Popcorn (sometimes Belgian Popcorn or oldies popcorn) is a style of music and dancing first established in Belgium in the 1970s and 1980s. The style includes a wide variety of mostly American and British recordings of R&B and soul made between the late 1950s and mid 1960s, often relatively obscure, and characterised by a slow or medium, rather than fast, tempo. The style has been described by musician and writer Bob Stanley as "possibly the last truly underground music scene in Europe".

EDDIE KENDRICKS - The Thin Man: The Motown Solo Albums, Vol. 2 (2006) @320
This triple-disc anthology complements Keep on Truckin': The Motown Solo Albums, Vol. 1. Included are Eddie Kendricks' mid- to late-'70s long-players Boogie Down!, The Hit Man, He's a Friend, Goin' Up in Smoke, and Slick, as well as seven previously unavailable sides excavated from the Motown vaults. Kendricks' post-"Keep on Truckin'" successes continued on Boogie Down!, topping the R&B LP chart and making a sizable impact on pop audiences thanks to the tracks "Boogie Down," "Tell Her Love Has Felt the Need," and the slinky funk-a-thon "Son of Sagittarius." Kendricks' arguably less polished The Hit Man chalked up two additional Top Ten R&B hits with "Get the Cream Off the Top" and "Happy." The latter is not the Rolling Stones tune, but does feature Kendricks' outstanding falsetto. Meanwhile, the Barrett Strong composition "Fortune Teller" is also distinguished for its stinging groove and solid backbeat. By the time of the generally uneven He's a Friend in 1976, the intensity and passion seem to be replaced by slick rhythms and equally superficial arrangements. There are a few excellent cuts, most notably the bedroom ballad "A Part of Me" and the hot-steppin' "It's Not What You Got," which made it into the Top Ten disco/dance survey. Similarly, the follow-up, Goin' Up in Smoke, would manage to yield the hit single "Goin' Up in Smoke." That said, the majority of the platter is essentially disco dreck, and one wonders whether titles such as "Thanks for the Memories" (no, not that one) and "Skeleton in Your Closet" were correlated to Kendricks' state of mind. Slick -- the artist's Motown swan song -- is a return to the more soulful sound that had informed much of his earlier solo work. The haunting refrain on "I Want to Live (My Life with You)," the warm and inviting "Intimate Friends," and the slightly funky interpretation of Seals & Crofts' "Diamond Girl" give it a definite edge over its predecessor. Most of the bonus selections are gleaned from the era surrounding 1972's People...Hold On. Compilers saved the best of the "lost and found" material for last with the outstanding "I'll Be Your Servant." Somehow the song initially slipped through the cracks, but luckily it has been resuscitated for listeners on this limited-edition set. (Lindsay Planer, Allmusic)

DOWN UNDER NUGGETS 1965-1967 @320
Play this collection for anyone who wants to know what Australian 60’s Garage sounds like, One of the very best garage comps ever released. As good as it gets.
Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era: 1965-1968 - or more simply put, just Nuggets - is arguably the most influential compilation in rock history. Original released in 1972, it pulled together killer tracks from mid-to-late '60s America. In doing so, it identified the genre we now know as 'garage rock' and helped set the foundations for what was to become 'punk rock' a few years later. Compiled by a young rock critic named Lenny Kaye, who would soon become known as Patti Smith's guitarist and right-hand man, Nuggets defined a mind-set that went on to influence punk, grunge, and subsequent generations of garage-rockers, from the Cramps to Nirvana to the White Stripes to Thee Oh Sees and Tame Impala. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Nuggets, Warner Music Australia is releasing 3 titles: Nuggets: Antipodean Interpolations of the First Psychedelic Era, Down Under Nuggets: Original Australian Artyfacts 1965-67 and a newly remastered edition of the original collection. Down Under Nuggets: Original Australian Artyfacts 1965-67 is a single cd collection of the best Australian garage-rock of the '60s. It features 29 of the wildest Australian recordings from the '60s from such outfits as The Missing Links, The Purple Hearts, The Black Diamonds, The Lost Souls, The Wild Cherries, The Loved Ones, The Throb and The Moods. Long term fans of the genre will be thrilled to find we've included the never-before heard full-length 5:29 version of The Sunsets' classic 'The Hot Generation' Released on the revived Festival label, it features many tracks originally released by Festival back in the day.

