    Of course! I can't remember where I first read about some of these bands, but I've been working my way through them the past few months and still keeping my out for a few more. Kind of a mixture of 60s psychedelic folk rock (like the Byrds) with Post-Punk/New Wave. I guess a lot of these bands are contemporaries of early R.E.M., but a little more sonically adventurous IMO (those guitar sounds!). A lot of the bands never really got their due. The Bangles were the only ones to really make it big.

    Anyway, here are a few of the highlights below and some more info.

    Days of Wine and Roses by The Dream Syndicate (this is kind of the defining album of the scene)

    Emergency Third Rail Power Trip by Rain Parade (members from this group became Opal, who later became Mazzy Star in the 90s)

    Sixteen Tambourines by The Three O'Clock

    Yeah, this is all great. Thanks for posting. I thought I had mined the 80’s pretty well, but I haven’t heard any of these bands.

    Saw the Mothers at the Catacombs in 1968. Ditto! The sound quality was much better at the club, or maybe not!

    Coming Home - Pusha T ft. Lauryn Hill and produced by Kanye West

    It's Lauryn's first song in years, Rolling Stone wrote about it as well.

    How Pusha T Secured the First Lauryn Hill Feature in Years


    Rapper discusses his new track “Coming Home,” his new criminal justice reform initiative, and teaching Kanye West what “charcuterie” means

    1511 days, 36,264 hours, 2,175,840 minutes, and 130,550,400 seconds passed from the last time Ms. Lauryn Hill released recorded music, until the release of “Coming Home” on Wednesday. Pusha Tstill seems in disbelief that the elusive Hill said “yes” to giving him a feature. Sonically, “Coming Home” is the antithesis of the sinister and nihilistic coke raps that the Daytona rapper has spent the past two decades turning into high art. Built on a cacophony of bright whistles and a pitched-up vocal sample, the Kanye West, Mike Dean, and Charlie Heat-produced song is by far the most uplifting song in his decade-spanning discography. Hearing Hill sing, “When love is real, you can do anything” after Pusha T spent the bulk of 2018 becoming hip-hop’s greatest anti-hero seems almost too outlandish to be true.

    Pusha T, Lauryn Hill Unite on Kanye West-Produced New Song 'Coming Home'


    But from the minute Pusha heard the instrumental, he knew “Coming Home” deserved something he’s not used to giving. “I remember having the beat and was like, ‘Man, I think this is bigger than what Pusha T really does. What he’s known to do,'” he says over the phone. “I felt like the track itself had a feel good music. It had that feeling to it. I was like ‘This needs to have a bit of a message to it.’” Over three verses, Pusha T maps the effects of mass incarceration on the black community while striving to uplift the people still behind bars. The song’s release coincides with the announcement of the “Third Strike Coming Home Campaign,” an initiative “to free people serving life in prison today under yesterday’s outdated 3 Strikes Drug Law,” according to a press release. In partnership with Brittany K. Barnett’s Buried Alive Project and MiAngel Cody’s The Decarceration Collective, Pusha T is looking to help prisoners serving life sentences for federal drug crimes.

    It's been more than thirty years. More than half of the members should have decayed into a very stable band called Zirconium 90.

    I've been listening to Pixies - Doolittle and Surfer Rosa for about a week on loop
