So the Proper Way to Play

Pillow humping is the actual procedure of getting off erotically utilizing a pillow or cushion for pleasuring. Pillow humping may be done in various methods and with unique approaches. Pillow humping is primarily done by women instead of males. Research projects have revealed that the manner in which a guy humps a pillow is usually trimming a opening into it, applying lube to the opening, and then pushing his shaft inside and humping the actual pillow. The crazy part about all of it is that they realize it happens and they don't want it to stop. I mean would you want to stop doing it if it felt so good? I didn't think so. Now, when you pillow hump you need to realize something, that something is that you need to be doing it the right way, or shall we say, not pay to play. Even though men are documented to masturbate using their hands more than girls, females are believed to partake in humping of their pillow way more then guys.

When surveyed, almost all young ladies who've reported having a need to arrive at orgasm by stimulating their bodies using pillows, reported engaging in it because it's the quickest and most enjoyable option for them to achieve orgasm. Women's reproductive difficulties are many. An overwhelming high number of them claim not ever being able to reach orgasm from love-making, but only rather through alternative specific techniques. Because of this, countless girls have taken complete charge of their sexual lifestyles, rather than counting on men. When you decide you've had enough and click here that's when your whole life and your crazy perspective on things changes. Girls report frequently being on the prowl for different methods of self pleasuring, most of their findings are encountered by accident. Good examples include things like, exercise equipment that, when utilized, arouse and stimulate the vaginal section. The behavior of getting yourself off by means of masturbation is known as self lovemaking. When the females who favor pillows over other means of masturbation were questioned just why that is, they replied that using a pillow brings the greatest extraordinary, warm, stormy, entire-body, leg shaking, and intimately satisfying orgasm possible. Some girls even said they couldn't attain climax by other ways of masturbation, for example their own fingers or toys.

Masturbation for girls generally starts at a very youthful age, goes on at the same pace straight into puberty, and almost always goes up in amount of time and volume as a woman ages. As a juvenile girl, a female finds out either by fluke, or by experimenting, that pressure placed on her clitoris is exhilarating and feels nice. Because nearly all first times of genital masturbation for women happens when they are on their beds, most females become imaginative with masturbation techniques also, as they are in bed. Humping pillow is not just a sport to some people, it's actually a life style. One that they can't live without, strange as that sounds, and trust us, we know it sounds strange. When women find out that the pillow they sleep on provides such overwhelming excitement and emotions when placed between their legs and rubbed. They nearly always never return back to other methods of self pleasuring. In addition to bedrooms, being in sleeping bags, and sleeping at hotels, are locations women have noted to have masturbated with a pillow for the first time. Right after a girl discovers the sexual pleasure obtained from massaging her vagina forward and backward on her pillow, the woman will continue to do so out of fascination of what may occur. And to gauge how high her arousal stage can reach. After achieving a high pleasurable stage, several females have said they had to coerce themselves to end humping their pillow. Still, others have reported they kept proceeding until they reached ejaculation. The females that push through the emotion and allow themselves to go through the action completely, often report getting to orgasm.

Richard Mazda's first ventures into recorded music were with his band The Tours. The Tours never really had much chart success, but their two great single releases in 1979 were trendsetters of the mod-revival that followed in the early 80s. In 1981 Richard formed his next band Cosmetics. Released two singles, Guilt is an underrated melodic punk powerpop number. Their second effort The Crack was a minor club hit, new musical directions when the times are changing. Later, IRS’s capo Miles Copeland made Richard Mazda an offer to be a producer. He made a name for himself producing records for Wall Of Voodoo, The Fleshtones, Suburban Lawns, The Fall, The Birthday Party, Tom Robinson, Alternative TV…

Cosmetics - Guilt [7" Virgin Records 1980]

One of the reasons punk rock took root so strongly in the late '70s, despite the fact you couldn't hear it on the radio and had to go out of your way to see it onstage, was that there were so many kids waiting for something to happen. There was so many punk bands to see, some of them such obscure like Corridor One. Five lads from Stockport, UK. Visceral power and angry-young-men.