THE SONICS - This Is the Sonics (2015) @320
Decades after the release of their last album, garage rockers the Sonics are returning with a new LP, This Is the Sonics. The group, best known lately for their raucous 1965 recording of "Have Love Will Travel," heralded the news with a gritty, sax-powered single, "Bad Betty." Previously, the This Is the Sonics track appeared in a different version on a split seven-inch single with Mudhoney that came out on Record Store Day last year. Three of the band's original members – vocalist-keyboardist Jerry Roslie, guitarist-vocalist Larry Parypa and multi-instrumentalist Rob Lind, who plays sax, harmonica and sings – recorded the new album in "earth-shaking mono" with a rhythm section that has played with the Kingsmen and Dick Dale. Producer Jim Diamond recorded the band in Seattle, less than an hour's drive from the band's hometown of Tacoma. The album is due out on March 31st. (Rolling Stone)
If garage rock was conceived in the ’60s as the primal sound of teenage boredom, frustration, and angst, what does it mean when men in their seventies attempt to play it? There’s probably a deep and worthy discussion to be had somewhere in there, but the Sonics don’t give a shit about that, nor should they. The Tacoma band’s new release This Is the Sonics is their first studio album of all-new material in 49 years, and that fact alone is staggering. What’s even more remarkable, though, is how one of garage rock’s most legendary bands has dared to test their legend by making a record that spits, snarls, drools, honks, wails, and screams as if it were 1966 all over again.
Granted, recording with Jim Diamond doesn’t hurt. The former Dirtbombs bassist and famed producer of the White Stripes’ self-titled debut spares no grime or fuzz. The album was recorded mono, live in the studio. “Bad Betty”, the most powerful original composition on the album, hints at the rock-appropriated folklore of Black Betty in its title while remaining gleefully ignorant of anything except how to pound a riff into the ground in execution. Vocalist/keyboardist Jerry Roslie sings of the wild, leather-clad woman who puts his own savagery to shame, the septeguenarian whooping and screeching like a tomcat in heat.
Roslie is joined by fellow founding members Larry Parypa on guitar and vocals and Rob Lind on saxophone and vocals; the lineup is rounded out by bassist Freddie Dennis (a veteran of the Kingsmen, one of the Sonics’ Pacific Northwest garage-rock brethren in the ’60s) and drummer Dusty Watson. Together they lock into a single-minded, almost monomaniacal unit, pulverizing numbers like “Be a Woman” and “Spend the Night” into lumps of distorted, house-wrecking lust. Roslie’s voice, though, is the star. Still steeped in the R&B of his youth, his corroded pipes—which produced godlike shrieks on ’60s Sonics classics like “Strychnine”, “The Witch”, and “Have Love Will Travel”—sound somehow rawer.
R&B informed the Sonics’ unhinged passion from the get-go, and This Is the Sonics pays proper homage to the group’s roots. Willie Dixon’s “You Can’t Judge a Book by the Cover”—by way of Bo Diddley’s iconic version—is given a giddy workout, with Lind’s sax squawking nauseously over a jackhammer backbeat. Eddie Holland’s “Leaving Here” gets similar treatment; the fact that it’s one of garage rock’s most threadbare standards doesn’t keep the Sonics from putting a fresh coat of paint on it. The best cover on the album, though, is of Hank Ballard and the Midnighters’ “Look at Little Sister”, whose hoot-and-holler horniness is rendered simultaneously sleazy and boyish. (Pitchfork)

GERAINT WATKINS - Moustique '14 @320
On his fifth solo album Moustique, keyboardist Geraint Watkins -- best-known in the new millennium as a regular bandmate of Nick Lowe's, but his pub rock credentials stretch way back, running through a stint with Lowe's former Rockpile mate Dave Edmunds, and he once led a band called the Dominators, whose 1979 album isn't well-circulated -- sticks close to home, delivering another charming, understated set of well-tailored rock, late-night blues, blue-eyed soul, torch songs, and country, tinged with just a hint of '60s pop. If the blend sounds familiar, it's because not only has Watkins been working this territory since 1998's Watkins Bold as Love but because it's uncannily similar to Nick Lowe's latter-day work, too. Watkins is a warmer, gentler singer -- he never seems the sly fox -- but he also has a knack for crafting small, sparkling gems, such as the lightly swinging "Walking to Milwaukee" and "Crock of Gold." Both of these songs recall stylish '60s bachelor pad music and that's a strain that runs throughout Moustique, surfacing on the bossa nova "Mosquito" and "Blues and Trouble," but he also takes time to play a little bluebeat for "Keep On," and gets just a little earthy on "Shine a Light," which is enough to make this different than all his other records while remaining equally as enjoyable.

Gracias for all you do! Diggin' the Geraint!
Appreciate all you do! Any chance for Watkins Bold As Love?
Never mind on Watkins Bold As Love saw it in a previous comments. My bad! Keep up the great work.
Didn't think it was possible for The Sonics to match their classic sixties work, but they have done it their 2015 release. They give us a clinic on how to rock. Wow!
Thanks for Eddie K.
cheers,Tel
You could build a pretty cool Soul playlist called the Lady B's or the like with recent shares here from Bettye Swann, Bettye LaVette, Betty Everett, Betty Wright, Barbara Acklin, Barbara Lewis and Barbara Lynn. Just a little fun thought as I enjoy the Swann album - thanks Jillem
@Jillem, thanks for the point toward the cali blog. Some excellent ups on there; unfortunately, most of them are gone. If the owner of that blog is lurking, revive that stuff, won't you?
Thanks
