137 New Riders of the Purple Sage - The Adventures of...

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/04/08

Following the surprise success of their eponymous debut in 1971 the informal New Riders of the Purple Sage needed a couple FULL-time members to keep the party going - including a new pedal steel guitar player - a boutique role not easy to fill. Marmaduke had to go back in time to a quirky train tour across Canada he took part in a year earlier to find their man. Once the classic permanent NRPS lineup was set they continued to uncork records for Columbia including 1973's The Adventures of Panama

136 Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam - Spanish Fly (1987)

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/03/30

Creatively juiced by the wet-mulleted beefcakes of production team Full Force, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam continued to pump the coffers of the Freestyle genre they helped create with 1987's Spanish Fly - a solid urban dance album in a genre generally defined by singles.

135 Augustus Pablo & King Tubby - King Tubbys Meets...

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/03/24

The atmospheric, echo-laden martian world of Dub is the most 'reggae-sounding' varietal of all the reggaes - and it was created by a workaday radio wireman from Kingston. King Tubbys Meets the Rockers Uptown represents Dub at it's finest - quietly released during the global boom of reggae in 1976.

134 Francis Bebey - Trésor Magnétique (2025 comp)

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/03/18

In 1974 forty-five year old Cameroonian Renaissance Man Francis Bebey retired from a career as a journalist and musical director of UNESCO to focus more time on his family and the arts. He turned a spare room of his Parisian flat into a studio, bought a synthesizer, drum machine and four-track recorder - and began an early-retirement musical quest that would last thirty years. Trésor Magnétique is twenty tracks beautifully extracted from the wagonload of unused analog material Francis Bebey left

133 Robert Palmer - Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley...

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/03/11

Ten years before transforming into a suited-DILF headed for MTV rapture - Robert Palmer along with the coolest cast of session musicians ever - cranked out a spirited blue-eyed funk winner called Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley. An amazing piece of work and yet another gift of the collaborative spirit (aka Satan).

132 R.E.M. - Murmur (1983)

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/03/04

A galley pisser and a tighty-whitey wearer meet in a record store in Athens, Georgia and form R.E.M. They begin their thirty year gentle-rock quest with Murmur - a deep-track treasure considered a Rosetta Stone to all indie-rock that followed.

131 Alice In Chains - Dirt (1992)

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/02/25

Released during the height of the Grunge Hunx Dynasty - Dirt remains one of the coolest albums of the 1990s - an absolutely heroic effort by Jerry Cantrell. Dirt was Alice In Chains' brief view from the top before beginning the inevitable slalom down smack mountain.

130 L'Épée - Diabolique (2019)

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/02/18

A dispatch of wonderful garage sleaze from France made by a Boogie Chitz supergroup consisting of The Limiñanas, loose-of-mind Anton from Jonestown and Emmanuelle Seigner - the GILF wife of creepo director Roman Polanski.

129 Dick Hyman & Mary Mayo - Moon Gas (1963)

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/02/11

Even as the musical tide was shifting from the Golden Oldies Era to the Classic Rock one in 1963, the radio was still filled with snappy sing-alongs regardless of genre. You had to go to the jazz rack for exploratory action - and even in that world the gently-cosmic lounge swing of Moon Gas is one of a kind.

128 Gum Country - Somewhere (2020)

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/02/04

Somewhere is the only release by Gum Country - a side project of the guitarist from artisanal grunge band The Courtneys. Infectious 1990s shoegaze rockery for the present day slacker - it's hard to believe an album this catchy can be so obscure. A 'blind listening' treasure to the fullest.

127 Ash Ra Tempel - Starring Rosi (1973)

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/01/28

We enter the world of Kosmische Musik thru the psychedelic soundscapes of Manuel Göttsching's Ash Ra Temple. Starring Rosi was the fifth and final Ash Ra LP - and it's definitely the sonic outlier of the batch - the only one that comes close to a traditionally-tracked rock record. This of course is only noticeable once you've actually sampled the first four - which we will do.

126 The Bangles - All Over the Place (1984)

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/01/21

Given the MTV buzz and debutantal boom the Bangles experienced during the second half of their run, it's easy to forget their debut LP is a bonafide hitless alt-rock classic. All Over the Place reminds us that the Bangles were a really cool Paisley Underground band before the Egyptian pantomimes and Prince lil' purple penis pageantry.

125 The Grateful Dead - Sunshine Daydream: 8/27/72...

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/01/14

During summer 1972 - in between the end of a historic European run and a tour schedule that would have the band zipping around the country for the rest of the year, the Grateful Dead made a stop in Oregon to help their old friends Chuck and Sue Kesey save their small yogurt company from financial collapse. Great show choice Bana.

Boogie Chitz ·

2026/01/07

A young guitarist named Maximiliano Chavez experiences a flash of divinity when he discovers the Wah-Wah guitar pedal in mid-1960s Peru and assembles Los Orientales de Paramonga - one of the cornerstone bands of Peru's psychedelic Chicha scene. Fiesta en Oriente was the band's second album - and the only one they recorded for the understatedly-historic Infopesa Records.

123 Sugar - Copper Blue (1992)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/12/31

The most exhilarating rock album of the nineties came from the guitar and mouth of one of the most lovable heroes of the college rock eighties. Five years after the end of Hüsker Dü and without record label support, Bob Mould formed Sugar and found his melody on their debut album Copper Blue in 1992 - a ten-track treasure buried in plain sight amongst the chaotic Hair to Grunge Hunk transition of power.

122 Mohinder Kaur Bhamra - Punjabi Disco (1982)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/12/24

A hobbyist Sikh devotional singer and her three sons create the first ever Asian-infused electronic dance album in England at their kitchen table in the Punjabi-populated London suburb of Southall in 1982. The record sat in obscurity until this year when Naya Beat resurrected and reissued the magic for our consumption.

121 Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist (1985)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/12/17

A solid discog you could hold in one hand - Dead Kennedys managed to make some awesome rock and roll while simultaneously defying music industry promises and pee-pee tugs. We're gonna nip thru the whole DK catalog but go HARD on Frankenchrist - Dead Kennedys number three - where the San Francisco-ness of Jello and the gang shines thru a little more than their perky punk past.

120 Ibex Band - Stereo Instrumental Music (1976)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/12/10

The first music ever recorded in the multi-track format in Ethiopia came about from a Swedish national living in Addis Ababa who offered use of his four-track recorder to a group of Ethio-Jazz workhorses named Ibex Band. The Ibex boys welcomed the opportunity and set up shop in the empty ballroom of a hotel. For two days they made magic that would lay dormant for close to fifty years before a formal release this past April. What a gift.

119 Blue Öyster Cult - Agents of Fortune (1976)

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/12/03

If you've ever listened to or bought this album because of (Don't Fear) The Reaper - then you were in for a big surprise upon the initial neck-to-nut - All five members of the BÖC each sing lead on at least öne of the ten tracks of Agents of Fortune. Nine other nuggets that sound nothing like the Reap - or each other - but somehow flow with flawless cohesion. An awesome classic rock record that remains buried in plain sight. And we're also gonna try and answer a question that no one

Boogie Chitz ·

2025/11/26

After a decade of missionary work in Singapore, Sister Irene O'Connor returns home to Australia and unleashes her one true miracle - a 12-song lo-fi/high-spirit psyche-pop classic called Fire of God's Love.
