HANG UPS - Second Story (US Restless '99. Three years later this new
album introduces a British influence, equal parts Kinks & Belle & Sebastian.
Unaffected is the quality of songs all of which are impeccably judged
pop classics set in a shining Mitch Easter production) 8.00
BRADY HARRIS - Lone Star (US Lampshade '03. Great blend of Beatle-ish
melodies wrapped in an alt-country coat and very nice too. Recommended!)
10.00
HEAVY BLINKERS - Better Weather (Canada Brobdingnagian '01. Continuing
their Wilsonesque journeys.) 8.00
RICHARD X HEYMAN - Cornerstone (US Permanent Press '98. This album
is a real treat. Melodic songs a la Chris Von Sneidern, Tommy Keene with
a Byrdsian 12-string imprint. Exceptional, vibrant songwriting.) 8.00
RICHARD X HEYMAN - Hey Man! (US Sire '91. Found a couple of copies of this early CD) 12.00
HIERONYMUS
FIREBRAIN - There (Magnetic)
6.00
CLIFF HILLIS - Be Seeing You(US Not Lame '01. Ex-Starbelly and member
of John Faye Powertrip. One of last years best pop albums. Intelligent
songwriting, great voice & a real grower. Another winner from Not
Lame! ) 8.00
ROBYN HITCHCOCK - s/t (UK Sequel '95 10 track Promotional CD. 9 tracks are from previous LPs + one (then) unreleased track - "Statue with a walkman) 10.00
HITCHCOCK'S REGRET - Her life in Reverse (Aussi Laughing Outlaw '03.
Michael Carpenter turns in his finest production yet, to make this one
of the the best that the Laughing Outlaw label has yet released. Hook
laden intelligent sophisticated pop songs that shine with quality and
depth with imaginative and dynamic playing through out. Every track is
dripping with beautifully crafted detail brought to warm passionate life
by a multi-layered production.) 8.00
KRISTIAN HOFFMAN - Earthquake weather (Eggbert coh) 5.00
MARKUS HOLLER - Achin’ For Summer (UK Sugarbush ’02. Markus was in
the Fortunate Sons & then Silent Blue. In 1990 he added Rick Corcoran(Orgone
Box) and Tam Johnston (General Store) to the band and they both feature
on some the songs here, although most of it is Holler on his own – all
written & recorded around ’90 -’91. The music is highly infectious
guitar driven power pop with big, hook filled choruses a la Flamin’ Groovies
or Tom Petty) 5.00

HOPEFUL MONSTER - s/t (Canada Brobingnagian) 8.00
HORMONES - Where old ghosts meet (V2 '98. Marc Carroll's band

NEILSON HUBBARD - Why Men Fail (US Parasol '00. Superb 2nd album helped
out by Peter Holsapple, Garrison Starr, David Lowery, Will Kimbrough,
etc. Beautiful dreamy ballads mostly with a Big Star earnestness
about it. Excellent!) 8.00
NEILSON HUBBARD - Sing Into Me (US Parasol '03) 8.00
IDLE WILDS - Dumb Gifted & Beautiful (US Ardent. A killer album
no two ways about it. A punk band briefly but they went for a more melodic
sound and it's certainly all that, but with a real driving, punchy feel
to it-brilliant!) 8.00
IDLE WILDS - Unheard (US Kool Cat '00. Technically, it's a 15 track
look at their earlier 92- 96 stuff, but it plays like a brilliant follow-up
and a timely reminder of what a great band they really are/were.) 6.00
JACK AND JILL - Fancy Birdhouse (Magnetic ) 6.00
ED JAMES – Poprocket (US JAM ’02. Super clean, smooth vocals, vintage

harmony breaks and a polished production.) 6.00

JELLY BRICKS - Power This (US Kool Kat Musik '04. Superfine &
classy power pop produced by Cliff Hillis to perfection. Immediate
satisfaction guaranteed!)8.00
JEREMY - Pop rules (Jam '01) 6.00
JOE, MARC'S BROTHER - s/t (US Blurge '96. Here's a gravelly, soulful
voice (Joe Pisapia) wrapped round some damn fine songs that at times get
close to Falkner country which is just my kind of place) 8.00
JOE, MARC'S BROTHER - Around the Year (US '00. Produced by Brad
Jones, this 2nd album continues the great work and gets more experimental
at times) 8.00
JOHAN - s/t (Dutch Excelsior/Spinart'96. Another fantastic band
from Holland on the excellent Excelsior label. Consistently one of my
faves, and not surprising because it takes up the racket from bands like
Velvet Crush, Teenage Fanclub, Weird Summer etc., cranks up the power
& dynamics a few notches and serves up a real scorcher - crammed full
of superb melodies) 8.00
JTG IMPLOSION (US Not Lame '03. This is a project by Star Collector's
Joe Giddings, and just like the band, this rocks and pops most
wonderfully. All the guitars, harmonies and catchy songs you could ask
for tied up in a quality package. Highly recommended!) 8.00
GARY JULES - Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets (US self produced
'01) 6.00
JUNE & THE EXIT WOUNDS - A little more Haven Hamilton please
(Parasol) 8.00
DAMIEN JURADO - Rehearsals for Departure (SubPop/Ryko '99. Excellent
singer--songwriter equally at home with introspective ballads or up-beat
pop. Prod by Ken Stringfellow) 8.00
MATT KEATING - Tiltawhirl (Poptones) 6.00
TOMMY KEENE - Drowning - a Tommy Keene Miscellany (US Not Lame
'04. 20 track collection of unreleased tracks, demos and out-takes.) 8.00
JEFF KELLY (Green Pajamas) - For the Swan in the Hallway (US A Hidden Agenda '04. Superb solo album) 10.00
PERRY KEYES - Meter (Aussi Laughing Outlaw '05. 2xCDs. This starts
off like a rootsy, rocky, Springsteen-like affair and then turns into
a truly Boss album, full of great songs based on experience &
observations, packing a pretty mighty punch all it's own. Highly recommended!)