Corridor One - Working On The Papers [7" Hip Records 198?]




From Dearborn- Michigan, The White Lines was a quartet combo featuring Joe Kidd, recorded this single on Automotive Records (Roseville, Michigan).

Recorded in mono and produced by Milk N’ Cookies leader Ian North in 1975, this Legendary Knickers lonely disc is a fresh primitive 60’s garage-pop, that supposedly was the band's demo tape.

The mid 80's saw a renaissance of guitar music, which echoed throughout the world. Bands such as Rain Parade, Green On Red in the U.S.A. to The Hoodoo Gurus, and Scientist in Australia plus many more from all points in between. Sweden is one of this places where guitar pop music have been always top of the class.
Cod Lovers formed in late ‘88 in Norrköping, a seaport city of Sweden. After a few explosive gigs they soon gained the interest of their friend Ola Hermanson and his record label Ceilidh Productions. The single Best Friend was released, media coverage was soaring and the band played the Hultsfred festival in 1990. Two albums and the last single Kill The Time in 1991. Six years after their glorious beginnings at Yule-tide, they gallantly disbanded, after a final awesome show at a Christmas party.

Cod Lovers - Kill The Time [7" Celidh Productions 1991]

One of the great lost pop singles of the decade. One of the great lost band of the decade. The Chairs are a group to rediscover for all pop guitar aficionados. Formed in 1986 from the nucleus of Essex psychedelic feedback farmers The Gene Tryp, The Chairs began as a three piece before engaging the services of roadie Dave Read, whose organ stylings soon became central to the band's sound. They released a string of independently produced singles between 1987 and 1990, difficult to tell which was best. Factor in a Radio One session, Single Of The Week in the NME, and lavish praise from the likes of Steve Lamacq and Elvis Costello.
Paul Sullivan (singer, guitarist, composer) following making pop gems under the moniker The Liberty Takers. (Beatfor30).

The Leatherwoods were a loose duo comprised of Kansas-to-Minneapolis transplants Todd Newman and Tim O'Reagan, with assistance from utility man "Pablo Louseorama" (aka Paul Westerberg, who co-wrote songs while contributing guitar, bass and keyboards).
Minneapolitan Todd Newman has made records for a variety of labels including Medium Cool, the Bus Stop Label, and Barber's Itch, sometimes using the Leatherwoods moniker, sometimes not, playing with such bands as Lions and Dog, The Swingin' Dicks, Rocky and the Bluelighters, Curtiss A, The Hayley Mills Brothers, The Beatifics, Grant Hart, Lori Wray, and The Hang Ups.
O'Reagan went on to play drums with Joe Henry and the Jayhawks, and piecing together a solo album.

Great mod-punk single that is not very well known, with amazing fast primitive mod songs. Three English piece band, like The Jam, but more garage sixties influences. Any info beatfortwo readers-listeners is welcome.
The Starlings - Plastic Cards [7" Ruffin Records 197?]


The Last first single echoing the exciting reverberated sounds of the classic real punk bands of the 60's: The Standells, Shadows of Knight, Electric Prunes, etc. Not particularly a 'big bucks' production (they did it themselves), sounding as if it could have come out of any garage in 1966 with its cheesy organ, slightly off-base guitars and crude vocals. A punkadelic classic with shaded of the Lollipop Shoppe, Love and the Strawberry Alarm Clock.


The Last - She Don't Know Why I'm Here [7" Bomp Records 1978]



Kiderian Records was out of Chicago. The label was launched somewhere in the mid 60s and released some authentic garage 45s. The Boyz were the Oak Park band on Kiderian Records, contemporaries/friends of Pezband. This band dates back to the mid 60s, with two releases on Destination and an earlier issue of this beatlesque Laughs On Me on I.R.C. Genuine pre-cursor to punk-power pop. They were supposedly born out of The Phaetons and from The Boyz went on to Grim Reaper, Fuse and eventually Cheap Trick. Pretty good disc. These guys had more tracks available on the label-sampler Goodbye Dolores – A Kiderian Records Sampler. The comp is none too spectacular, some nice enough 70s pop, but the two songs from the Boyz 45 are the only stand-outs.

