealousy issues, they may but its not as obvious , when they break up its usually a financial issue . another nice video ,that you did the work to put together for us, thanks,cheers and as you stay safe KTF.
Hi Harold! Great to hear from you. I find it fascinating how some of these bands may have started more garage-y or psych influenced but then morphed more into an Americana sound. Interesting to see a band's growth! Hope you are able to get a copy of Rain Parade's Emergency Third Rail Power Trip! What a stunning album! I agree with what you said about female bands kicking ass and not letting ego get to them as much as some male counterparts! Glad you enjoyed this installment! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Cheers!
Hi Hanna - wow, Game Theory! I hadn't thought about them for a while. Their song "24" is so awesome. Oh man...I love Emergency Third Rail Power Trip too! I would like to get Explosions in the Glass Palace. Glad to see you have it. I love Crashing Dream too! That was the first Rain Parade album I heard when it came out. I saw the Bangles at La Fiesta street festival in San Antonio in 1985! Hoodoo Gurus also played...cool show. I have a fantastic Green on Red bootleg tape of live performances. I would offer to make you a copy but I think the recording side of my tape deck drags. Great looking copy of that Verlaines record...I've heard it but never had it. Those CD comps look awesome! I enjoyed the janglepop rundown Hanna! ~ Randy
Hey there, Randy! I haven't been too active in the "VC" as of late, so I apologize I haven't stopped by for your videos. Game Theory were a solid band. I recently picked up a Loud Family CD, which Scott Miller formed after Game Theory. Also a great band! Crashing Dream was my first listening experience and album I bought from the Rain Parade as well! Wow, the Bangles/Hoodoo Gurus on the same bill in '85! What a show that must have been! No worries on that Green on Red boot. Sweet of you to offer, though. I'm gonna get a new tape deck in the future. Mine bit the dust. Haha. The Verlaines are pretty hard to come by in the wild! I did a double take! So glad you stopped by! Later!
Saw green on red, rain parade, long ryders, and dream syndicate here in the Uk back in the 80s this is a great video I thought I was the only person left who was into these bands lol, check out the miracle workers from back then think you’ll like them.
Thanks, Wayne! Glad you checked out my appreciation video for the paisley underground! I'll look into the Miracle Workers! I appreciate the recommendation!
Great Paisley review. One major omission is the Rainy Day Project, in which members of the Rain Parade, Bangles and Three O'Clock team up for a jam session with their favorite songs. Also, I'd argue that early Game Theory belongs to the PU. There were also a number of smaller banda like Eyes of Mind.
Absolutely stellar video..love jangly guitar music!
Thank you so very much! I'm doing a power pop/jangle update very soon! I had fun with the jangle pop series! I appreciate you watching my videos! :-)
Making contributions and being cool.... Love it!
Hehe, thanks, Allan! Glad you liked my paisley underground video! :-)
Just subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much for this! You reminded me of so many bands that I have actually forgotten. I'm looking forward to checking out you other videos!
Thanks, Cory! So glad you're watching! I feature a lot on my channel!
Great vid series Hanna, thanks for taking the time to make them. I love the Paisley Underground bands. ;)
Thank you for the kind words, John! So glad you are also an avid fan of the paisley underground! The 80s might be my favorite decade for music...so much diversity. Not all of it was good, but so much of it was! Peace.
Great retrospective! I love Jangle Pop too and I recognize most of the bands you highlighted, but I’m happy to learn about new ones. I wish I had your collection.
Thanks so much for finding my jangle pop series! It was a fun one. I might have another jangle pop update to do in a few months! Glad I was able to introduce you to some new ones! Always adding to the collection! Cheers.
I’m digging this series. Definitely learning a lot about the genre/different bands & artists. Loving the samples too. So fun. Keep it up, Hanna. 😎✌🏻🌟
Thanks so much, Emma! Glad you liked the series. I only was able to cover a small portion of this fantastic, enjoyable genre! Just saw a new pic of your puppy on Facebook. So cute! Take care.
I have enjoyed your series on “Jangle Pop”. This Paisley Underground segment is my favorite. These are the bands that interest me the most in this genre. Especially The Rain Parade. They are definitely on my radar now. I know you have researched and did your homework to make these presentations knowledgeable and entertaining. Thank you 🙏. This year has been so hard for everyone and has affected all of us in sometimes unexpected ways. I love that “E.L.E.” mind set. Beautiful.
Thanks, Topper. The paisley underground movement was my favorite, too! We just love those 60s vibes! I can see you digging Rain Parade the most for sure! I love your content and hope to actively comment in the future, but for specific reasons, I'm just not comfortable leaving comments at the moment. I hope you understand. Yes, E.L.E., my friend. Thanks for always spreading positivity in a dark world. Cheers.
I just stumbled across your video and OMG, where have you been? I can't stop listening, are you my sister from another mother? Love The three oclocks! Ill be searching for your other paisley underground videos. Thanks for doing what you do. A breath of fresh air.
Always enjoyable to see your sub genre collection of albums. I wish I knew the genre names when I was living through it. I guess I wasn’t paying attention. Seriously so good Hanna ✌🏽
Hey Mazzy! Thanks! Once I dig a particular subgenre - watch out...the collection will grow and the bank account will shrink! The paisley underground was pretty obscure, even during that time. I know you're a fan of the Dream Syndicate, too! Cheers, and enjoy your Friday night!
Just found your videos. You have great taste in music! You do a great job with these videos. I know and like a lot of the bands you talk about but you're still turning me on to new bands. Keep up the good work!
Eric, thank you!!! I had a response for you earlier but then lost it!! I appreciate your kindness and I have fun with these genre deep dives for sure! Hope you are having an excellent and relaxing weekend! ✌️😀
Good to see you, Hanna. I need to investigate more of this music! Thanks for the helpful primer. Take care.
Stephen, how are you doing? Good to hear from you! Happy to provide some hopefully useful info on this wonderful subgenre! Hope all is well! Cheers.
I enjoy the Three O'Clock a bit. Very nice Verlaines pickup. Good job on the series, Hanna!
Hi Kris. Hope all is well with you and Marissa. Glad you dug the jangle pop series. Someone told me the Verlaines may have a new album coming out soon. I need to look into that. Cheers!
Great video Hanna. Glad to see you cap off the series. You showed a lot of albums that I need to check out. The only one that I have is a Long Ryders album. Great video and thanks for making this series. Cheers.
Hey Karl! Thanks for watching! Oh yes, I think I remember you showing State of Our Union from the Long Ryders before. So much music out there! I appreciate you dropping a message. Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Wow, good memory! Yes I have State of our Union. I have seen the 3'oclock albums kicking around but I didnt know what they were all about. So I will have to keep an eye out for them. I listened to The Long Ryders right after watching this video. Cheers.
Right on, I remembered! Yeah the Three O’clock albums are semi-easy to find. I’m still hoping to find one more at a record show in the future...whenever the shows happen again! Damn Covid!
Hi Hanna, Really enjoyed the video.You showing The Bangles ep really caught my interest. Have to pick it up. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for the interest in my video! That Bangles first EP is worth seeking out. My friend just found a copy while out digging last weekend! Cheers!
Hanna- another fantastic jangle pop video. I hope there’s a part 4 sometime down the road. So cool to hear your intro song by Erik Voeks. He’s a really talented pop singer songwriter. You should definitely check out his two albums (CD only) both essential listening! As for paisley underground 3 o’clock and Rain Parade are my favorites and like you I prefer early Bangles/Bangs. I’ve been a fan of the Connells for a long time. Saw them live at a small venue in early 90’s. Good to hear they’re working on new material. Guad Diary is another favorite, I love side 1 of Jamboree. I bought two Jazz Butcher CD box sets in the past few years, a bit hit or miss but some really good songs on those. I have the first two volumes of Twelve String High comps and enjoy them. Look forward to more of your videos and hope you’re well. -Matt
Hey Matt! Thanks for the kind words, my fellow jangle pop aficionado! I'm sure I will have jangle pop collection updates in the future! I'm always buying. :-) I will definitely check out Erik Voeks' offerings. Let's hope we get that new Connells album. It was only this year that I became a big fan of theirs! I was thinking the same thing about side 1 of Jamboree - that's definitely the winning side! Ah, I didn't know those Jazz Butcher CD box sets existed. Off to do some research on those now! Hope you're doing well, too! Not sure you're too into shoegaze, but I know you dig some power pop, so I'll have some power pop updates soon, too! Enjoy your weekend!
