Welfare Mothers Long Brown Hair 7" (Welfare Mothers)
Two cool grooves here: "Long Brown Hair" captures that 70s power pop sound back when it still rocked a bit and was devoid of sacless Beatle-booted future lawyers and garbage like The Knack. It's that semi-solid ground between Twinkeyz glam-punk and punkish rock like the Only Ones, though those names are bit to heavy to drop on these, uhhh, moms. "Bloodsucker" is a deceptive bastard. Posing as some meat & potatoes Cap't 9's puggishness, the guitars freak in that Modern Lovers' "I am a little too tightass to totally wig out but I'll give it my all" kinda freak, which, in this case, is fine & d. as it sounds like a real freak, not some peg in the hole pose. Cherry debut with punch production by Tim Kerr. —SS

It was very nice meeting you in Santorini. Couldn't have much time to enjoy common music. We'll catch up next time. We keep in touch. Lots of greetings to the familly. Alexandre.
Man, you boys forgot to give me a 7" this weekend. And I bet you also forgot to add to the liner notes: "Thanks to the LD for her hospitality during the recording of of this amazing record. Without her there wouldn't be any welfare mothers"
