Hmm... AFAIK not a single jangle toon was played at Woodstock. It was cool that somebody in NYC (maybe a student at Columbia) had the inspiration to invite Sha Na Na. But no jangle. Jangle had gone into hibernation. Hendrix infamously declared "And you'll never hear jangle music again". I made that up.

And then came Johnny Marr with his "anti Rockism" ethos. I've seen a clip of Steve Vai saying it took him weeks to figure out this riff.

Thanks for all the posts. I'll catch up on the ones I haven't heard yet later tonight.

This one just came in today

Tommy Keene
Isolation Party
Matador Records

here's a cut from it

great song

Yes it is. Maybe a bit too "frantic" for a pop song but a killer tune nonetheless. Looks like they have got back together and put out a new record. I love their old stuff.

Here is some of their new stuff, sounds good

So good I ordered the record

I don't have much patience for bands out of their eras. I focus on contemporaneous (whew) performances. Seeing "old folks" trying to recreate the past is boring at best and pathetic at worst, and most of the time the case is the latter.

You didn't last long on Indie. Not that we miss you.

Anyone know Plagal Grind? New Zealand supergroup

The Smithereens were still filling clubs and playing great music up until lately when front man Pat DiNizio died. I saw them twice over the last 5 years.

These guys got a lot of airplay on college stations on the east coast

Wow - totally forgot about The Smithereens - good catch! I'm starting to notice something about Jangle. It seems to be spectrally immune to recording quality and distortion. It seems to cut right through all the goo. Maybe cuz it originated back on AM radio.
