STUPENDOUS THANKS to Liverpool-by-way-of-Sheffield musician Rick Corcoran for generously sharing his demos, outtakes, and fair-haired musical stepchildren (& even creating artwork for many of 'em). On account of Rick's stunning psych-pop masterworks, Orgone Box really should be a household name for folks who read this blog. Now then, Rick: will you PLEASE get on with it and release your next proper album (The Lorne Park Tapes LP notwithstanding)? The fans are waiting, kind sir...

ROB SEZ: Fancy hearing a talent-packed band that plays catchy, Ramones-speed pop with a California garage rock feel? Well, here's your big chance. Hit that sample, my musical friend. Three guesses who turned me on to Warm Soda; first two don't count (hello Don & Anthony). Thank you kindly to Rocket Science Audio for recording & sharing the first set and to Jill M for the 2013 set.
