On the show this week: American indie, from psych echoing (The Smashing Times) to lush (The Garment District), fuzzed-out pop (Blues Lawyer, Blue Ocean) and spiky art-punk (Patio). Start-stop rock from Dublin, jazzy folk-pop from London (The Clientele) and Aussie jangle from Melbourne (Soft Covers, The Small Intestines). Plus reissues of German punk, a lost NZ post-punk single, and the surprising return of a post-C86 UK band.