I saw the Connells as a kid when they played a street fair here in Greensboro! They sadly never seemed to get their due- as contemporaries of R.E.M., I think people just had their ‘moody Southern jangle pop’ band mentally slotted off, although they were of course quite different. Then they had a breakout in Europe in the ’90s with with ‘74-‘75, and did a European tour, which they apparently hated. Sometimes it’s better to be playing for a small, dedicated fanbase than to crowds who only know you for one song.
Neat stuff Hanna! Take care!
Thank you, Dan! I appreciate the kind words and support. Peace.
Hey Hanna! I'm happy to see you back to finish off your Jangle Pop series. I appreciate you defining what The Paisley Underground is because although I knew the term I've never really known what it was. I'm always learning stuff watching your videos! Everybody Love Everybody! I love that and I try to. ☺️
Hi Bill! It was nice to make a video and cap off this series. So glad to hear my videos are somewhat informative. That's my goal! You definitely adhere to the ELE mentality and we all appreciate how genuine and kind you are! Thanks, Bill! I need to catch up on your latest!
Great retrospective. Rain Parade is my favorite too.i look around has that almost beatlesesque “she said, she said” riff
Thanks so much for checking out my paisley episode! Glad you dig that excellent Rain Parade LP, too! I come back to it quite frequently! Superb! Take care.
Great episode! Nice primer for the uninitiated but lots of juicy details for people already versed in the genre. That's my favorite Woodentops LP too.
PS: I appreciated the Shattuck shout-out. Gone too soon.
Thanks so much! Tried to bring this series full-circle, but no doubt there will be other video updates here and there! R.I.P. Kim! Thanks for watching!
You closed down your Jangle Pop 'holy trinity' series wonderfully, Hanna (although, never close the door on a Part 4, ha ha). As usual, so many bands you presented are lifetime favorites of mine, and so many great memories from my nostalgic college radio days, especially The Rain Parade, Dream Syndicate, Green on Red, The Connells (love this band), The Jazz Butcher, The Woodentops (got to see them live). Love to see a copy of the new Fontaines D.C. over your shoulder. It's been my most played album since its release and will no doubt be in my top 20 for 2020. Also, loved your intro song, so thanks much for sharing the compilation it came from. I definitely need to pick both of those up. Thanks again for all three informative videos on all things 'Jangle Pop.' I both learned things and took a nice trip back in time. That indeed is a nice combination heading into the weekend. Can't wait for the Shoegaze update. That genre is even more in my wheelhouse--if that's possible?
Hi Stephen! Thank you! So glad you thought I wrapped up this series well with this installment! Oh no, I wouldn't dare rule out a part 4...although it may just be collection updates from now on! So glad you noticed the Fontaines D.C. album over my shoulder. Yeah, it's been in constant rotation for me, too! Love their moody sound. 2020 has been absolutely stellar for music, has it not?! Usually I don't pay too much attention to new releases, but wow, this year is impressing me. Ah, very cool you got to see the Woodentops live! I'm thrilled you're looking forward to the shoegaze update, too! I'll be showing old and new! :-)
Hey Hanna! I'm from Brazil and I met your channel through research on The Bangles. I love Bangles and have on CD their albums All Over The Place (1984), Different Light (1986), Everything (1988) and Greatest Hits (1990) from Columbia/Sony Music. I like this garage rock, Jangle Pop and I'm still going to have this Ladies and Gentlemen:The Bangles! (2016) 'cause this type of CD is only imported in Brazil. By the way, great video. You get one more subscriber.
Hi Alencar! So glad you love the Bangles, too! Really love their early material the most. I hope you can get the Ladies and Gentlemen compiliation! I appreciate you subscribing, too! Take care.
Good to see another video Hanna and especially one focused on a type of music.
Good timing too as I bought the first Dream Syndicate album last week as my introduction to Paisley. That first Rain Parade album could well be next.
Hi Paul! Thanks for dropping by! Yes, I wanted to deliver on my promise to do a 3rd jangle pop video! Congrats on getting Days of Wine and Roses as your paisley intro. Fantastic! Emergency Third Rail Power Trip would definitely be the next essential pickup! You're off to an awesome start! Cheers!
And the education in these sub genres just keeps on continuing . I , like Mr. Maslov , was oblivious to these various categories while I was living through these eras . Well , I guess that you can teach an old dog new tricks . Many thanks for opening my eyes to a lot of new music .
I guess I was an avid follower of anything AllMusic put out...their resource books on rock as well as their website. They broke everything down for me and I latched onto the subgenres! So glad my channel has been informative. I guess I learn a lot from others and then try to pass on the passion and education!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert You're doing a great job of passing along your education . Keep up the good work !
I appreciate the encouragement, John! So fun talking about music!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert It is indeed !
Just some extra history. Green on Red started in Tucson as The Serfers playing at Pearl's Hurricane Bar. I was playing in local bands at about the same time in Tucson. There was also later The Giant Sandworms (later shortened to Giant Sand) in Tucson.
Love this video and all the memories came flooding back of those long far off days of The Paisley Underground, great times for me. I can still remember having to get Sixteen Tambourines by The Three O' Clock and All over The Place by The Bangles on import (I'm from Cool Britannia) and we, at the time couldn't get those two albums anywhere. I have a lot of what you have been showing us, on CD. Going to have to do some serious crate digging to find them all on vinyl. I do have the 3x4 comp and that is a great collection of covers, and I'd recommend everyone to get a copy of that. So thank you so much for sharing all of this with us here in you tube land.....
Yay - you're back. Great video.
Thank you, Andrew! Glad you dug the video! Cheers!
Well done Hanna. I never really concentrated on genres too much. If I like the music I listen to it. But its nice to see what categories some of the alternative bands that I heard on terrestrial radio and also bought fit into. There is one band that you and I showed Miracle Legion that I guess would fit into this genre as well. Some of the bands like G Diary, Green on Red and the Dream S definitely bring back memories of the eighties. Well done Hanna. As always~
Rob/Boston
Hi Rob! I'm nerdy and weird with categorizing my music, I know. Blame Allmusic.com! Haha! Ah, Miracle Legion. Sadly, I have overlooked them, even though I have heard about them before. Now I have written them down to sample more later. Thanks for giving me the nudge! The 80s were such a fine decade for music! I appreciate you coming back and leaving a comment, Rob. Hope to see a new video from you soon.
Hi Hanna, I've been collecting records since 1970 when I was 14 years old and not too long ago was arrogant enough to think that there wasn't much I hadn't heard of and new to discover but you are constantly proving me wrong about that. Thanks for the video. It's a nice distraction from the smoke and fire currently around here.
Hi Mike! Please stay safe on the west coast. Really scary with all the fires. My cousin lives in L.A. and she may be flying back to Omaha for a bit. Out of curiosity, how large is your record collection if you've been buying since you were 14?! I try to pare down my collection a few times a year! Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert My vinyl collection is around 1800 records. I've pared it down three different times and quit collecting them for a few years in the 90's when they faded away and into the 2000's before making a comeback. I went waaaay overboard on collecting cd's though. lol Some friends and family think I went way overboard on vinyl too. The fires came close enough that I was a little worried on Wednesday but it looks better now. Though they warn us to stay ready just in case conditions change for the worse. Saw the sun this morning for the first time since last Tuesday morning so the smoke has thinned a little. Got a few photos. Sun turns an awesome shade of pink/orange when seen through smoke.
Hi Mike. I'm so glad you were able to get a glimpse of the sun again. Really hoping you guys will get a break. 1,800 records - wow! It's good to pare the collection down to what you know you'll revisit more than once. I have plenty of CDs as well, hehe!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Hi Hanna. From your videos, I'm thinking you have about 3000-plus records. lol. Have you seen the book, 'Dust & Grooves'? Full of people and their collections and stories. (Have I asked you that already? lol) Great coffee table book!! Certainly gets me all fired up to add records whenever I look at it.
