SummersRadio™ New Music! The Primitives - 'You Trashed My Christmas'
The Primitives have released a new original song - a Christmas song - and it's awesome! Now that's high praise considering I find 99% of Christmas music to be a form of torture.
'You Trashed My Christmas' is one of sixteen songs on a new festive compilation called 'A Christmas Gift For You From Elefant Records' that also includes artists such as The School, BMX Bandits, The Yearning and The Magic Theatre.
Elefant Records is a Spanish indie label founded in 1989 by Luis Calvo - and the compilation is available now on itunes. It's also available on cd and limited white vinyl here: http://elefant.com/
Some naughty person has gone and trashed the always lovely Tracy Tracy's decorations and broken her heart - but this is no weepy ballad - 'You Trashed My Christmas' rocks and Tracy sounds stronger than ever... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classics + Rare Remix! The Primitives - 'Spacehead'/ 'Way Behind Me'/ 'You Are The Way' (Re-Ravishing Mix)/ 'Rattle My Cage'
After posting the new Belle & Sebastian cover of The Primitives 'Crash' (and subsequently the original version as well) yesterday I've been craving more of The Primitives ever since - so I thought I'd post some more of their finest tracks!
The band formed in Coventry England in 1985 and released three album's before breaking up in 1992. They were one of the great indie pop/ rock bands of the late 80's/ early 90's - and one of my favorite female fronted bands from that period - along with The Darling Buds and Voice Of The Beehive. After 17 years apart they reformed in 2009 for a series of live gigs and they released a new EP in 2011.
I'll feature one track from each of their three studio albums and one from their most recent EP. Although not released as a single this is a standout track from their debut album 'Lovely' which was released in 1988 - as it features some fine fuzzy guitars and the always lovely vocals of Tracy Cattell aka Tracy Tracy - this is 'Spacehead'... Enjoy!
'Way Behind Me' was the first single released from their second album 'Pure'... Enjoy!
'You Are The Way' was the first single released from their third album - 1991's 'Galore' - and was the only single to chart in the U.K. and sadly the band decided to call it quits in '92. This is a rare remix that was recorded in 1991 but never released due to a sample clearance issue - and it's only just surfaced on the world wide web for the first time this month!
This is the 'Re-Ravishing Mix' of 'You Are The Way'... Enjoy!
As mentioned The Primitives reformed in 2009 and released their first new recording in two decades last year with their 'Never Kill A Secret' EP. You can keep up with the band's latest news on their official Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Primitives-Official/114265251970129 and on their website here: http://the-primitives.co.uk/
This is the lead track from the 'Never Kill A Secret' EP called 'Rattle My Cage' - with the band sounding (and looking) as good as ever... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Belle & Sebastian - 'Crash'/ The Primitives - 'Crash'
Glasgow's Belle & Sebastian have recorded a new song - a cover of The Primitives indie rock classic 'Crash'! 'Crash' is Belle & Sebestian's exclusive new contribution to the latest installment of the 'Late Night Tales' compilation series - that aims to create the ultimate 'late night' selections. The band are curating the 27th volume - they also compiled the 14th volume which came out in early 2006 - and they're only the second artist (along with Groove Armada) to have been asked to make a second volume so far.
Belle & Sebastian's 'Late Night Tales Vol. 2' is set for release on March 26th and will feature a total of 25 tracks from a typically diverse range of artists such as Gold Panda, Broadcast, The Lovin' Spoonful, Toro Y Moi, and Pete Shelley. It's available for pre-order now from the official Late Night Tales website here: http://latenighttales.co.uk/product.php/166/belle-and-sebastian-vol-2-late-night-tales/8f18b88374cf6dc8f781795e96916ff0
This is Belle and Sebastian's new cover of 'Crash' - it's such a good song that it holds it's own and translates well in this chilled loungy take on it... Enjoy!
Classic Bonus Track! The Primitives - 'Crash'
