That album is glorious. I've been listening on bandcamp and waiting for the next payday.

I've just got back from seeing Trembling Bells at my local library, so I'm listening to them again, seeing as they're ace.
Also this week:
And
Avantasia - "Metal Opera 1".
And my 19 year old son who has decided it's better to be a slack-ass loser gripe at me because I took all the extras off his smart phone package.
It's a wonderful ****ing day.

I never believed that anyone on The Sopranos would actually have listened to that song.

Drea De Matteo might have...heh. But, yeah probably not any of the wiseguys. Good god, I used to worship that show. First three seasons especially. I was watching some clips from a memorial for James G and saw the clip from where he tried to kill his mom in the nursing home after she had the hit put out on him. POWERFUL stuff. Im at work so I cant link it.
Bobby "Blue" Bland
By the time I finally managed to catch him live, he was old, blind, and couldn't sing anymore -- it was a sad day for me. Keb' Mo' opened for him and, although he tried not to, stole the show. Kind of like when Suzi Tedeschi opened for Buddy Guy back in the '90s, before she and Derek Trucks started touring together.

The "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" soundtrack.
EDIT: Just read the news about Bobby Bland. Now I'm even sadder.
Yeah, Marsh kind of neglected to mention that he had died the day before.
:(
Man, I'm way behind in this thread.

Latest by And So I watch You From Afar. Their early stuff was patchy, although Set Guitars to Kill was a blinder, but this is solid gold.
Newly finished tracks on a very old and dear friend's new CD.
Patiently awaiting today's Funk for Friday post.
In the meantime, some related music:
Martha Reeves and the Vandellas--"Nowhere to Run" (Vive le UAW!)
And, not related at all, but what I'm actually listening to:
Kiwi indie rockers The Bats--"The Law of Things"
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Sandy Nelson - Let There Be Drums
Joe Cocker. Mad Dogs and Englishmen- Cry Me A River

King Curtis & The Kingpins - Memphis Soul Stew
:) have a fantastic weekend!
Best instrumental track ever!

Phoenix, a Romanian band who have (had?) at least two very good albums:
And Mugur De Fluier, which I found for a quid at a car boot sale and was super excited, since I thought I'd found some sort of ultra obscure rarity. Needless to say, I hadn't, but it's still great.

Being Boring with the Pet Shop Boys might just be my favourite music video ever.
Not available in the States, alas.
To make up for my disappointment,
(I like how the youtube commenters trash today's music and talk about how the eighties were the real deal. I mean, I like the PSB, but I never thought I'd ever see them used as an example of authenticity. Hee hee!)

Mmm, Pet Shop Boys, It's a Sin.
Ah, Euro-pop. Duran Duran? Adam Ant? Depeche Mode? Whacky stuff.

Although, technically, that middle one isn't Europop, it's Antmusic.
When they saw you kneeling
Crying words that you mean
Opening their eyeballs eyeballs
Pretending that you're Al Green Al Green

Absolutely. They were cheeky sometimes, but they are absolutely fantastic songwriters, producers, arrangers, you name it.
I think it's a tragedy for the indie scene to scoff at the mainstream. I'm not pointing at you in particular, you understand, just as a general statement about some (other) music snobs. Like, if you didn't have torn jeans and play distorted guitar you weren't authentic, or you were trying too hard to be mainstream, or it isn't really art if you make money. That sort of rubbish.
I think that's one reason that I have a grudging respect for the "hipster" crowd; they like whatever is good. It's playlistism turned back on itself. You can have Britney Spears, John Fogerty, Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr., Donna Summer, and Autechre on the same playlist. And why the heck not? They're all awesome in their own right.
Not that there isn't genuine, pandering trash out there, it's just that anyone with their nose in a specific scene or style or ethos too deep can't tell s#%* from shinola in any others.
In my personal experience.

Ooh, Hungry Like the Wolf. The super-tall Sri Lankan model in that video is crazy beautiful. Her maybe being a were-leopard only adds to that. :)

Well, no wereleopards, alas, but if you liked her, you might like my girlfriend.

I largely agree. At the same time, though, there's a thing called "artifice" and another thing called "irony" which, imho, the Pet Shop Boys exemplify a hell of a lot more than "authenticity."
Funny story, though. When I was younger I landed the Boston hipster's dream job, which was a position in the warehouse for the area's largest "alternative music" chain. I was so excited because I was finally going to live out my fantasies of rubbing shoulders with the international underground hipster elite.
Anyway, it wasn't very long at all before rumors were circulating through the place that I was gay, a communist, and an a*&$$#@. (Well, those latter two might be true.)
One time, I signed up for overtime to go set up one of their stores, and the other workers were listening to the most wretched hardcore, over and over and over. Think Blood for Blood, if that means anything. Finally, I got a chance to select the music and I threw on PSB's Discography. Hee hee! Let's just say it didn't help my reputation.
