I will definitely be checking out "Buried Treasure." Always interested in discovering new/old music...thanks for the heads up on that.
My problem is, although at one time, only music that was listened to by the original cafe racers qualified as true "cafe racer" music for me, but that's pretty limiting, and would eliminate all "psychobilly" music, etc, so, like a stone thrown into a pond, the music candisates keep radiating further outward. Newer songs such as "Ace Face" by The Attention (video a few postings up) made the cut for me because of the title and the rocking quality of the band.
Then, I've gone even further afield, parsing it to one certain song that work as a soundtrack for riding my bike at a particular time...such as this The The song....whenever I ride the XS on a cool rainy, overcast day, my mental junkbox spools up "Uncertain Smile." Not a "cafe song" in any particular sense, but it works for me...
