The Church - Under The Milky Way
Seeing as I just posted a song adjacent to to The Church, it would be remiss of me to not add this classic to the annals of this Lemmy Community.
Snapper - Death and Weirdness In The Surfing Zone
Band: Snapper Song Title: Death and Weirdness In The Surfing Zone Released on Flying Nun Records http://www.flyingnun.co.nz/ Available from http://flyingout.co.nz/
Where I grew up, non-commercial radio stations weren't all to the "left of the dial". There were some that broadcast in the 100MHz and above frequencies. This meant that one fateful day, while tuning my radio, I came across a station called 3PBS 106.7. They had a late night show dedicated to New Zealand indie/alternative music…pretty niche.
To cut the story short, I think I taped the show onto a cassette and this track was one of a few that really caught my fancy. Snapper were from Dunedin and this track, from their first EP, was unlike anything that I had ever heard.

The House Of Love — Destroy the Heart
A track that was not originally on their self-titled debut album, but was added to later versions. It was voted single of the year in John Peel's Festive Fifty.

Welsh band The Darling Buds were at one time considered part of a short lived "Blonde" movement along with bands like The Primitives and Transvision Vamp. They had some pretty catchy tunes like this one from their first of 3 albums released between 1989 and 1992.

The La's - There She Goes

Released in 1988, it was re-released in 1990 alongside its inclusion on The La’s self-titled and only album. I once had a house mate who loved this album and I would probably agree with his opinion that it is an almost perfect LP. Sixpence None the Richer covered this song in 1999, but the original is far superior!