I have flipped through Dust & Grooves before, even though I don't own it. Fascinating! :-)
One more but I have hundreds and I just subscribed. Speechless by the Clay Idols.
Another cool vid...great news on The Connells (potentially) releasing new stuff. Love, love, love that band!
Hey there, Jason! Good to see you pop in! Yeah, I need to check for a fresh update on a potential new one from the Connells. Would be sweet, right? Rock on!
Hey Hanna, great to see someone showing so much of the music that I love. I own at least one album by just about every artist that you showed. I love you and your channel and one of these days I have a lot of catching up to do. Be safe and take care...
Hi again, Tim! Really miss your TH-cam videos. Hope you'll be back soon. You are a kindred spirit of all things power pop/jangle pop! I'm so glad you liked this series! I'll have a massive power pop update to do after I do a shoegaze video or two. Hope you are staying safe as well! Peace.
Hello Hanna; Hope you are staying safe & feeling well. Very informative video, well presented & explained. Always nice to learn about new groups & genre's of music that were not on the immediate radar. Not to mention the song samples. The Bangles on colored vinyl looks good. The Pandoras with their take on the Shadows of Knight Gloria LP. Right down to the colors. Nice 3 part series on Jangle Pop, Paisley Underground. Like the message of positivity concerning proper decorum in the Vinyl Community. Hopefully everyone involved will begin to understand, & hear the music. We as a network would be taking a giant step forward in the right direction. As always, your friends. Tina & Pat!~
"the immediate radar"
Here in the UK "Immediate" and "Radar" are two very collectable record labels, and you manage to squeeze in a clever, cryptic reference to both of them in your comment! 🙄
Hey there, Tina and Pat! A joy to see a comment from you, as always! That Pandoras cover shot is great, isn't it? Yeah, nice tribute to Shadows of Knight. Glad you agree with the message at the end as well. It's been pretty disgusting and disheartening what has happened in this "community" as of late. Music prevails. Enjoy your weekend!
@Shelley Lyme Hey there, Shelley!
Always loved The Bangles but hadn't heard of quite a few of the others you mentioned. Am going to check some of them out but start with The Rain Parade based on your high recommendation.
Appreciate your videos. Take Care.
Thanks so much ! I’m thrilled you enjoyed this installment of this series. Starting with the Rain Parade is a solid choice. 😉👌👍 I appreciate the comment! Be well!
Hi Hanna, great video, thousands of miles away and so close musically. Best regards from Argentina
Hi there, Diego! I really appreciate you watching my jangle pop series. It was really fun for me to do. I continue to show jangle pop on occasion in my finds videos! Happy spinning, my friend! Argentina seems like a beautiful country!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Hi my friend, I admire your knowledge, you are fabulous. I will watch other videos. And yes ... Argentina is a beautiful country with corrupt politicians. Kisses in the distance (sorry for my english)
Great video Hanna. Really enjoyed it. I am going to check out that Rain Parade band now. Rock on!
Thank you so much for stopping by to hang out, Brian! I think your ears will be pleased with the Rain Parade! Happy Friday! Peace.
I'm always interested in your jangle pop series! You know the genre like no other! Wow...look at that Rain Parade orange variant! I never knew that The Bangles fell into this category! I'm loving all the sound samples you're providing! I've really loved this series! I have many bands I have written down to check out! Yes we all are hear to talk music! I look forward to the shoegaze video that I assume is posted by now! Pandoras, Green On Red, and so many to explore!
For some reason this ended up in my comments held for review section! Early Bangles definitely are jangle pop! Cool, right? Yep, 2 shoegaze videos posted since this one! Cheers!
Hi Hanna, great to see you promoting the Three O'Clock, one of my favorite early-80s bands. One of the best shows I've ever seen was them opening for REM, a perfect pairing for the summer of 1985. They were touring Arrive Without Traveling and Fables Of The Reconstruction respectively - if you're not familiar with Arrive it's worth checking out IMO, a little slick compared to 16 Tambourines maybe but still unmistakably the Three O'Clock.
Unrelated: the Under The Covers series by Susannah Hoffs and Matthew Sweet (how's that duo for jangle-pop lineage?). Three albums faithfully covering some of their favorite songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Their version of Bell Bottom Blues (Derek & The Dominoes) is totally killer.
Great video Hanna, I'm not too familiar with Jangle Pop, this was very insightful and full of awesome information.
Marichen, hey there! Hope the sound clips helped give an idea of the genre. Glad you liked the video. I appreciate you being a friend and stopping by! :-)
Morning Hanna☕️🎶👋🏻been away (outside biking n tennis) ...ok I’m gonna be still and listen n learn....thank you for all you do and who you are sista...✊🏻🎶✊🏻🎶Lis
Hi Lis! Biking and tennis - perfect time of year for both! We just started cooling down here. I've mainly been running, but I want to finally get a bike by spring. Much love and thank you for your kindness as always. Us VC sisters need to stick together! E.L.E. indeed!
Great overview. I'm a big Jason Falkner fan with Jellyfish and solo.
Great video Hannah! Dream Syndicate is a great band. Ah you showed Bangles All over the place! Used to have it. Luckily I recorded what I wanted for my library. Yep, Hero takes a fall was a keeper! Love that song!! take care my friend😊😁
Hi Max! Thanks for watching and leaving me this comment. Yes, that first Bangles record is incredible indeed! My friend just found their first EP on vinyl yesterday while digging! Enjoy your Sunday and spin some good tunes!
The Omaha Introvert You’re welcome Hannah! I will indeed! Enjoy your day! Get some rest & spin a favorite!
I sure do love that Jangle Pop sound. I am trying to memorize these band names so when I am out and about I can pick some up. I do like Thr Bangles but never see the early stuff. You have a wonderful collection of this genre. When I hear it, it just instantly lifts my spirits. Great to see you! ❤️ Take care.
Melinda! 🤟🏻
Thanks, Melinda! Jangle pop is a very likable and upbeat (most of the time) subgenre! Very cool that you're gonna keep an eye out for some of these. I hope you did some record digging in Colorado. What a fun state! Catch ya later!
Love that first Three O’Clock record. Regret selling mine a while ago. Game Theory is so underrated. I’m in the minority and tend to reach for Crashing Dream more than Third Rail. Not familiar with any pre-I.R.S. Bangles stuff. Looks rad. I think I heard they used to be called The Bangs but got them confused with a 90s act. I really like the current Dream Syndicate stuff. Goes back to more of the psych roots. Long Ryders yes yes yes!!! Love them so much and another band who had a great new album last year. Green On Red is definitely not the easiest band to find in the wild. Love Gravity Talks and finally this year got into their later stuff. Fun & Games by The Connells is a scorcher. Seen that Woodentops around but never grabbed it. I’ll have to get that next time. Guadalcanal Diary, one of the best for sure.
I just realized I wasn't subbed to you before. Argh. That has been corrected! So cool you are a fellow fan of Game Theory as well! I pick up their LPs when I see them! I actually know of a few people who prefer Crashing Dream more than the early psych stuff from Rain Parade, so no biggie! All fabulous music! Yes, the Bangles used to be called the Bangs early on! I need to get on the bus with the new Dream Syndicate offerings. Time for me to sample finally! You're right about Green on Red being pretty elusive in the wild. I have only seen Gravity Talks twice, and I do a lot of digging! I hope you find Giant from the Woodentops! I see other albums by them, but not Giant too often! Cheers!
Game Theory was awesome. I miss scott
I always learn about bands I know nothing about from watching your videos. Close lobsters?? I may have to check out the new CD cuz I have no idea who they are , but a little bit you played has got me interested. Thank you for sharing all this music with us my friend godspeed and be safe
Hey Rod! Close Lobsters are amazing. Yeah, their latest one is a favorite for this year! So glad you stopped by! Peace, my friend!