The Boyz - Laughs On Me [7" Kiderian Records 1975]

Digging up some records on holidays, so today we have an eclectic singles session.
A favourite vintage punk rock and roll radio stations intro, back in 1979. From California, The Beans released two singles for Lima Bean Records, the first one let it in, but this Surf’s Up is an stormy punk surf instro with spicy girls inviting to dance it on the beach.

The Beans - Surf's Up [7' Lima Bean Records 1979]



Go Feet label did not have the same level of fame as the 2 Tone Records, but was an important sister label to the 2 Tone genre. The Beat's first release was on 2 Tone Records, but when Madness struck a deal with Stiff Records, The Beat left to form their own label.
The three original members of the Mood Elevators (David Ditchfield, Noel Green, and Jenny Jones) met after literally being thrown together following a street fight. A group initially named Inside Out was soon formed from the three. Once ready to gig in early 1980, the band began to book spots at pubs around Birmingham. Impressed by the performance they witnessed, The Beat offered them an opportunity to record a single on the Go Feet label along with the supporting spot on a UK tour.
Only two 7-inch singles were released by the band. Their first, Annapurna, was a big hit on the indie scene.

The Mood Elevators - Annapurna [7' Go Feet 1981]


The Piranhas were formed in 1977, and were originally part of the Brighton punk scene, achieved their biggest success (classic one-hit wonder) with their cover version of the South African kwela song "Tom Hark", an instrumental hit in 1958 for Elias & His Zig Zag Jive Flutes. With new lyrics written by the band's frontman "Boring" Bob Grover under the Stock-Aitkin-Waterman partnership, it was a Top 10 hit in 1980. It was the first song to feature on BBC Television's pop music programme, Top of the Pops.
Jilly was included in their first single, an infectious punky singalong.

The Piranhas - Jilly [7' Attix 1978]


The Rivvits were a West London-based punk band formed by vocalist and guitarist, Chris Burne. They played all the influential punk/new wave clubs and pubs in and around London, such as, The Marquee, The Roxy, The Vortex, alongside (then) fledgling punk bands such as, XTC, The Lurkers, Subway Sect, The Slits, Jilted John, The Buzzcocks, among others.
The band signed to Alien Records in 1977, run by their new manager, Nigel Lucas, jointly with Chris Burne and Martin Godfrey as artistic directors.

Alien Records continued to bring out singles into early 1980, using personnel formed from the Rivvits under various band names; The Beaks and, Nathaniel Halcrow & The Mastodons written by Burne, which is a classic organ/bass riff pop song with a very catchy chorus. It's about liberty versus the dangers of extremist politics, both right and left!

Some really ace stuff for you today.
Bill Kern was a passionate musician, and a gifted songwriter. He began writing songs at 13 years old, and continued writing throughout his entire life. His Beatles collection was legendary. He had the most complete collection of Apple records in the world.
He was a master songwriter, and this are one of his best songs from the New Wave era, you can imagine the sound.
Bill was one of the founders of Beat Bad Records, and along with Barry Knoedl, the driving force behind the Badbeats, a partnership formed for lasted 32 years, until Bill's death in 2005.
This record was released as a double 'A' side. In order to reinforce the idea that it was a double 'A' side, they put both songs on the 'A' side. The other side of the record is blank. Then people would still assume that the first song was the intended 'A', so they made two versions with each song leading off, using distinctly different mixes on each from the same takes. Each version comes with a different color picture sleeve. You're Not Coming Home is Red, Don't Listen To Them is Blue.

Bill Kern - Don't Listen To Them [7' Beatbad Records 1979]

The Trend hailed in a barn in the Derbyshire hills, overlooking Manchester’s Airport. A pop band led by the charismatic Mark Revell from Stalybridge. Released their debut single Teenage Crush in 1979 on their own label Trendy Records.
Then, they were picked up my "MCA" Records and went onto release three more singles before disappearing. Polly and Wendy was their second one in 1980. Rumour has it that this song was written about two sisters who went to their gigs.

