The B-52’s, Bananarama, and the Bangles? It’s getting all 80s up in here. The Be Good Tanyas were another Noisetrade find, while Olivia’s obsession with “Pitch Perfect” introduced me to the Bellas. She gets credit for Avril Lavigne and Becky G, too. The Lizards’ collaboration with Karen Abrahams, recorded live at a festival, was a one-off I came across on iTunes. I wish they had more, this one was excellent.