Hey Hanna! Great to see you back to continue this series. I just traded in my two albums by The Three O’Clock. I just wasn’t spinning them. I do have a few of their songs on playlists that I stream, though. I would’ve sent you Arrive Without Traveling, but I thought you already had it. 😞 I’m very focused to paring down albums by certain artists and specific genres that I really like but don’t feel compelled to own everything. I have an OG of Emergency Third Rail Power Trip that I picked up before I even really knew what “paisley underground” was. It’s amazing and I’ll never let go of that one. I also have The Day of Wine and Roses and Opal’s Happy Nightmare Baby. Both essentials in my book. The one band that I’m missing and would like something by is early Bangles. They were garage badasses. I will be mentioning The Connells in a future video on more NC artists. You do such a great job with these genre-focused series and it’s great to see how your collection has grown over time. Hope all is well. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers! ✌🏻
Hi Jon! No worries on the Three O'clock LP! (Don't you know that women are now forbidden from receiving VCLT from any men in this community?! It may mean that we are trying to date the sender, or we are using our "feminine wiles"..🙄). SMH. Can you see my eyes rolling?!
I'm paring down my collection, too. Getting rid of a lot of classic rock LPs I just don't need. I think radio overkill has killed some of my love for classic rock. I'm just keeping the essentials. I come across "All Over the Place" from the Bangles somewhat frequently. Let me pick that up next time I see it so I can send it to you. I have something else in mind I can send to you, too. I look forward to your chat about the Connells! Fantastic group and they need more recognition! Cheers, my friend!
Good morning Hanna. I am sure that this one will be interesting. Be back this evening~
Rob/Boston
Aloha, stumbled on you with your first jangle pop vid and subscribed. Knew most of them, but not this paisley aspect minus The Bangles. Thought Jamboree was Guadalcanal Diary’s best album and had completely forgotten The Connells . Many mahalos.
Hi Adam! Aloha! I'm so glad you found me from my first jangle pop video. It's been a fun series. Isn't it cool how the Bangles were part of the paisley underground? Jamboree is a terrific album from Guadalcanal Diary for sure..especially side 1! You have excellent taste in music! Let's hope for that new Connells album soon! Peace.
Opal was his band between Rain Parade and Mazzy Star. Kendera Smith was the singer. Her solo record is really good also. Sorry I and commenting so much I just found you on the VC and I have the same taste in music. How about Mansun r& the Libertines good Brit rock
Opal were great. Too bad I haven't found that album yet! No problem on all the comments, I welcome that! Just thrilled you are liking my channel so far! I like the Libertines.
Green on red, the killer inside me album. Awesome
New to the channel and loving it. If you like R.E.M I would highly recommend Miracle Legion, it’s spin off band Polaris, and lead singer Mark Mulcahy’s solo work. All perfect Jangle Pop!
Thanks for being here!!! I have featured Miracle Legion oh my channel before and own 3 of their albums!😉
Cool vid! I have the Bangles first EP on vinyl. I have that Dream Syndicate Days Of Wine and Roses album on cd. I just have to spin it more. Lol. Take care!
Hi Chris! Oh, super nice that you scored the first Bangles EP on wax! I think I have only seen it once while out digging. Keep those CDs and vinyl spinnin'! Hehe! :-) Thanks so much for the comment! Happy Friday night!
I got to see Rain Parade with Winter Hours and Let's Active at a show at the Ritz NYC (the original one downtown) July 18, 1986, a true omnibus type show, it seemed to go on, with intermissions, for about four hours, or so it seemed. Rain Parade I didn't really know, but they did a great set, and I recall hearing them play "No Easy Way Down" which I had heard on college radio around that time. A totally hypnotic, and mesmerizing band. The Let's Active set was hilarious, bracing, full of goofs by the encores, including Deep Purple covers and stuff. Winter Hours got opening slot, and it was sure something to finally get to see those guys live, and they sounded easily better live than on record. I was right up front stage middle or left, to my vague recollection. Didn't get home until like 3 a.m.
"2x4" by Guadalcanal Diary is one of my favorite records (the CD version has a bonus track of them singing "And Your Bird Can Sing"). Speaking of The Bangles, have you ever heard Continental Drifters? Members include Vicki Peterson, Susan Cowsill, and Peter Holsapple. They put out three very good albums. And on a side note, you bear a striking resemblance to Amy Poehler (and I mean that as a compliment!). Another great video, Hanna!
Right on about the Continental Drifters - I just responded to another comment mentioning them. I have only heard Vermilion and really liked it. I don't know why I've slept on checking out more. Maybe because I'm obsessed with too much music, hehe! Ooo, I'm gonna be keeping my eyes peeled for the CD version of 2x4 from GD! Thank you for the heads up on the bonus track! As a side note, I really like Amy Poehler! Thanks, my friend!
The Pandoras I like. Much thanks. Been spending lots on St Vincent lately. Appreciate your recommendations.
Thanks so much for watching and for leaving me a comment! St. Vincent is a very talented artist. I really like her Strange Mercy album! Glad you dig the Pandoras! Peace.
Hi Hanna!
Just watched your Jangle Pop trilogy. Well done, it was a great overview of a group of bands I'm very familiar with, and some that were completely new to me. I love it when people show music which goes beyond the usual VC fare. You clearly put a lot of thought into these videos, and I really appreciate that.
I know how easy it is to fall down musical rabbit holes, I've done that many times, most recently with the UK Pub Rock scene.
Here a few bands you might like the jangle of...as if you need any more recommendations. Excuse me if you're already familiar with these.
Bristol's The Blue Aeroplanes jangled enough that they might be up your street.
Stary Eyed & Laughing's eponymous debut from 1974, is an early Jangle Pop/Power Pop record. It kind of bridges the gap between The Byrds and the 80s jangling.
Scotland's (again!) Cosmic Rough Riders had some jangle to their blissed out sunshine psych pop, which you may well like.
Cheers - Hedley
Hi Hedley! I'm thrilled you stopped by! Thanks for the comment. My three favorite rock subgenres are jangle pop, power pop, and shoegaze, so I do focus on those a lot which not too many VC channels showcase, I guess. I only talk about what I'm passionate about.
As far as UK pub rock, maybe one of the only bands I have in my collection of that particular scene is Dr. Feelgood. I'll have to investigate more!
Ohhh, how did I forget to mention the Blue Aeroplanes? Shame on me. I actually own Spitting Out Miracles on vinyl and then Beatsongs on CD. Darn! There will be future jangle pop collection updates in the future and maybe I will finally mention them in one of those. Thank you for the reminder! I always forget to mention something in a video!
I have sampled Starry Eyed and Laughing before based on someone's recommendation and have to agree that they are very Byrds-y and I truly enjoyed what I heard. Perhaps I will find that debut soon!
Cosmic Rough Riders are definitely on my radar as well. They are up my alley after sampling a few songs a couple of months ago!
Seems you are quite familiar with this excellent subgenre as well. That being said, I'm glad I was able to introduce you to a few new ones as well! :-)
Cheers! Thank you!
Hey Hanna! Thanks for another really enjoyable video! I can never get enough jangle pop. Love that you concentrated on the Paisley Underground in this installment. Such a wonderful collection of bands in that scene. The Bangles album All Over The Place, The Dream Syndicate's The Days Of Wine And Roses, and The Rain Parade's Emergency Third Rail Power Trip have remained in my listening rotation for so many years now. Those albums never seem to get old. Btw, there's a great informative article on David Roback in a recent issue of Uncut Magazine (with George Harrison on the cover [January 2020]). He really was a special talent. Re The Bangles and The Dream Syndicate, my all-time favorite local NOLA band - The Continental Drifters - featured Vicki Peterson (Bangles) and Mark Walton (Dream Syndicate) along with Peter Holsapple (The d.B's as well as R.E.M. sideman). Was so cool to be able to see that band play live on practically a weekly basis for several years. Speaking of The Dream Syndicate's more recent releases, I definitely recommend checking out their 2017 album How Did I Find Myself Here? It's possibly their strongest collection of songs since Wine and Roses. And so glad you mention that 3x4 compilation - I love that album. Very cool that those classic Paisley Underground bands chose to do an album like that.