The Trend - Polly & Wendy [7' MCA 1980]

Bleeding Hearts were a rare Cannot area –UK- powerpop band on the UXB label Crazy Plane Records; people said that most of these release were destroyed. ¿? Produced by Little Winston, local dj and record label owner. A must for all good pop tester. Great stomping sing-along.

Bleeding Hearts - I Need To Know [7' Crazy Plane Records 1980]

Led by JP McLain, who compares vocally to a poppier Elvis Costello, The Gems were a slightly under-developed but good new-wave pop. Also features Barry Shank later of The Unclaimed and The Long Ryders. On the power pop label, their lonely single for Titan Records out of Kansas City.

Gems - Didn't Like It Anyway [7' Titan Records 1978]

BEATFOR106 - December Singles Weekender I

The Dangtrippers were one of the few Iowa bands to play power Byrdsy-pop for a global audience. Their only album Days Between Stations remains an underrated classic of the genre with consistently fine songs. The songwriting team of singers and guitarists Devin Hill and Doug Robertson penned gorgeous tunes of guitars weave in and around each other over a sturdy rhythm section. Fantastic.

The Dangtrippers - Masquerade / Lover's Again [7' Dog Gone Records 1989]

Craig Hallsworth formed The Bamboos in the West Australian township of Collie. He’s an aussie legend, formerly of Zuvuya, The Bamboos, Healers, Outstation, and as solo artist. The band’s brand of raw guitar trash and country-swamp rock caught the attention of Citadel Records boss John Needham. Wonderful dust and liquor coated vocals, reminds me of Gurus Dave Faulkner singing. This song makes them sound like the great rock & roll band they always were, like most Australian bands creating a distinctly kitschy and catchy sound.

The Bamboos - With Which To Love You [7' Citadel Records 1987]


The Boston-based Dambuilders were a college radio staple for the better part of a decade, thanks to their noisy, chaotic take on guitar pop, in which melodies were laced with feedback and that distinctive, moaning violin played by Joan Wasser. Formed in Honolulu, Hawaii in the late '80s by Dave Derby and Eric Masunga, the band relocated to Boston early in their career, where they solidified their lineup and quickly found a place in Boston's then-thriving alternative music scene. While The Dambuilders are generally considered an "indie" band, they have received some commercial airplay with their single "Shrine" from 1994's "Encendedor". Although the song has no viable chorus, they manage to create an appealing and memorable single using a distinctly melodic verse and an innovative instrumental section used as an intro, outro, and bridge. In this section, the bass guitar plays a melodic riff using two bass strings simultaneously, as opposed to the more conventional method in which the bass player plays one string at a time. Wasser is now performing under the name Joan As Police Woman.

The Dambuilders - Shrine [7' Spinart Records 1992]

From London, an ephemeral quartet pop-rock band, The Passengers, leaded by Robert Randall. Just one single has gone down in history of the unknown, lost and crushed bands. Classic pop song, lively choruses. Enjoy it.


The Passengers - Hell To Heaven [7' True Pass Records 1988].

BEATFOR107 - December Singles Weekender II

The first single from The Shake Shakes, Beatfor97 for the second one. Classic pop, recalling the heyday of the British Invasion with their exquisitely crafted melodies and achingly gorgeous harmonies. One of the obscure great power pop singles of the 1970s.

The Shake Shakes - You Can Run [7' Notown Records 1979]

Another vintage favourite pop song. The Noogs were a power pop group from New York in the 80's, who were discovered by Bill Kern (Beat Bad Records owner label) in Oyster Bay, Long Island, NY. This first single by the Noogs, released in 1979, contains two of their best songs - the catchy "Everybody Loves You" and "Why Not," which has a reggae feel.

The Noogs - Everybody Loves You [Beat Bad Records 1980]

Guitarist Dean Chamberlain had been a founding member of the original Motels with Martha Davis. Moving to L.A. and leaving that band forming his own personal version of the great, American rock ’n’ roll band, with drummer Randall Marsh and bassist Gary Tibbs (Vibrators, Roxy Music) completing the Code Blue lineup. Despite three good musicians, some decent material and lofty artistic aspirations, the lack of any really killer tracks doomed their first LP to prompt oblivion. “Face To Face” was a touching memory of a high school girlfriend, without a doubt the best singalong.

