Song Of the Day: May 13, 2006
Ah the early 80s, when the only cloud in the sky was the dark threat of nuclear holocaust. My tribute set would include "World Destruction" from the Afrika Bambaataa/John Lydon collaboration Timezone, "Party at Ground Zero" from Fishbone and... "Sally."
"Sally" is the record most emblematic of the Little Hits ethos for me – bought with nothing to go on besides its DIY cover art, but this radio-station reject turned out to be a rather worthy purchase. It's a new wave mash of ska rhythms and sassy female pop vocals, No Doubt decades early.
Hard to find out much about NRC, who also give their name spelled out as Nuclear Regulatory Commission. What info is there on the web indicates they were from Tennessee and earlier released an album and another single. Songwriting for Sally is credited on the label to "V. Kadavr."

Hi, and thanks for this blog. I have a new music shopping list. :)
FYI, there's a website called mp3-center.org that is linking to your files. (For example, I would up here after Googling the Moss Poles. Check the download link -- yep, it's littlehits.com!) It may not be legal but it's damn sneaky... and people will be able to download the tunes without visiting your site. I think that'd be a shame since your site is so great. :)
Thanks, and keep up the good work! I look forward to having my ears opened some more as I continue to read Little Hits!
I have this single and like it. I had the LP and didn't like it so much. I ended up selling/trading it away. The other single I've been told is decent.
In my opinion, the "Disposable Sponges" is the winner by far, of the tracks on this 45. //
I Had a press kit in my LP. Loads of clipping and a poster. I agree with the other comments, the LP is not so hot.
