  1. 42 years ago today, June 23, 1984, Kimberly Springs debuted at #75 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Slow Dancin’”. It went on to peak at #49 and spent a total of 10 weeks on the chart.

    They played this song a lot on KYAK, so often that I thought it was a bigger hit. It’s one of my all-time favorites!

  6. Okay, I bought this tape for $4.44 (see price advertised on the J-Card) at the Modesto, California location of Record Factory (the long-gone and sorely-missed Northern California record store chain), some time in summer 1984. Knowing nothing about the band, I was captivated by the punky graphics and bad-boy band photo, with those serious scowls. Child Support: suitably edgy band name, from the decidedly unpunk suburb of Fair Oaks.

    Music-wise it's kinda punk-infused 1983 rock with occasional fast bits and some slick, commercial impulses that probably won out in the end. I'd compare them to NYC's Kraut, in that they were rockers at heart, punkers by circumstance. At the time I was fixated on X, Black Flag, Germs - and this tape sat uncomfortably alongside theirs.

    By sheer unknowing luck I managed to find the best song on SoundCloud this week (posted by one of the guys in the picture), and gave it a listen for the first time in, er - 42 years? #1980s #DemoTapes #Obscure #Punk #Tapes

  11. Dear Achiever Friends,

    What have you #achieved today?
    Here on Mastodon reading this. So already ahead of the crowded. Also:

    1) Seen any shadows? #Reflections? Mirroring?
    2) Eaten? I had (shredded) wheat and raisins and roasted - or toasted wheat with added topping. #Olive oil and such.
    3) Followed any #obscure leads? Me? plenty! All more bizarre than the rest...
    4) Listened to music and sang along? Yep?

    :nonazis: :google_emoji_kitchen_skull_and_tulip_mashup: :agummyhug:
