Single of the week is great baggy song ''Friction'' from early 90's Manchester band Asia Fields.
On 7th April they released long awaited album called ''Goodbye Frank'', a collection of band's first two singles plus a lot of unreleased recordings. Album is released for Firestation Records, one of greatest German labels at the moment, on limited edition CD & LP.
After 25 years, Thousand Yard Stare recorded new material, a double EP called ''Deepdreaming EP / Stargazing EP'' that will be released on one CD on 1st May 2017. First video from this new EP is great track called ''Epecuen''.
Great news, very long time i was looking for unreleased The Cygnet Ring album ''Hopeful Monsters'' and finally this week i received amazing quality rip of this album released only on cassette and sent to radio stations or newspapers for reviews. Unfortunately, band was dropped from their label and album was never officially released, i'm very happy that i'm one of few people who have copy of this fantastic album.
The Charlatans released ''Plastic Machinery'', first single taken from their new album ''Different Days'', featuring Johnny Marr on guitar.

Starting from this week, new section on the blog called MadTube - selection of old & new music videos from the bands i'm listening last 30 years.
Last 7 days there were three huge announcements: new The Charlatans album called ''Different Days'' will be released on May 26th, new Ride album ''Weather Diaries'' will be released on June 16th and finally new Slowdive self-titled album will be released on May 5th.
I'm very excited about new albums from Ride & Slowdive, new songs i've heard from both bands are amazing and definitely will be on my TOP 10 list of best albums for 2017.
Notes:
Great debut single from The Kustom Built, a Newcastle/Sunderland based band, championed by Steve Lamacq and playlisted on Radio 1.
They released one more single ''Poor Cow'' in 2002 for Manchester label Boony Tunes, label set up by Clint Boon from Inspiral Carpets.
