Buried Mini Classics 20 Sparklehorse - Little Fat Baby Buried at Track 10 - it’s a winner on an album stuffed with winners. youtu.be/FhYNerrrOYY?...

Buried Mini Classics 19 Calexico + Iron And Wine - Dead Mans Will Final Track on their collab from about 20 years ago. I thought it was the best song on there but clearly the label didn’t agree and buried it . youtu.be/rbY1Vau_yt0?...

Buried Mini Classics 18 Idlewid - Quiet Crown Well and truly buried at track 11 on 100 Broken Windows is this little gem . Very rarely played live and seemingly discarded until this version popped up youtu.be/vbJlCImBSa4?...

Buried Mini Classics 17 Mojave 3 - Ghostship Waiting Power pop gem buried towards the back end of Puzzles Like You album. Slowdive it is not ! youtu.be/n8sZ0qBFJdA?...

Buried Mini Classics 16 Lift to Experience - When We Shall Touch They only released one very , very, long album back in 2001- this was track 8 . Was it post rock , shoegaze or a Texas bible bashing version of Elbow ? Who knows ? youtu.be/sthmEkUjACM?...

Buried Mini Classics 15 The Undertones - It’s Gonna Happen While this was buried at Track 9 on their 3rd album it was also released as a single and it got a video so I’m not sure this actually counts as buried ? Great tune tho . youtu.be/aQtaqgW6MXg?...

Buried Mini Classics 14 Bearsuit - Prove Katie Wrongg Buried at Track 8 on Cat Spectacular is this 3 minute gem. Anything with a chorus that sounds like “ Ooo Chihuahua “ is a winner in my book ! youtu.be/3iLUENUmzJ4?...

Buried Mini Classics 13 Black Box Recorder - Goodnight Kiss Tucked away at the end of their first album is this gorgeous ode to nightlife in declining English coastal towns. A real gem buried at the back end of an admittedly great debut record . youtu.be/8YMYC0pS4Ws?...

Buried Mini Classics 12 Eels - P.S. You Rock My World Truly buried at track 16 on Eels 2nd album it’s a glimmer of hope at the end of a beautifully bleak record. Not a commercial success , maybe sticking 3 jaw droppingly fantastic songs at 14-15-16 didn’t help youtu.be/BDuBMUOGwmE?...

Buried Mini Classics 11 The Aislers Set - Langour in the Balcony. Neatly tucked away at track 3 on their 3rd album is this superb 2 minute pop song. Google tells me I saw them at the Hammerstein Ballroom NYC in 2002 - it really doesn’t feel like that long ago. youtu.be/wAKmvugt000?...

Buried Mini Classics 10 The Notwist - Gloomy Planets Tucked away on their 6th album this mini classic is a great example of how to build a song to a satisfying ending almost effortlessly. One of the best live music videos on the internet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2qK...

Buried Mini Classics 9 Sufjan Stevens - The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is out to get us This is buried at track 15 on Come on feel the Illinoise and it’s more of a classic than a mini classic. Certainly the best song about a wasp that I’ve come across www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBse...

Buried Mini Classics 8 My Bloody Valentine - Thorn Technically a classic rather than a mini classic, but who else but MBV would bury so many jaw dropping songs on the B Sides of 12 inch EPs ? They didn’t just do it once either , they did it every time. youtu.be/20EAoMsIM20?...

Buried Mini Classics 7 Siouxsie and the Banshees- Icon An absolute gem tucked away at Track 4 on their second album. Saw them live when I was 16 and after the gig she let me sit on her knee while she signed my record sleeves . 😳❤️ youtu.be/9LOdYHxvdI0?...

Buried Mini Classics 6 Broadcast - Until Then Buried away as Track 10 on their debut album was this - sounding like something from a 1970s horror movie. The band would routinely litter Side 2 of their albums with mini classics . youtu.be/ppdCzJ9JECQ?...

Buried Mini Classics Pavement - Here To be fair not the only mini classic on Side 2 of this album. Track 9 seems to be a good slot - though Twin States was Track 10 and that’s also a topper . youtu.be/bKipkWC90eU?...

Buried Mini Classics 4 The Auteurs - Idiot Brother Truly buried at Track 10 on an album I sold for daft money to help fund the label. Wish I hadn’t now. Fully aware this is further evidence that I am the “ idiot brother “ in my family. But you all knew that. youtu.be/wLF5EZF--Dw?...

Buried Mini Classics 3 Aimee Mann - I’ve Had It Very much buried this one - track 12 on a 14 song album . How anyone could bury anything this good over 45 minutes into an album I do not know. A cautionary tale about being on a major label - it’s just wonderful. youtu.be/lekB4EjrFDE?...

Buried Mini Classics 2 Saloon - The Good Life This gem was buried on Side 2 of their second album - everything on their first album is also a mini classic tbf. I was devastated when Saloon split up . 2 great albums and a couple of singles then gone forever. youtu.be/TEdGcQFrPjU?...

Buried Mini Classics 1 - Pale Saints - Time Thief Track 11 on debut album given the task of following the single Sight of You. Fooled people into thinking it was filler. Chris Cooper was on a mission with the drumming here , it’s magnificent. As is the song. youtu.be/el0gPR6uWU4?...

Bandcamp Fees Free Day - some stuff on our Merch page for 24 hours, reduced price albums and at least one copy of everything we ever released - first come first served.

Bandcamp Fridays are a great way to support DIY record labels - we have the new Massage album available on Pre Order , a limited UK pressing of only 150 copies on powder blue vinyl prefectrecords.bandcamp.com/album/coaster

I have nothing bad to say about this album - it’s pretty much perfect in every way. youtu.be/HkdLtb6Rg-I?...

Really looking forward to this - might even see sunshine for the first time in 2025 !!

Off to Madrid in March with @mtmiseryband.bsky.social @chimeschool.bsky.social and The Cords. Hopefully we get nice weather 🤞

Didn’t make an End of Year list or a compilation for 2024. It was a generally bad year on a personal level. Was there anything better than this placed on the Internet last year though ? youtu.be/0h-vscNaVFw?...

I have a gut feel the record being pressed in Boro was a big reason it got to 1 . Wise man nevertheless.

All the essentials in one photo 😂

Super chuffed to have 2 albums in Joes Top 20 including his Number 1 courtesy of the Mt. Misery album . Given the sheer volume of records he listens to we are truly honoured
