Wednesday, so far so good.

Managed to have the two posts. Only Friday left. I have an interview to do, write the questions, but I haven’t had the time. It is a band I really love. So I want to do it asap. But it is hard. Let’s see if I have some extra time soon.

Other than that today I finished mailing all Alfie orders. I hope more come my way!

I should have some good offers on the website this weekend. We need some space at home you know, so there should be 10 7″s boxes for cheap. It will be random 7″s. I did a similar offer a few years ago and people enjoyed it. And I should do a similar one with random Cloudberry Cake Kitchen releases. Probably 5 CDs in a package. What do you think? Just need space now with the baby.

One more time exploring the excellent “Everything But the Boys and the Girl” CDR compilation that Happy Extreme! put out in 2019. I’ve written so far two times about bands that appeared on it, The Boy’s Short Hair and Forest Stroll. This is the 3rd band and probably there will be more!

More because many of the band on this CDR, which is not for sale and came along a book titled “1986-1991”, are unknown to me. Just one song by these bands is not enough for me. I have a big pop appetite! Need to hear more about these great sounding bands!

Sadly there is no info about them. So I need all the help I can get. For Somerset Club Boy it is clear that the band is Japanese. The song they have, “素敵な日曜日 (Version)” is in Japanese. So I need my friends from the land of the rising sun to help me get more info about them.

From what I can gather the band named themselves after Somerset, a county in England.

Somerset is a rural county of rolling hills, the Blackdown Hills, Mendip Hills, Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park, and large flat expanses of land including the Somerset Levels. There is evidence of human occupation from Paleolithic times, and of subsequent settlement by the Celts, Romans and Anglo-Saxons. The county played a significant part in Alfred the Great’s rise to power, and later the English Civil War and the Monmouth Rebellion. The city of Bath is famous for its Georgian architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Also their British-love goes further. I believe the song is actually a version of a Jesus Couldn’t Drum original. Which song, I am not sure yet. I have a few records by the English band, but not all. And I am not very good at figuring these things out. But I think this is in the right path.

Anyhow, the song sounds great. So we wonder if the band recorded more songs, maybe songs of their own? Would be great to find out. Anyone that knows anything about them please leave a comment on the blog! And thanks again for reading and following this humble space!
