Pick of the Week: Digging on that Starter track hard! So silly, but so catchy!!! Below is some German Tele footage of Starter. I can't tell whether the female synth player is focusing intensely or if she is just completely disinterested in the performance. The lead singer makes up for it though. Incredible.

Pick of the Week:  Poor Girls!!! 
Quoting HK - 'fuck fuck, yeah!' One of my favorite records at KDVS. Very little information is available online about this band. Did find one blogpost though at the Vinyl Obscurity Blog. If you have any info on this band, post leave a comment. I am very interested in getting in contact with the original members...
