Listening to Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever's "Talk Tight" on YouTube...very good indeed. A big thank you to everyone that has mentioned them here ! | ||

When I first mentioned Rolling Blackouts C.F., I kind of dismissed "Talk Tight"'s follow-up, "The French Press." I hereby retract that assessment. If you guys are becoming fans, give "The French Press" a try. I still don't think it hits the heights of "Talk Tight" (the title track sure does) but it definitely keeps me itching for a proper long-player from these guys. Glad to know they're making some converts here. | ||

The Delgados - American Trilogy Almost forgotten how wonderful this song from "The Great Eastern" is... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFt_vocR J64 There is a comment on Youtube that I like... "Stands among the last decade and a half of pop/rock like a cathedral in field of garden sheds." | ||

Billy Bragg and Johnny Marr - Greetings to the New Brunette (great video on YouTube from A Taste of Honey). When I got married six years ago - to Shirley - this formed part of the 20 minutes of music I could choose before the ceremony. With some deft editing I managed the Billy Bragg version of this, Spring Rain, Weather with You by Crowded House, And I Her/Here, there and Everywhere by the Beatles, Glenn Gould playing Bach and some Philip Glass* The Philip Glass choice, in retrospect, was probably not the best one possible. The Photographer was about Eadweard Muybridge and his trial for killing his wife...! | ||

Walk off the Earth - A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall WOTE are a Canadian band of excellent musicians who seem to spend most of their time doing novelty, but rather cool, versions of current hits for YouTube. This, though, is a beautiful and impassioned version of the BD song. Hot irons would not draw from me where I heard it, though perhaps a Scot living far from home may be forgiven the odd weepy flounder in TV tosh. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3823 Registered: 03-2005 |
Simon, early Split Enz!! New Vaudeville before they normalized themselves into New Wave. I haven't heard that song in years. Love the spoken intro! There was a wonderful little window when art student bands ran with the inspiration from the likes of Queen and Sparks. Here's a marvelous low-budge example from Canada and also 1977: the underrated Dishes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOM5DeXJ BOM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_TcNlmf 998 | ||

'Kantate' by Maria Lassnig This is very leftfield. I'm a big fan of Francis Bacon (the artist, not the philosopher) and went to an exhibtion of his work at Tate Liverpool last year where it was paired with the work of Maria Lassnig. And I found this autobiographical song (with paintings/animation) of hers haunting, and now YouTube has it with the English translation (my German's 'rusty, and that's being generous to it!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX-5oEHw ZE0 | ||

| Simon Withers Member Username: Sfwithers Post Number: 480 Registered: 08-2005 |
Hugh, that's great. Jangly 80s indiepop (The Chesterfields/Mighty Lemon Drops/Orange Juice?) with an infusion of The Smiths... Luckily I love jangly guitar pop. | ||

| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3824 Registered: 03-2005 |
Simon, the number of jangly guitar pop groups who made some pretty decent music in the 80s and 90s is proving to be mind-boggling. Not all of them are jangly of course. It's totally flipped my perception of the 1980s. All three new Firestation releases ordered, Hugh. Here's a old favorite of mine from an earlier Firestation release, the Black Cillas' "Sebastian": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wnLhbKN S3c | ||
| Hugh Nimmo Member Username: Hugh_nimmo Post Number: 1041 Registered: 03-2007 |
Simon, My introduction to the band was several years ago via a Firestation Records compilation. I was hugely disappointed when I discovered that their back catalogue ( mini album; two 12" singles ) had only ever been issued on vinyl so I am delighted to see this release. I am in full agreement with Randy. I was a prolific record collector in the 80s and 90s and yet, as time goes on, I am beginning to think I only scraped the surface of what wonderful music was available at the time. Here is another example of an excellent re-issue from 1987. A band from Wellington, New Zealand who relocated to the U.K. where they released one album before disbanding. Pretty Olivia Records released their entire back catalogue ( 20 tracks ) in 2016. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apE7X3tK Geg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jCB_G-F Lws Randy, Uwe knows that he is guaranteed to sell at least two copies of every CD release. :-) | ||

Sara Isaksson & Rebecka Törnqvist - Do It Again. An extraordinary piano-led cover of the Steely Dan song by this Swedish duo. | ||
| Simon Withers Member Username: Sfwithers Post Number: 481 Registered: 08-2005 |
Hugh, thanks again. Haven't had a chance to catch up on these (work! Bah!) but I echo what you say. In the 80s I was listening to a lot of 60s psychedelia (Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape, Doors, Beatles etc) but also the likes of the Teardrop Explodes, the Cure, Chills, Go-Betweens, discovering the likes of Ed Kuepper and the Church in 1988 when I lived in Sydney. But I know that loads of music passed me by - for example I only discovered the House of Love about 6-7 years ago courtesy of this very bulletin board. And since then I've come across Emily Barker, Laura Veirs, Regina Spektor; I know there has to be more music out there that I'd like - it's just knowing where to find it... | ||

XTC - Making Plans for Nigel (I went to a book signing with Andy Partridge last year and he was lovely, charming and amusing - and seemingly comfortable in the environment, a bookshop with mayeb 50-60 people there. He was invited by somebody who recognised him as a semi-regular at a Bath pub) | ||

Morrissey - I wish you lonely Something of an epic lyric for this new song. The desolation he gets into his voice on the word "heroin" is truly moving. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 8371 Registered: 05-2005 |
Simon, if you had not mentioned Emily Barker, I would not have noticed her album Sweet Kind Of Blue in Red Eye records this afternoon and I would not have bought it and I would not now be listening to it. So, thank you. I bought the LP, which is 10 tracks, but it came with a download card which includes the album and a whopping eight bonus tracks. Nice one. | ||