Code Blue - Face To Face [ 7' Warner 1980]

What should be the disctinctive feature of a good song? This is a fine example : 1:54 minutes of catchy pop, punchy rock with copious hooks.
Four lads from the Netherlands released two singles in the golden age of powerpop : “Tomorrow”, “Bad Boy”, and the album “Bad Boy”. Ronald Welgemoed (singer/songwriter) is now the country-folk outfit Rebel.

Rotjoch - Tomorrow [7' Egmond/Polydor 1981]

BEATFOR105 - November Singles Weekender IV

Four-member group (Paul Breuer, Stuart Hilton, Mike Dodd and Jon Carricker) from south London Cottonmouth were a sneeringly great, scratchily perfect punk pop band gushing forth with terse, bitter-sweet melodies, mix a little of the Only Ones and coupled with a heavy dose of wry wit and verve. It's simple, back-to-basics, garage rock 'n' roll.After two singles (“Stand By Your Man” and “Shirts & Skins”), they were stolen from Fire by Atlantic Records, who thought they could turn them into another Fountains Of Wayne (a pity). What a sad ending.“Bespoke” was the English band's debut full-length released as Junior Cottonmouth, change the name change the substance, even these two singles were recording again for the radio friendly market without success.

Cottonmouth - Stand By Your Man / Can I Come Over? [7' Fire Records 1995]


Armed with jagged guitars and pounding drums, London, England's Five Thirty tried to puncture a hole in the dance-oriented U.K. music scene of the late '80s and early '90s. Formed by bassist Tara Milton and guitarist/vocalist Paul Bassett, but the masses were unmoved by the band's back-to-basics rock & roll, so Five Thirty split up in 1992. Milton started the Nubiles; and Bassett recorded with Orange Deluxe, formed in October 1992, stands proudly within the classic British Rock tradition, updated for the 1990’s. You’ll find traces of The Who, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix amid a modern guitar frenzy that wouldn’t disgrace Sonic Youth.


Orange Deluxe - Delectable [7' Dead Dead Good 1995]


Orange Cake Mix is the nom de plume of Connecticut resident Jim Rao. A prolific singer/songwriter, Jim began scribbling lyrics and humming his own melodies as a child; in the early '90s, he started recording his compositions on cassettes. He thought of the name Orange Cake Mix while stocking shelves in a supermarket. In June 1995, Jim released his first album, More Mellow Hits. A collection of acoustic pop inspired by the '70s soft rock of Bread and America. He would eventually explore other genres of music, embracing the synthesized rhythms of Depeche Mode and New Order, as well as the otherworldly sonic landscapes of Brian Eno.

BEATFOR104 - November Singles Weekender III

Based in Hull, UK, the Red Guitars' first single Good Technology was a minor hit, on their own record label, Self Drive Records selling 60,000 copies. Their third single Marimba Jive reached number one on the UK independent charts in late 1984. Diffident vocals, echoed guitars and despair lyrics, playing a mixture of punk, blues, occasional reggae and Afro-funk influences sound briefly like Cockney Rebel as well as Aztec Camera and Dream Academy… Over and over again my friend…

Red Guitars - Good Technology [7' Self Drive Records 1983]


Emerging from the remnants of mod revival groups like the Merton Parkas and the VIPs, Mood Six debuting with a pair of tracks on the A Splash of Colour compilation (1981). The group immediately launched itself to the forefront of the short-lived British psychedelia revival. Signing to EMI, Mood Six issued their first official single, "Hanging Around", but were dismissed from the label when the follow-up, "She's Too Far (Out)," proved a commercial disappointment.
In 1985, Mood Six resurfaced on the Psycho label with this cosy pop song, undoubtedly their best recording.

