I managed to post three times a week with no issues. That’s good. I think I may be able to start reviewing new music. At least I think I can this Monday. So hopefully I’ll find some good discoveries. I don’t have any plans for new 7″s right now, The band I wanted to release a 7″ and who I talked and exchanged a few demos, well, they seem to have signed to a bigger indiepop label to Cloudberry. So I suppose that’s it. I should be on the lookout for the next 7″ release…. as well as for the next Cloudberry Cake Kitchen. No plans for anything yet! Seems strange!

I should be adding new offers on the website this weekend. Have a look if anything interests you. I need space at home so any help in finding a new home for some ace records would be appreciated.

Other than that, I sent interview questions to a band I love, and I am in touch with yet another band for another interview. And I want to thank again everyone that got the Alfie compilation. I saw Jigsaw Records has it on their page right now and describes them this way:
lovingly-assembled reissue from an ultra-obscure late ’80s/early ’90s band from a small island off the Swedish coast who mostly played jangly pop in a style similar to Hurrah, Friends Again and the Jazz Butcher

Many years ago I wrote about Hopkirk & Lee. The band stills remains a mystery to me. I only know of the persons who was behind the label that released the record, but other than that, no information about the band. One of the mysteries that shroud the band is who were the members, who played the music.

While I was doing that research then I stumbled upon someone saying that the same vocalist that was in Hopkirk & Lee was in Bitter Herb. He pointed to a myspace link that of course doesn’t work anymore. The Finest Kiss blog was very certain that this connection was 100% true.

That same blog, on a 2008 post says that there was a rumour of them signing to a label and then the label going under. Also that they signed a deal with Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai to make a single EP and then go to hell. But that was it really. The Myspace page for this band doesn’t exist anymore.

We know of the existence of four songs of them, “Dancing Eyes”, “The British American Dream”, “The Legions of Romulus” and “Turning Like a Leaf”.

Sadly I don’t know anything by the band and there’s nothing online about them. So even if they want to keep Hopkirk & Lee a mystery, can we get some info about Bitter Herb? Also, if anyone has the other three songs they recorded, I’d love to hear them. Thanks!
