A slight case of underblogging - Best of the blog mix 2018

It's time once again for our annual rehash *ahem* taster of the creme de la creme of Wilfully Obscure's juiciest morsels from the year just departed.  Per the title, I say under-blogging in the respect that each year I seem to grow a tad more slack than the one prior in terms of the amount of audio victuals I lay out buffet-style on our coveted, on-the-house table.  Is what it is I suppose, as I'm in no hurry to exhaust my collection.  Revelations continue to abound on these pages, and 2018 brought to the fore some pretty phenomenal vintage wax from the likes of Three Leaning Men, The Woodies, The Lift, November Group and the Cuban Heels amidst approximately twenty others I've managed to shoehorn into one folder.

Given the disparate offerings here, more than a few song-to-song segues may not make for the most logical of transitions, though I've attempted to maintain a semblance of continuity, fractured as it amy sometime seem.  Roughly speaking, the first half houses some of the more aggressive selections, while the prettier and more jangly numbers have been corralled in the second.  Included are three previously unshared nuggets that until today you never knew you couldn't live without. 

01. Cuban Heels -  Liberty Hall
02. Private Domain - Burn the Torch
03. Wooden Igloo - Lost Weekend
04. Ten Ten - Giving In
05. Uncalled Four - Set Me Straight
06. The Woodies - Penelope Says
07. Mexican Pets - Stigmata Errata
08. The Red - Promises
09. November Group - Pictures of the Homeland
10. Stark Raving - Too Much to Take
11. Rank Strangers - Target
12. Rockphonics - Lock and Key
13. LMNOP - Like A Diatom*
14. Material Issue - Echo Beach (1986 vers.)
15. The McGuires - Russian Hill
16. Diesel Park West - All The Myths On Sunday (demo)
17. The Lift - Plush With Blonde
18. The Wishniaks - Marcy's Gone
19. The Colours - Somewhere in Between
20. Richard X. Heyman - Hoosier
21. Free Loan Investments - In the Park*
22. The Pterodactyls - Germs
23. Three Leaning Men - Facing
24. Stick Figures - September*

The Delfields - Ogres (2008)

Surprisingly, the internet doesn't have much to offer on The Delfields despite this album having only been in existence for ten years.  In terms of band-specific details, I can only inform you that these are five NJ cats who seem to have an affinity for Office Space, based on their depiction on the back of the cd case.  Luckily, their album is considerably more enticing.  Ogres is bejeweled in shimmering, lucid indie pop, tuned into the given intelligentsia of the time - Shins, early Rogue Wave and even Outrageous Cherry.  We're served nine concise slices here, and the Delfields don't piddle away a second on anything frivolous or contrived.  Be sure to indulge in the sprite "Fawn Fight" for maximum sustained tingle inducement. 01. A Slippery Slope 02. Honest 03. Francine 04. Short Sleeves 05. Ogres 06. Solvents and Vacuums 07. Our Beds 08. Fawn Fight 09. Highlands https://www22.zippyshare.com/v/Mzc3D5Z3/file.html