The Connells - yes, love them! Their song "74-75" (off of Ring) is one of my favorite songs ever. Great news that they are preparing a new album!
Thanks for the scoop on those Twelve String High comps - I was totally unaware of those. Will definitely check 'em out. I see The Junipers' "And In My Dreams" is on Vol 1. I recommend checking out The Junipers' song "They Lived Up In The Valley" off of Paint The Ground released in 2012. One of my favorite jangly tunes and I think you'd dig it.
Looking forward to the shoegaze video!
Hi Ivan! Thank you for the extremely awesome comment! It's so great to connect with fellow jangle pop fans here. I agree, those 3 paisley underground albums you highlighted never get old! Classics that belong in every collection! You must be the 3rd or 4th person to give high praises and mention of the Continental Drifters. I have only heard Vermilion and loved it immensely upon first listen back in the mid-2000s. I don't know why I haven't checked out their others. For some reason they got pushed to the back burner, but I'm changing that now! Peter Holsapple remains a favorite artist and the Continental Drifters had quite the lineup!
Crossing my fingers for that new Connells album!
Hope you can get your hands on one or several of those 12 String High CDs. Wow, I have that Junipers tune on repeat while I respond to comments right now. Reminds me of the Notorious Byrd Brothers era. What a gorgeous song. Now I want to check out their Paint the Ground album you recommended!
I appreciate you being here. Are you on Instagram? Would be fun to see what you are spinning on a daily or weekly basis! Cheers!
The Omaha Introvert I'm actually not on Instagram. Sent you a FB friend request though.
Nice video. Check out the Continental Drifters if you haven't yet. The band features Peter Holsapple, Susan Cowsill, and Vicki Peterson. Jangle pop/Americana. Cheers!
The Continental Drifters released a superb short album of Fairport Convention related covers in 2001 - 'Listen Listen.
Hi David! Ah, thanks for the reminder about the Continental Drifters. I had totally forgotten to check out other albums...don't know why, since I absolutely love Peter Holsapple and that is quite the lineup indeed! I had sampled Vermilion a while ago and really dug it. Hope all is well! Cheers!
awesome video! I love that Rain Parade album. Arrive Without Travelling is the album to get from The Three O'Clock. I think their sound really culminated with that record.
Hi Scott! A viewer sent me Arrive Without Traveling earlier this year. Love it! They should have gotten more recognition! Cheers!
I`m not a jangle-dude, but I know you have a broader taste, and I got rewarded ;) The garagerockers Pandoras were great.
Stay strong and keep up the good work.
Peace and cosmic love from 🇸🇪
Hello, Swedish viewer! I have some Swedish roots and would love to visit there someday when the world normalizes again! I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you dig the Pandoras! Rockin' ladies! Peace and love back to you!
Another cool installment, Hanna. I'm still getting caught up after recently discovering your channel....I sure wish more people knew about & wanted to hear this kind of music. But I also wish more people wanted to drive sports cars and the reality is, everyone seems to want to drive a pickup truck! That has nothing to do with music but it shows I'm a little out-of-step with the modern world, ha ha!
I'm so glad this series has introduced a few people to this genre/these bands. That was my goal. Just seems the majority of music was a bit more artistic and creative then. We didn't have our phones taking up much of our days!
One of the key moments for me was hearing Dreams So Real's early single "Everywhere Girl" on WNYU FM college radio: produced by Peter Buck, besides already being a huge R.E.M. fan
and starting to hear bands like 10,000 Maniacs, Green on Red, The Three O'Clock, Let's Active, Long Ryders, and many of the jangle and Paisley Underground bands just coming up around that time, this song was another key track that just hit me right between the eyes hearing it on radio. Same with hearing Winter Hours' "Hyacinth Girl" on radio, once I heard these new bands, I knew we were in for several more waves of really great music, and that there was in fact, a counterweight to the more commercial, annoying, trendy, ephemeral and gimmicky side of 80s pop and rock music (and dance music). That's when I started to look beyond the usual classic rock schlock at Record World here on LI and make train trips into NYC to do some serious record shopping. I was
still in high school, so the clubs and bars were not in my realm of experience. The dance clubs here weren't gonna play these bands, anyway, honestly.
Good to see Dreams So Real get their props. However, as much as I like 10,000 Maniacs, they are NOT "jangle pop", or anything close to it.
Professor Hanna, Really enjoyed Chapter 3 in your Home Schooling Course on J-Pop, The Paisley Underground. I was running some record shops in SoCal ( Hollywood, Costa Mesa and San Diego) in 82/83... and it was really cool watching these bands/scene emerge. I sold over a 1000 pieces from my collection in 98 and now when I see cool reminders, like your videos, go to listen and discover those records and are gone...I just want to scream. But it will be fun looking for them again! Thank you for all the work you put into your tubes...they are rockin!
Hey there! Haha, I'm chuckling because you called me Professor Hanna!🤓 I do get pretty nerdy about my beloved subgenres! Wow, it must have been painful to sell that many pieces from your personal collection back in the late 90s. Argh! Luckily some of these paisley underground gems are easy to find...especially with some recent decent reissues! Certainly is fun to hunt for jangle pop albums! The search is the most fun! Really appreciate you stopping by and leaving a kind comment! Thank you!
Well! I'm still a relative newcomer to your channel, and so I've just completed watching your jangle pop series. I consider myself pretty in-the-know, and I have a lot of the music you featured, but I don't mind admitting I learned more than a little watching these, for which I'm grateful. All the talk about Mitch Easter reminded me of another jangle artist, Shalini Chatterjee, who was, among other incarnations, in Vinyl Devotion and her self-named band Shalini. Easter produced much of her work, and I believe they were even married for a time. If you haven't already, she's worth checking out. Looking forward to catching up on your other vids, and, of course, the next new one. Hope all's well. And thanks!!
Hi Jerry! I'm thrilled you took the time to check out my jangle pop series. I'll have to check out Shalini Chatterjee as I'm completely unfamiliar. Thanks for this suggestion as I learn more from my viewers than they learn from me, most likely! Cheers! Hope to see you at my next video (hopefully next week)!
Nicely done, Hanna. I bought "Gravity Talks" at a record store in Jamestown, NY back in 1985. I was in college and working the summer as a waiter at a hotel at Lake Chautauqua, NY. The songs from that album filled the staff quarters on many a night. I don't think Dan Stuart ever sounded as wigged-out again as he did on that album. Almost Roky Erickson-esque. "Snake Bit" and "Five Easy Pieces" are so cool.
Hi Bruce! I hope you are having a good week thus far! Dan Stuart does sound a little insane on Gravity Talks, but the sound of that album is so fantastic! Spot on with the Roky comparison! I'm glad you enjoyed this video! Cheers!
The Omaha Introvert
Hanna,
I thought you might appreciate that one of the other records that was popular that summer was Plasticland's "Wonder Wonderful Wonderland". I still dig "Flower Scene" with it's Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd/Byrds vibe. What a gem.
I really enjoyed this series. You have a very impressive vinyl collection. It's so fun to build the collection that reflects who you are. My collection has changed so many times since I started collecting records. It is becoming more diverse with jazz, blues and lots of psych. There is still mostly the stuff I grew up with, classic rock. I love girl groups like the Pandoras. Thanks for putting this series together. Bill
Thank you so very much, Bill. I really latch onto certain subgenres! Your collection does seem pretty diverse. I have culled some of my classic rock, but there's still plenty of it! Have to keep the necessities! Glad to hear you dig the Pandoras, too! Rock on and have a great weekend!
Hi Hanna, thank you for your well put together video, I get so many godd recommendations and new bands from them, cheers. Ravi
Hi Ravi! How have you been? So glad you enjoyed this video and got some recommendations to check out! Happy listening, my friend!
These kind of videos hold up over a long time as people who are not familiar with the genre discover them.
Hi Richard! Yeah, I like doing the deep dives into the genres that I love. I'm hoping these videos will be useful to people for years to come. Happy Friday night!
