I'm now going to have to dodge a shift that accounts for half my week's hours (They knew I needed time off but still rostered me on >.>) but I think it'll be worth it :)

I reviewed their 'Blow Your Cool' album a few months back on my Bucky's Attic Thread (I dig into my vinyl & randomly pick out a few & write short reviews):

The Hoodoo Gurus – ‘Blow Your Cool’
Label: Elektra Records
Year: 1987
Review by Bucky

By 1987 my record collection was up over 2000 & my tastes in music had expanded. I bought this album because I liked the band name. I never heard them or heard of them but for a while I was listening to this record on a regular basis, bringing it to parties, & then eventually it got lost in my record collection. As soon as the needle hit the groove I remembered how much I liked the album & during that time frame, besides the Metal & Hard Rock that was going on, I was also listening to this record, REM’s ‘Dead Letter Office’, The Smithereens ‘Green Thoughts’, & The Godfathers ‘Birth School Work Death’ albums. Songs like “What’s My Scene”, “Hell For Leather”, ”Out That Door”, “In the Middle of the Land”, & “Party Machine” will bring back your partying days in college with their Alternative/Power Pop style. Even though just about every track is great there is one song in my opinion that is a cut above the rest & that is “Where Nowhere is” which is a great blend of the MC5 meets the Romantics. This is a Party record album

Settled down at last and very happy.
