| | Wedding Present Bizarro CD Wedding Present Discography of CDs
The Wedding Present has added seven extra tracks to their 1989 album BIZARRO, among them the B-sides from earlier hit singles "Brassneck" and "Kennedy."
Two years on from their debut album, the Wedding Present delivered a proper sophomore effort, one quite distanced from the jangle punk days of 1987's George Best. Though David Gedge's obsession with the lovelorn had by no means disappeared, the band finally found a way to frame his lyrics properly, resulting in a darker album with more emotional weight where needed. "Brassneck," the Weddoes' first collaboration with engineer Steve Albini, became their biggest hit yet, peaking at Number 24 on the British charts. ~ John Bush
Originally released in 1989 now includes 7 bonus tracks all the B-sides from the hit singles Kennedy and Brassneck. Standard jewelcase in a slipcase. Wedding Present Bizarro Songs Bizarro Review

Bizarro album
 $13.25   
Although the Wedding Present would go on to make more nuanced and refined albums later in its career, this 1987 debut full-length captures the band at its sweetly rambunctious best. Mixing a thunderous tidal wave of fuzzed-out guitars with classic pop melodies played at a furious clip, GEORGE BEST is the sound of a precocious bunch of young hipsters trying to recreate Phil Spector's Wall of Sound with a limited musical arsenal--consisting of drums, bass, and guitars--and very little cash. Frontman David Gedge, who also writes the songs and plays guitar, sings ...

TAKE FOUNTAIN (2005) is the first album by the Wedding Present since 1996's SATURNALIA. As always, though, the band is merely a name for a clutch of musicians working around singer/songwriter David Gedge. While TAKE FOUNTAIN has traces of the Wedding Present's classic recipe of driving dynamics and epic electric guitars, it bears a closer resemblance to Gedge's previous project, Cinerama. The opener, "Interstate 5," for example, kicks off with chugging, amped-up rock guitars, then segues into a evocative soundtrack-like music.
Gedge also continues Cinerama's penchant for breezy, tightly crafted pop, replete with ...
| | Bloc Party Silent Alarm CD (2005)
Bizarro album
$10.79 
On this immensely appealing debut, SILENT ALARM, the London-based quartet Bloc Party fulfills the promise of their barnstorming 2004 singles "Banquet" and "She's Hearing Voices." Led by magnetic frontman Kele Okereke, the band extracts the most fascinating aspects of the previous 25 years of British indie rock and fuses them into a new entity--complete with smarts and heart--never delving into retro-kitsch or slavish imitation.
Okerere's urgent yelp most often recalls a fired-up incarnation of the Cure's Robert Smith, but the sounds the group creates echo everything from Gang of Four's staccato militarism ("Banquet") to the reverberating guitars of the Chameleons ("Price of Gas"). At times, Bloc Party also recalls the ecstatic ...
| | Wire 154 CD (1979) Remastered; Digipak
Bizarro CD music
$12.79
Like its predecessor, 1977's CHAIRS MISSING, 154 finds Wire moving away from its punk roots toward darker, more experimental horizons. There is less overt anger and insolence than in the past, and in its place is plenty of dark weirdness. Truly disturbing at certain points, this album is a challenging listen. This is not a record to slap on while you clean up the house.
Beginning with the sinister "I Should Have Known Better" a song that has so little to do with the same-titled Beatles song that it really is scary, 154 follows with the shambling, atonal "Two ...

Bizarro CD music
$15.95
RPM's Lipsmackin' 70s series is one of the most delightful events in pop reissues in 2003, since it plays on two key points for pop record collectors: it is music that is both totally obscure and uniformly excellent. These two traits don't necessarily go hand in hand, and record collectors are known to convince themselves that obscure music is obscure because it is obscure, but the producers behind Lipsmackin' 70s have a knack for finding forgotten minor hits, B-sides, neglected album tracks, overlooked artists, songs recorded under aliases, and other assorted pop ephemera. Some of this stuff is so arcane that it's easy to dismiss on paper as mere oddities, but it plays brilliantly, since the compilers have excellent taste and excellent sequencing skills. These traits were all apparent on the first two installments of the series: the deliriously gaudy Velvet Tinmine and Magpie, an appealingly shambolic odds 'n' ends collection of TV themes, commercials, covers, and kitsch classics. The same spirit carries through on the third installment, ZigZag: 20 Junkshop Soft Rock Singles 1970-1974, but the music it chronicles isn't nearly as trashy as its two predecessors. ZigZag chronicles British pop singer/songwriters of the early '70s, musicians equally inspired by Dylanesque folkies and lush, orchestrated post-Sgt. Pepper pop. Although this is certainly music of its time, and therefore is often viewed through rose-tinted nostalgia or wrongly seen as camp, ...