Loved your jangle pop trilogy! All three were fun and chock full of information and bands to go check out. The Rain Parade, The Three O’clock, Bangles and Dream Syndicate are all amazing bands. I’m need to give a listen 👂 to The Verlanes , The Pandoras and some of the others..... looking forward to your shoegaze video! Much love to you a fellow music lover ☮️💟☮️
Hi John! Love your comment! I appreciate your kind words on this series I put out. It was a lot of fun. I don't think I'll stop buying jangle pop anytime soon! I hope you enjoy sampling the Verlaines, Pandoras, and any others you were unfamiliar with! Your ears will thank you! Shoegaze soon! Thanks ,my friend!
Fabulous. Must get me some Three O'Clock, and a bunch of other things interest me here. I'm with you re: ETRPT -- an all-time favorite. Sad that David Roback left us. Completely arbitrarily (given the many many songs playing in our house/car), my 5-year old's favorite song is Tell Me When It's Over. So strange, but cool.
Hi there! Thanks for leaving me a comment! ETRPT is the most epic paisley underground record, right?! Yes, R.I.P. Dave Roback. Wow, your 5-year-old has amazing taste! Keep feeding his/her ears with fantastic bands! Jangle pop on!
So the Rain Parade, early Bangles, Pandoras, and the Dream Syndicate are on my list. Thanks so much for going into the definition of the Paisley Underground and how you described it made total sense. The Dream Syndicate is a band I have been aware of for a long time but have never bothered to sample. I sampled a bit more online after watching this video so I am definitely going to go after them. I know the samples are a pain to put in but boy are they ever worth it! The Long Ryders didn't sound too bad either. Green on Red and the Connells were also totally new. As with all of your videos, I learn so much. By the way, if you want to respond, which you don't need to, you can just say 'Thank you.' I want to save you some time. 🙂🙂🙂
Thank you! :-) The samples do take time to import and then shrink down to 10 seconds or less, but it's nice to give everyone a little taste of a band's sound. My goal is for people to learn something new about these excellent subgenres that are sadly overlooked! Hope you have an awesome weekend!
Have you reviewed or discussed the Oct rsd album Strum and Thrum? I know that you are already a fan of some of the bands on the compilation. Just interested in your thoughts.
Hi Eric! Thanks for watching. I haven't been able to find Strum and Thrum yet, but I'm keeping my eye out. I think it was just officially released. Can't wait to hear it! Jangle on! :-)
@@TheOmahaIntrovert also, where do you shop when in Portland? I am originally from there and still go back to visit family every year. I usually hit a few record stores when I am there. Music millennium being one.
One other artist who is one of my all-time favorites that never got his due. Jules Shear who's a long-time recording artist who wrote a ton of great, well-crafted tunes. He did 3 albums with his band Jules and The Polar Bears in the late 70s THe last one aptly called Bad for Business wasn't released until years later. He also recorded a number of superb solo records. He wrote a hit for the Bangles and Cyndi Lauper. If you haven't discovered yet, I highly recommend. Have a great weekend! Gary
Hey there, Gary! You know, I've seen a Jules & the Polar Bears LP a few times while out digging, but I never picked it up because I wasn't familiar. Now I know to sample these ahead of time so when I see again I may be interested in grabbing! Thanks for bringing Jules to my attention! :-)
Another awesome video! The vocals on the Pandoras sounds like Kat Bjelland. I'm totally going to check that out. Also where did you get those cool lights in the back?
Hi Andy! Weren't the Pandoras badass?! Glad you're digging them! Oh, I got my string lights off of Amazon. They were cheap and have different settings! Cheers and thanks for watching!
Hey, love your channel and this particular topic is wonderful. I'm a big Robyn Hitchcock fan too! I'm writing to thank you for reminding me to listen to some of these bands. I pulled out a cassette mix tape I made in the early 80s that featured a number of Rain Parade and Long Ryder songs. I have to get these on vinyl again, having sold many of my albums in the past and am starting to recollect. Having been from Norfolk, I'm curious if you can recommend any Omaha record stores other than Homer's, which I used to visit often while in high school. Stay cool!
Hi Tim. I'm thrilled you stumbled on this series I did! I had a lot of fun with it! I bet that cassette mix tape you had is incredible! So, unfortunately Omaha lost 3 good record stores last year - Ear Wax, Almost Music, and the Drastic Plastic store. Drastic Plastic now exists on the upper level of the Monster Club, but the vinyl selection is very limited and they have been closed during COVID. There is a new store in the Old Market called Vinyl Cup. I recommend you stop by. it's a nice new store. Also check out Record Benders and 402 Vinyl, both in Bellevue. If you want to venture out a bit farther for a road trip, Sioux Falls, South Dakota has some pretty amazing stores...especially Total Drag! I wish Omaha had more...
Jangle on!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Thanks Hanna....I'm now in the Kansas City area and will definitely check these stores out the next time I'm in Omaha! Due to a vinyl sell in the 90s when CDs took the market, I need to recollect some jangly vinyl!
Hi Hanna. I'm going to be watching these three videos in reverse. I've been waiting for ages for someone to do a whole video on The Paisley Underground as it's a movement that's always mystified me a bit. I've never heard The Rain Parade, Dream Syndicate, Long Riders, Green on Red, never even heard of The Three O'Clock (but I love Jellyfish). Always on the look-out for Emergency Third Rail Powertrip by Rain Parade, but never see it around. Had no idea of the Mazzy Star connection. I only got my first Bangles record (All Over The Place) last year, shocking! Great video, cheers, James
Thanks so much, James. Good to hear from you. This was a really fun series to do. Ah, Jellyfish fans unite! I think I saw that you have Bellybutton on vinyl! Glad I was able to inform you a bit more on the paisley underground! Hope you find Emergency Third Rail on vinyl soon. Really is a gem! Cheers, and hope all is well!
Hi Hannah. I can't keep up with the sub genres to the sub genres, but that's what I count on you for lol. I always jot down a number of artists I'm not familiar with and want to investigate further when I watch your videos. I was a little kid in the sixties and The Byrds sound is in my DNA and I always enjoy it when I hear it filtered through newer artists. Till the next one ✌🌥⛅🌤🌞
Hi Robert! Consider me the subgenre girl of TH-cam! Ha! Oh yeah, what these jangle pop bands all have in common is that they're massively influenced by the Byrds and other 60s greats! It all goes back to the 50s and 60s anyway. ;-) I appreciate your comment and thank you for always being loyal to my channel! Enjoy the weekend!
I first heard 3 oclock and bangles from a guy from ca while in the army.I think he said bangles orig name was the bangs,i not sure if thats true or if they released anything under that name
Hi Chester! Happy mid-week to you! Yes, the Bangles were called the Bangs early on. :-) Your friend in the army knew what was good! See you next time!
I must be liveing under a rock the only groups that you listed off that I have heard of was Bangles and Dream Syndicate. but I do enjoy the videos that you make. you have a good day.
So glad I was able to introduce you to some other groups from this era, my friend! The 80s really churned out some fantastic bands! Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for watching.
Loved these videos on jangle pop. All three of them! Have you heard of the la's or the stone roses? They're pretty good as well!
Hi Nish! Thanks for watching my jangle pop series! Really glad you enjoyed them! Oh yes, I love the La's and Stone Roses. I have their CDs! Brilliant jangle! Take care. I'll have a power pop update after my favorites of 2020 video! Cheers!