Mood Six - Plastic Flowers [7' Psycho 1985]



London's Barracudas offer quite an enjoyable sentimental journey through assorted rock traditions on Drop Out, their fisrt long player record : surf, pop, electric folk and psychedelia in equal shares . This ep released by Bomp’s subsidiary Voxx Records (the band is very surprised to see it) includes two tracks taken from the LP, and two covers tracks previously unreleased 1980 demos : "Surfer Joe"(Surfaris) and the classic folky "You were on my mind" by Ian & Sylvia. (Recover the great Barry McGuire version).

The Barracudas - You Were On My Mind [7' Voxx 1982]



The High Tide was another ephemeral English psyco pop revival band. Phasing effects guitars and echo languid voices. Cosmic red song with purple flashes. Freakout…





The High Tide - Dancing In My Mind [7' WEA 1981]

BEATFOR102 - November Singles Weekender I

The Explosives, was a favourite at the famous Austin club named Raul's. They were possibly the best of the punk/new wave bands that sprang up in Austin. From 1979 until 1982 The Explosives released three 7" records, and one full LP, being regular act as back up for Roky Erickson. Classic new wave jerky guitars.


The Explosives - If I Touch Her [7' Black Hole Records 1980]




Powerful trio from Scotland, their one and only recording, a swirling fusion of gloomy post-punk and Jam-inspired mod psychedelia brought the group this single in the early '80s. Incendiary guitars ready for the funeral pyre.



The Urgent Crunch Band - Listen To Silence [7' Nyeck Records 1981]


Following the end of their underachieving glam supergroup Jet in 1976, the Radio Stars were formed by ex-John's Children vocalist Andy Ellison, Sparks exile Martin Gordon and Ian MacLeod. They were at heart a quirky rock band built around Gordon's songs and Ellison's enthusiastic vocals, playing fast-moving pop/rock with heavy overtones. The quality of the material is too inconsistent to sustain interest for a whole album, but their singles are an excellent option for a rocky weekend.


Radio Stars - The Real Me [7' Chiswick Records 1978]



Mod pop band from Warwick (England). They got into the act, too, you know, new wave lads with skinny ties looking for the perfect pop song with guitars.
This single reached number 54 in the charts and would have earned them a valuable Top of the Pops appearance but due to an industrial dispute at the BBC they missed out.


The V.I.P.'s - The Quarter Moon [7' Gem Records 1980]

BEATFOR103 - November Singles Weekender II

Good Evening Manchester was a Finnish pop-rock band from the island of Aland (the island between Finland and Sweden). The band has an Irish singer in Ciaran OReilly. Released three albums adding lots of fiddles, pianos etc. to give it almost a folk-ish feeling. But this song is pure jingle jangle pop. I like this blend of chiming acoustic and electrics guitars and luscious harmonies, all the most colorful '60s sounds.

Good Evening Manchester - Go To War [7' CBS 1988]

La Granja was one of the best Spanish bands born in the worldwide garage psyco pop revival in the eighties. From Mallorca Island released many ringing pop songs, a bunch of albums with powerpoper Paul Collins producing some recordings. In 1989 brought out Magia En Tus Ojos 'Magic in your eyes', a spanish lyrics cover of Billy Bragg’s She’s Got A New Spell. They added drums and electric sound to turn it in a jingle jangle mediterranean morning.

La Granja - Magia En Tus Ojos [7' 3 Cipreses 1989]

The Three O'Clock were the quintessential L.A. Paisley Underground band, incorporated the chiming guitars of the Byrds and the influence of such groups as the Move, Hollies, Music Machine and others into their pop songs with a psychedelic bent, and the clothes to match. 1985’s Arrive Without Travelling album updates the sound by a decade or so, adding a slightly glam crunch and an AM radio gloss to tunes that recall the glory days of the Sweet and Wings.

The Three O'clock - Watching Pictures [7' IRS 1985]

The Wayward Souls was one of Sweden's sweetest secrets. Formed in Stockholm in the middle '80s brought Sweden's garage pop rock scene to the forefront nearly five years. The group's roots are strictly '60s garage and '70s powerpop... Buffalo Springfield and Plimsouls. This was their second single for prestigious Tracks On Wax label. More Bells of Rhymney.

The Wayward Souls - Wisdom Of The Heart [7' Musiknätet Waxholm 1985]
