Husker Du - Flip Your Wig (1985)

Walking around with your head in the clouds...makes no sense at all Long time no post! It's still 4/20 and it's national Record Store Day. I did not buy any records, I was working all day. But...

Spizz - Where’s Captain Kirk

Spizz? Spizzenergi? Spizzoil? Atheltico Spizz!? I just call them Spizz...but they were known by many different names. Spizz went though several name changes through their punk/new wave existence....

SOTD: Clan Of Xymox - No Words

This song is the tits. Have you ever experienced a desperate, unrelenting love in your youthful stupidity? At the time, the rejection was the most excruciating pain you had ever thought imaginable....

Best of Koala Mode Playlist

I'm going to try and throw these in once a month. For my first playlist I decided to make a best of Koala Mode which includes songs from majority of the albums I posted here. :)

Zumpano - Goin' Through Changes (1996)

This is the quintessential feel good Indie pop album. Very fresh, catchy, reminds me of that first glimpse into a spring day. I didn't think I'd care for this album but I came across it recently...

Happy Thanksgiving!

INXS - The One Thing (Remastered Audio) - The funniest videos are a click awayI hope your family dinners are just as enticing as this video ;)

Greetings and SOTD: Judy Bats - She Lives (In a Time of her own)

I am here to formally announce my initiation into club Koala! J-Koala and I have a strong bond over an (un)eclectic cloister of new wave/post punk/and Brit-pop that never, ever gets old. EVER. In...

Song of the day!

I love it! One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Saw these guys last summer with Squeeze. Was so much fun. Such a awesome video

Gang of Four - Songs of the Free (1982)

Mr. Partridge - Take Away/The Lure of Salvage (1980)

Jayne Mansfield...is that you? What is my favorite thing to do on my day off? On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon? Catch up on my music listening and blast this stuff so loud the whole neighborhood can...

One of my favorite songs

The Human League - Dare (1981)

You know I am no stranger, I know rules are a bore...but just to keep you from danger, I am the law One of the pinnacle synth groups from the 80s, The Human League were one of the biggest new wave...

The The - Burning Blue Soul (1981)

I'm trying to tell something to the world...but my words are slurred & slow Not the first The The album I heard. In fact Soul Mining was my first intro to The The followed by Infected...then I...

Split Enz - True Colours (1980)

Some Kiwi Rock for you! Kiwi New Wave ;) I remember seeing this album art growing up and thinking it was the coolest thing! Very unique, like XTC's Drums & Wires. Everytime I hear "I Got You" I...

Song of the Last few Weeks (Japanese New Wave - Jun Togawa)

XTC - English Settlement (1982)

Seems the more I travel, from the foam to gravel One of my favorite bands of all time. Short time follower (circa 2006), long time listener... I remember my dad had Drums & Wires on vinyl and being...

Red House Painters - Rollercoaster (1993)

...without you what does my life amount to? One of the saddest albums I've had the pleasure of listening to. Red House Painters second album is full of so much sorrow. "Katy's Song" sends chills...

Song of the past few days...

Nik Kershaw - Wouldn't It Be Good Nik Kershaw : Wouldn't it be good (1984) by tartenpion333 I'm telling you...I was born in the wrong decade.

Teardrop Explodes - Kilimanjaro (1980)

Live in solitude like Howard Hughes... Brace yourself for horns galore. They were very big in the eighties, did you not know? As corny as they can be I have no issue with them being on this album....

Song of the day

I was feeling very down in the dumps, lost, confused, irritated...fatigued. But this has made all that go away :)

Juliana Hatfield - Become What You Are (1993)

Shes such a sucker...he dont wanna fuck her.I love Juliana Hatfield. I think shes so cool. This is such a fun, nostalgic album for me. I remember hearing "My Sister" for the first time. I love her...

Mission of Burma - VS. (1982)

One of my favorite Post-punk bands ever, Mission of Burma has paved the way for so many alternative rock acts from the 80s thru present day. Theyre influence is so huge, and I feel after you listen...
