The Rialtos were a Puerto Rican doo-wop group from the Bronx formed in 1951. They were really popular locally but only made one record in 1961 for the Cb label. King Curtis and his group were the backup band and it was a perfect record. For some reason, it never got released but it was taken off the shelf by the label immediately after the Kennedy assassination and became a hit.
Wrong day, but I’m lazy now.
The debut Yard Act album is finally out. @Loveshaq spotlighted them in a DUAN last year.
Yard Act, “Quarantine the Sticks”
Yard Act, “The Overload”
I also dug out this old EP, which features an early Aughts IDM cover of The Smiths that I still love to this day.
Schneider TM, “The Light 3000”
More new Elvis Costello
My Most Beautiful Mistake
That is good stuff.
I’ve been reminded how much I like the Pixies via some algorithmic suggestions.
I have to post this. Everyone, this band is worth your money and your attention:
Nation of Language, “Gouge Away” (Pixies cover)
ooo…dont hear that kind of sound out of a current band much

Nation of Language is currently my go-to farm work music.

Sorry, I know I’m lame – but I accept that.

I made a typo. I meant to type that the Rialtos formed in 1959.
New Rumjacks tune…
