HIJACK THE RADIO – VINTAGE VINYL & STUDIO SESSIONS, VOLUME ONE
An anthology of mid to late 70s studio recordings, some of which ended up on theNervebreakers‘ late-70′s 7″ vinyl releases on Wild Child Records, some on the 1979 Texas punk LP compilation Are We Too Late For The Trend? (ESR Records), some on a volume of Italian label Rave Up Records series of American Lost Punk Rock Nuggets, and others that have up-to-now never been publicly released.
Includes the original (and best) hit recording of “My Girlfriend Is A Rock”, the title anthem “Hijack The Radio”, and punk classics like ”Why Am I So Flipped?”, “I Wanna Kill You”, and “I Love Your Neurosis”. Also included are proto-punk psych-y gems like “My Life Is Ruined” and “Beyond The Borderline”.
The CD release has four additional CD-only bonus cuts including an early (different from the We Want Everything LP) take on the Troggs‘ great “Strange Movies”, an original 1977 demo version of “Hijack The Radio”, and from 1975, a moody slice of Syd Barrett-like proto-punk-psych called “See Me Thru”.

Digital players killed the stop button. It does not exist anymore. A little history and a little eulogy.
Do you remember what was the difference between stop and pause? I do:
- In the Vinyl Era, stop meant telling the needle to lift up and go back in rest position. Pause button did not even exist: you could lift the needle manually and hold it there while the record kept spinning.
- In the Tape Era, the pause button was born. Stop would kill the whole engine, releasing the tape so that you could safely eject it. Pause allowed you for the first time to keep the tape locked for few seconds, pausing the reproduction. It was great for recording and illegally copying mixtapes: you could perfectly synch two tapes without losing precious starting seconds.
- In the CD Era, the pause button kept its importance, as the first CD players started the song all over again if stopped. When the technology updated and the player “remembered” the point where you left off, pause button started its decline. You could still save those couple seconds needed to start spinning the CD, but the advantage was offset by the need to save battery if you had a portable device, a “discman”.
- In the Streaming Era, stop and pause do exactly the same thing. The first mp3 players kept both buttons for the sake of familiarity, but the strive for mini-devices and the iPod revolutionary design decided that the stop button was a waste of space.
Why the stop button, one may ask? Why not the pause, which was clearly less used ? Why the old square had to go and not vice versa? The only answer I’ve found is that the enhanced speed of replay embedded in the “pause concept” was worth more to marketers than the centenary “stop” tradition. While CD players proceed toward extinction, the stop button will follow.
This is a symptom of something bigger that button space in a device. The concept of “stopping” the music is changing. The music never stops. Sound and noise are the standard. It’s always floating around the internet, you just have to grab it, pressing play in that cute embedded player.
Internet is making music unstoppable. That’s pretty powerful. Now decide if you like it.