Hi Hanna , Living in Los Angeles in the early 80's , I saw all these bands The Bangles , The Dream Syndicate , The Three O'clock , Green On Red , Rain Parade ... 16 Tambourines is my favorite by The Three O'clock with " A Day In Erotica " being the highlight along with the near hit " Jet Fighter " Opal put out the great Happy Nightmare Baby only to have singer Kendra bail mid tour. Her replacement , a teenager named Hope Sandoval ! Her & David decided to carry on as Mazzy 🌟. Fun Fact - Arthur Lee ✍ 5 string Serenade for Mazzy 🌟. In closing I used to date Gwynne from The Pandora's sister. Gwynne was dating Joe Nolte from The Last whose album " LA Explosion " is classic ! Seek it out on Bomp. As for her sister , she bailed on me for Tom Verlaine ! RIP Kim Shattuck. It was fun being young in Los Angeles in the 80's. All the best Hanna ! Shoegaze coming next 😎
David - hey there! It indeed is fascinating and incredible that you got to see all these bands in their heyday! Yeah, 16 Tambourines is a definite fave! Hope Sandoval was quite the replacement, eh? You had some very cool connections with the Pandoras and everything! Sorry about Gwynne's sister bailing on you for Tom Verlaine. L.A. was quite the place to be in the early 80s! You have some rad stories, my friend! Yep, shoegaze is coming! :-)
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Hi Hanna , If you have a half hour to spare check out the Trash Theory video on Shoegaze posted today. It's cool ! ✌
Well said Hanna...E.L.E. my friend✌🏻n ❤️
Great job, very informative. My favorite genre is the jangle pop / power pop. You would really enjoy Athens for that style. The record store lo yo yo stuff stocks those hard to find items. Wuxtry has some good stuff also. You probably already know these but didn’t hear them mentioned - Big Dipper , the reverbs “trusted woods”, the boys “ you make me shake”, the strand “you and me” , the stems, really 3rds “everyday everyday” , - off the top of my head ok I’ll stop now, thanks for the videos you do a good job !!
Hi Bo! I can never seem to find anything by the Stems. I love Big Dipper and have a 3-CD retrospective of theirs. I appreciate you watching and you have great taste! Thanks for being here!
Hi
Glad you’re back, great video. It looks like you have a better camera now.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed this one! I think all I did was change the resolution setting. Glad it's a bit better quality! Cheers!
The Omaha Introvert The picture looks more realistic. I got a supposedly 4k tv recently maybe that’s why.
Are you gonna do a power pop 3?
Or that’s it❤️
I will be doing a massive power pop collection update video...maybe 2 parts! :-)
Welcome Back Hanna, you've been missed :) you haven't missed a beat here, wonderful stuff on this paisley underground deep dive. It seems that 1981 was a helluva year over in California!! I haven't heard every band here but of the ones I have I'd line up with you on Emergency Third Rail Power Trip as the pick and highlight of the alumni. That said, I've not heard the Three O clock (lovely of Digital Gramophone to send it thru) and the Pandoras. That's a nice idea for the RSD comp of bands covering each other, something you don't see very often at all. If I find that dream syndicate or green on red I'll be grabbing them. I like you showing the kindred spirits of paisley underground with the Jazz Butcher and the Verlaines. It got me thinking - I used to lump bangs like the Church and the Stems in there, but I'd probably be happier now keeping Paisley underground to the US (LA even) from 81-86. But as you show, there's a lot of kindred spirits in 80s psychedelia... now there's another niche video!! Fantastic stuff here, really enjoyed. And an excellent thought to leave on - we are all having a weird year together, but supporting each other thru it will make it easier. have a great weekend Hanna, take care :)
Dean, hey there! 1981 was magic for this movement, for sure! The 80s as a whole had it going on for incredible music, right?! Cheers that you agree that Emergency Third Rail from Rain Parade is the standout album/winner! Hope you like the Three O'clock after giving them a sample. Michael's vocals can maybe take a bit of getting used to, but they were brilliant - especially those early offerings! 3x4 is a unique and worthy collaborative comp! Ah, you mentioned the Stems...didn't the leader of the group recently pass away? :-( Their stuff is pretty rare. 80s psychedelia - oh yeah, that would be another idea for a video! As my collection expands more, that's one I'm keeping in mind and if I ever carry through, you get the shoutout! Oh yes, kindness and respect goes a long way. I"m thankful for you and my other pals in this community! You have a good weekend as well! Thank you!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert that's right, the Stems guitarist Richard Lane passed away, forgot that😔
Took you long enough!, but worth the wait. ;)
I got a lot of the Paisley Underground stuff when it first came out. You may think that makes me lucky, but it also makes me old! LOL
'Emergency Third Rail Power Trip' is my 2nd favourite PU album. The first is one of the inevitable recommendations you know are coming.
My absolute favourite PU album is The Dream Syndicate's second studio album - 'Medicine Show'. I absolutely adore that album, to the extent that I paid well over the odds for the first CD pressing after it was deleted. Of course, they remastered & reissued it not that long afterwards.
Another one you must find is an obscure covers album, called 'Rainy Day'. Rainy Day were a sort of PU supergroup, consisting of David Roback, Dennis Mehaffey, Karl Precoda, Kendra Smith, Matt Piucci, Michael Quercio, Steven Roback, Susanna Hoffs, Vicki Peterson & Will Glenn. Kendra Smith did the cover art, which brings it into Mazzy's latest thread.
They cover 'I'll Keep It With Mine', 'Flying On The Ground Is Wrong', 'Sloop John B.', 'Holocaust', 'I'll Be Your Mirror', 'Rainy Day, Dream Away' & others. I've always loved it.
You have an amazing talent for reminding me about UK bands I used to love that I'd all but forgotten. I need to go on a Woodentops hunt!
I await the Shoegaze update with great interest.
Hey Dave! Yes, this took me a bit! Thank you for your patience, my friend! So glad you also rate Emergency Third Rail Power Trip very highly! Wow, since you praise Medicine Show and rank it as #1, I'm gonna have to give it a more thorough sample! Isn't it frustrating to pay quite a bit for an album, only to have a reissue come out soon after?! I have done that!
Ah, you reminded me about 'Rainy Day.' I think Matt, a friend who comments on here from time to time, also brought them up to me but I just forgot about them! I need to give it a listen because those are choice songs to cover!
Hope you find the Woodentops! I'll be sampling the last album they recorded soon! Glad I was able to flip a switch about some of those brilliant UK bands, too! Shoegaze will be a fun video(s) to put together! Cheers!
The Bangles' All over the Place is a classic. They were the best all-girl band ever, outdoing the Go-Gos, which did make a good documentary just released. XTC did a wonderful homage to some ot those jangley bans on Dukesof the Stratrosphere. They used instruments that were used then to add to the authenticity.
Hi Gary! I definitely agree that the Bangles win over the Go-Gos, even though the Go-Gos were fab in their own right. I have that documentary recorded on the DVR and ready to watch! I have the Dukes of Stratosphear EP and full-length. Both are extraordinary! Not sure why I didn't mention them! I always forget something! Thank you for chiming in and watching! Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Thanks for such a quick response. Must say you do an exceptional job showcasing those underrated and under-appreciated bands. I should have known you have Dukes of Stratosphere. I've watched some of these record shows on TH-cam, but you are No. 1 in my book! Just listened to the undervalued Blue Oyster Cult "Mirrors" If you havent' heard it, I think you'd enjoy.
Thanks so much! I do love the obscure groups for some reason! So much fantastic music out there to explore! So glad you like my record showings! I'll have to check out Mirrors from BOC!
Awesome Hanna. Glad to see a new video. I’m at work tho. I’ll watch later.
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
9496Tull Hi Richard. 👋 I hope you have a great Friday!
The Omaha Introvert I’m off and just got finished watching your video. A lot of these I remember when they came out in the 80’s and I would just blow by them. During that time I was into stuff like the Police/Cars/Adam Ant/Prince. And heavy metal of course. I wish at the time I would have showed more attention. I like this genre now. The Bangles awesome. Susan Hoffs never ages. I love her more recent stuff with Mathew Sweet. Enjoyed the video. Cheers Hanna.
You know u always got my support 🙂
Hey there again! Nothing wrong with being into the more mainstream artists/groups of that time. I love them, too! I'm with you on Susanna Hoffs latest collaborations with Matthew Sweet! Under the Covers - great stuff! I appreciate you sticking by me, Richard! Cheers!
Funny you mentioned LOVE. I just got off work. Chilling with a 🍷and spinning an OG Out Here by LOVE on the Blue Thumb label. I really dig Mazzy Star but didn't know about that connection. Thanks for the tidbit. Bangles are nostalgic. Some of my favorite ear candy. I've kept my eyes out for that Pandoras but haven't spotted one yet. Legit album, dig the vocals.
Nice spotlight on that Rickenbacker. Some of the most beautiful instruments.
Thanks for the video. Your vids feel like kicking it at your spot. That my goal with my vids. Good vibes.
