To celebrate the physical release in SHOPS of the fantastic second single from HELP STAMP OUT LONELINESS, the february release from the FREE wiaiwya download singles club is the PACIFIC TRASH VORTEX remix ep... it's available on the downloads page... feel free to tell all your friends, feature on your blogs, you know... all that stuff...

the first is a dub take by wiaiwya's own DJ DOWNFALL, who has been keeping himself busy albumming a new album, mixing mixes for the PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART, the PIPETTES and 'ALLO, DARLIN', and of course guitarring for TENDER TRAP... nice...

the second mix comes from the enigmatic TALL WHITE GUY, a remix producer based in Manchester, UK. He "loves all music including Finnish Heavy Metal. Recently recovered from a near suicidal tendency towards Post-Punk, Death Disco and EBM, now getting major kicks from Twee Pop, Nuggets Psychedelia and Electro Disco. Looking for friendship, remixing and maybe more."

the 7" is available from rough trade, here:

WE'RE MAKING HISTORY WITH THE VERY FIRST RELEASE OF THE NEW DECADE*

the FREE January download release is the debut solo single by DAVID TATTERSALL (lead singer of the Wave Pictures)

"HAPPY FOR A WHILE" is the title track from his forthcoming album (due in april on wiaiwya), co-written and featuring Stanley Brinks (AKA Andre Herman Dune)

it's backed up with the WAVE PICTURES cover of the Springsteen classic "PONY BOY"

hope you like it, and if you were able to help promote it in any way it would be amazing...

*oh, and if anyone's worried that i'm a year premature with my decades - a decade is any ten years, and that can be from January 23, 1995 to January 22, 2005. The "10s," however, is that decade every century during which the numeral "1" appears next-to-last in the year number...

ta

the December release from the FREE wiaiwya monthly singles club is a 4 track ep of Christmas songs, natch, two covers and two originals

first up is HONG KONG IN THE 60S with their take on the Beach Boys WINTER SYMPHONY, all droney and broadcasty and morriconey and utterly lovely

then the LAST DINOSAUR go all melancholy for THE WORST CHRISTMAS WE EVER HAD, and acoustic departure from their epic debut long player "Hooray! for Happiness"

OH, ATOMS reinterpret Wham's LAST CHRISTMAS as a folky boy/ girl duet

and finally GREGORY WEBSTER gets out his trusty 12 string, and invites PAM BERRY round to re-record the classic, WINTER from his first solo record

excitingly, November's FREE download release is two new recordings from the original Thewintersleep... like a sucession of tiny heartbreaks surrounded by a moat of melancholia, strummed on a tiny guitar... perfect for Autumnal listening...

Released on Springsteen's 60th birthday, this is yet another installment in the ongoing wiaiwya tribute to the Boss

first up is TOWNBIKE with RADIO NOWHERE - power POP with more Power... and more POP for that matter... townbike could knock an s club party into a cocked hat

followed by THATFUCKINGTANK and BRUCE STONEHENGE - hard riffing DIY rockage from their latest longplayer Tankology (Gringo)

third is THE BLACK LODGE'S STATE TROOPER - a glam rock suicide take on the Nebraska classic

and ringing last orders is PAUL GUIDED MISSILE vs PAULL PLANET MAGNETIC - BORN SUPREMACY is a unique homage to both Born to Run and Born in the USA... SUPREME indeed
