Albums to enjoy a pot of tea with #3 The Lives of Charles Douglas

This absolute gem of a record was actually released in the late 90's and despite it's sheer brilliance, did at that time fall on deaf ears. However it has a happy ending as having been released towards the end of 2010 it's become one of the favourite albums here at the Tuckshop HQ. Scuzzy guitars and garage drums punch through one slacker anthem after another filling you with images of lazy summer days with very few cares.

From what i can gather Charles Douglas was some young upstart kicking around in New York in 1997 and recorded this album pretty much live in something like 10 days. It totally sounds like a New York record, further emphasised by Velvet Undergrounds Mo Tucker filling in on drums (legend suggests this was as a last minute stand in as the band had no drummer)It's also worth a listen,so turn on the kettle, tuck into your burger king and embrace being a waster.






















The Lives of Charles Douglas has been released by Broken Horse so go check it out.

Monday Mania: You Say France and I whistles OMG video

There a lot of reasons why you should pay more attention to You Say France and I whistle. They come from Sweden, most of them sport long hair and beards, they seem to like soft toys, but most importantly they make very, very good records. Full of jangly melodic Scandinavian sophistication their last EP aptly named 2008 was probably one of the best EP's I've ever been sent and was played nonstop for months.

2011 should be a cracker for YSF&IW as they've just released a brilliant follow up EP called Angry Boy. Once again it's full of uplifting riffs and catchy melodies and hasn't left the Tuckshop jukebox, since it's purchase last week. Here is the video to the first track OMG which features beautiful countryside and grown people dressing up as animals:perfect to ease you into this Monday morning.



Check out YSF&IW at www.yousayfrance.com and pick up a copy of both their EP's.

Albums to enjoy a pot of tea with #2 Wolf Peoples Steeple

Released last year, Wolf Peoples Steeple is one of those rare albums, if not the only one, that hurls you onto a sturdy white horse running at full pelt, taking you on a journey through misty lands, strange beasts, wizard like folk and dark mountains. Full of magical mystery, It’s actually the sort of stuff that I could imagine my dad listened to when he was back at art college, when his hair was long with a head full of psychedelic dreams. This album (the second one by Wolf People) is a recording full of Screaming guitars and folky vocals mixed with thumping flutes and crashing cymbals, thus creating a wall of joyful haze that one can easily get lost in.

Tuckshop Community Radio have long been admirers of Wolf People since stumbling across their myspace page by chance a few years back. We have loved every release since and have no doubt that these guys have further lands to conquer which we hope to enjoy. Go pick up up a copy of Steeple now!
