Various - Boys Will Be Girls - The Roots Of Britpop (@256)












It was 10 years ago, by the end of summer, when Oasis released their album "Be Here Now". The numerous fans were expecting the third masterpiece in a row... but they were disappointed (at least most of them). It wasn't that it was a bad album, it was simply much different to what Oasis had released since; heavier and slower, without obvious singles. Some months later, it was proved that this album finally had put the tombstone in the whole britpop era, which undoubtedly gave us some unforgettable albums and songs.
This latest upload offers a premium cd offered by the German issue of Rolling Stone which explores the sound that influenced many of the artists of the britpop boom.

Tracklisting:
01 Television Personalities - Part Time Punks
02 The Pastels - Anne Boleyn
03 The Vaselines - Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam
04 Talulah Gosh - Talulah Gosh
05 The Wedding Present - This Boy Can Wait
06 The Woodentops - Move Me
07 Cleaners From Venus - Drowning Butterflies
08 The Jazz Butcher - Marnie (Muscovite Mix)

Mission Of Burma - VS. (1982) (@256)














It does not contain the ...Revolver track but I prefer this album (I consider it as one of the best of the post-punk era) from their EP "Signals, Calls and Marches" (which will be uploaded upon request).

FREEDOM TO BURMA

Once more the protesters in Rangoon prove that the people finally do find the strength to face any armed military forces and fight against any oppressive corrupted dictatorship, whatever the result. By the way, won't the Bush administration help now the citizens of Burma to get rid of the nasty dictators?



Update: Mission of Burma apparently