Be easy.👍🏻🤙🏼✌🏼
Hey Eric! Wow, we must have left comments on each other's videos at close to the same time! Both commenting on the chill crib vibes! Out Here by Love is one I haven't heard yet. Is that a later album of theirs where Bryan Maclean is no longer with them? Oh yeah, that first Pandoras record is boss! 80s garage goodness! The Rickenbacker is a dream, isn't it? Hope your listening session continues this weekend! Peace.
Hi Hanna from Wales. I remember getting a few of these albums when they were released in the eighties. Loved most of them. Do you know The Green Panamas. Loved the videos.
Hi Stephen! Thanks for being here, and I hope all is well in Wales! I do not know about the Green Pajamas, but from what I'm reading, they are associated with the paisley underground and college rock scene of that time. Whoa, they have over 30 albums! Uh-oh, this may be my new obsession - diving into the Green Pajamas now! Thank you for bringing them to my attention! I appreciate the comment!
"Giant" by The Woodentops is so good, rarely listen to it these days but I know that, when I do, it'll sound better than ever.
It's such a superb album to revisit. No doubt it will sound amazing once you put it on the platter again!
I am loving your videos Hanna and keep up the good work, and i am like you i am in it for the music if its on vinyl or cds.
Thanks so much, Curtis! Need to keep those CDs and vinyl spinning. The format doesn't matter!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert You are so Welcome Hanna, and you are also right pn the cd and vinyl the format doesn't matter i buy both format in my music collection to.
The Panda's were tragically underated. Everybody watching this owes themselves a TH-cam dive on some early 80's live Pandoras.... don't worry about the later glam metal years. Don't know what Paula was thinking there but, the early stuff is God like. It Felt Alright, You're All Talk, Hot Generation... etc. All the Nuggets influenced stuff.
All of it still holds up. She's definately missed.
I've been looking forward to Part 3 of the Jangle Pop series. I've been playing The Connells' Boylan Heights a lot lately. Great score on the Green On Red Japanese pressing. I'm a big fan and I also like Chuck Prophet's output after leaving the band. Just wanted to let you know that I got the newest Close Lobsters on vinyl and you are right; they haven't lost a beat and it is just as good as their earlier albums (Foxheads Stalk This Land has been a favorite). You listed a couple of bands that I am unfamiliar with and will have to check out. Take care.
Hi Randall! Thank you for watching. Glad you've been enjoying Boylan Heights from the Connells. What a consistent, talented band! I have yet to dive more into Chuck Prophet's solo work, but I've had several nudges to do so! I'm thrilled that you picked up the new Close Lobsters release on wax! It definitely is just as wonderful as their earlier offerings. Foxheads is still my favorite out of their catalog, but their latest is impressive and I'm so glad we have it to enjoy! Enjoy your Sunday!
Hanna, do you any albums from the artists, who influenced the Paisley Underground, i.e. Love, The Byrds, et. al?
Hi Al! Thanks for watching! Of course! Check out my very first jangle pop episode here: th-cam.com/video/FAdBdI58Oyc/w-d-xo.html I'm even wearing a Byrds shirt in it! Also, I did a Byrds ranking video a while back: th-cam.com/video/aFunIBxT2hA/w-d-xo.html
I also own all of the Love albums up through Four Sail! Fantastic bands!
Hi Hanna. Good to see you back. Liked the positive ending here. Besides Bangles i don't really have anything though i did get Green On Red mixed up with Hindu Love Gods for a moment.

Thanks, Pasi. I always try to live with a positive and upbeat attitude and unfortunately, there are plenty who are down and negative at the moment, which I can understand given this horrible year. We should be lifting each other up...especially when this is a music community after all! I've only heard of the Hindu Love Gods, but haven't heard any of their tunes! Funny you got them mixed up with Green on Red! Hope you are well and spinning lots of good music! Later.
Hi Hanna, enjoyed this a lot. Reminded me of the "good old days". Rain Parade's first 45 "What She's Done to Your Mind" b/w "Kaleidoscope" is great as is Salvation Army's first 45 "Mind garden.' Both heavily recommended. Annette Zalinskis, the first Bangles bassist, supplied the 4th of their 4 part harmonies. She later became lead vocalist for Blood on the Saddle. Also loved Annette's replacement Micki Steele who also had lead vocals from time to time. Saw the Pandoras live once. They were loud and fun. They also did an "original" song whose title escapes me but it was a rip off of "How Is The Air Up There" by the Changin' Times and La De Da's (New Zealand band). Anyway, good job and keep jangling.
Hi Gary! Thanks for taking the time to watch and for leaving a thoughtful comment! I'm thinking I need to pick up that self-titled Salvation Army release very soon. Ah, thanks for the info on Annette Zalinskis. I need to check out Blood on the Saddle! I really miss harmonies. You don't find harmonies too much in modern music. It's just not as plentiful as it once was. Wow, you got to see the Pandoras - nice! Love how rowdy and rockin' they were! So glad you enjoyed this last jangle pop installment. Since it's a favorite subgenre, there will probably be an update from time to time! Peace.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert If you haven't yet, you might want to pick up the Bangles Sweetheart of the Sun. Immaculate harmonies. A real joy (full) listen.
Thank you for the recommendation! I appreciate it!
living in so cal during the 80s all these bands were very talked about in the day ,and as youve shown they were all good ,i love that sound and for me dream syndicate really were an awesome band that really could have been from the mid to late sixties, that style of music also was a breakaway from what else was 80s popular,new wave,dance ect,problem for paisley underground they were part of a scene that had come and gone and with exceptions of a few bands, long ryders,bangles,that were able to break out with success,it was a scene that as you have shown deserved a better look and with time we can go back and found gems, so thanks for that im going to somehow get the rain parade album(your favorite), i passed on that so many times in 80s,but yeah i believe i need to change that , pandoras were great deserved much more success , most all female bands seem to kick ass and really rock without the hangups male bands have ego and jealousy issues, they may but its not as obvious , when they break up its usually a financial issue . another nice video ,that you did the work to put together for us, thanks,cheers and as you stay safe KTF.
Hi Harold! Great to hear from you. I find it fascinating how some of these bands may have started more garage-y or psych influenced but then morphed more into an Americana sound. Interesting to see a band's growth! Hope you are able to get a copy of Rain Parade's Emergency Third Rail Power Trip! What a stunning album! I agree with what you said about female bands kicking ass and not letting ego get to them as much as some male counterparts! Glad you enjoyed this installment! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Cheers!
Hi Hanna - wow, Game Theory! I hadn't thought about them for a while. Their song "24" is so awesome. Oh man...I love Emergency Third Rail Power Trip too! I would like to get Explosions in the Glass Palace. Glad to see you have it. I love Crashing Dream too! That was the first Rain Parade album I heard when it came out. I saw the Bangles at La Fiesta street festival in San Antonio in 1985! Hoodoo Gurus also played...cool show. I have a fantastic Green on Red bootleg tape of live performances. I would offer to make you a copy but I think the recording side of my tape deck drags. Great looking copy of that Verlaines record...I've heard it but never had it. Those CD comps look awesome! I enjoyed the janglepop rundown Hanna! ~ Randy
Hey there, Randy! I haven't been too active in the "VC" as of late, so I apologize I haven't stopped by for your videos. Game Theory were a solid band. I recently picked up a Loud Family CD, which Scott Miller formed after Game Theory. Also a great band! Crashing Dream was my first listening experience and album I bought from the Rain Parade as well! Wow, the Bangles/Hoodoo Gurus on the same bill in '85! What a show that must have been! No worries on that Green on Red boot. Sweet of you to offer, though. I'm gonna get a new tape deck in the future. Mine bit the dust. Haha. The Verlaines are pretty hard to come by in the wild! I did a double take! So glad you stopped by! Later!
Saw green on red, rain parade, long ryders, and dream syndicate here in the Uk back in the 80s this is a great video I thought I was the only person left who was into these bands lol, check out the miracle workers from back then think you’ll like them.
Thanks, Wayne! Glad you checked out my appreciation video for the paisley underground! I'll look into the Miracle Workers! I appreciate the recommendation!
