'Our Sweetness Has Become A Problem' by Hell On Wheels. From their album 'Oh My God! What Have I Done?' There are two versions of the song on their MySpace website ( Standalone Player; Video - Second from bottom.) The video contains the version of the song as it appears on the album and is by far the better of the two in my opinion. http://www.myspace.com/hellonwheelss | ||

Flesh For Bones - Terra Naomi. It's on a Word magazine CD and is absolutely stunning. I've played it four times in the last hour. Anybody know anything about her/them? Is the album worth getting, does it live up to this one amazing song? The kind of song that, seriously, restores your faith that there is still brilliant music out there to be discovered. | ||

Scooter Girl - Marshmallow See her once and you won't forget her Riding a light bue lambretta And you may have seen her round Her wheels don't seem to touch the ground Don't look now but there she goes She waves to people that she knows She weaves between the rush hour cars With one hand on the handlebars Scooter Girl, Scooter Girl Did you ever see such a cuter girl? A different kind of commuter girl Born to ride, she's a Scooter Girl. Sometimes she smiles as she passes See yourself in her sunglasses And then you turn back to see her Looking in her rearview mirror Scooter Girl, Scooter Girl Did you ever see such a cuter girl? A different kind of commuter girl Born to ride, she's a Scooter Girl. She smells of petrol and perfume Oil, grease and lavender But you would give a million Just to be her pillion passenger See her riding in the rain She's passing by your house again You recognise that engine sound And her wheels don't seem to touch the ground Scooter Girl, Scooter Girl Did you ever see such a cuter girl? A different kind of commuter girl Talking 'bout a Scooter Girl, Scooter Girl Etc. | ||

It really works, doesn't it Spence? I first heard it on my iPod walking down one of the residential streets in New Farm heading to breakfast. Perfect. | ||

Spence - that's quite an endoresment! I'm intrigued. Randy, I know you've mentioned them when talking about your week in Brisbane, but what's the deal with the Bell Divers? | ||

Their guitarist is a former poster on this board, though it's been a few years now. We kept in loose touch after he dropped off here. Check your mail. | ||

Ain't the Gothic Archies one of Stephin Merritt's oufits? | ||
| Allen Belz Member Username: Abpositive Post Number: 624 Registered: 09-2006 |
Yes they are...the Dylan mention's a joke, actually. I've been listening to the album that that song's on a lot - it gets richer and funnier every time. | ||

Marty Wilde - ABERGAVENNY? I think this must be the title, its awesome. Juast heard it whilst feeding my twins their breakfast, it was on Radio 2, the Saturday morning 60's slot with Brian mathews? I'd never heard it before, it sounde likse Franz Ferdipantz! I want to cover it with The WInnebago Orchestra. (hire the orchestra now!) | ||

Pink Panther Theme - Henry Mancini An old perennial...I hear it in passing and it sticks around for days, weeks... | ||

Slightly surreal moment of the day: I was in Goodwill digging with hope through the record section. On the loudspeaker was the tapes or streaming audio (the Goodwill Radio Network, probably). The usual: "Funkytown," "White Wedding." And then - "Sgt. Rock (is Going to Help Me)." Followed by something by Hall & Oates. | ||

Wow! I'd forgotten what a huge American hit "Sgt. Rock" was. (Yeah, sure.) I think some of those schlocky muzak providers are slipping hipster ringers in with the schlock, as I was in a RiteAid recently when the National's "Fake Empire" came on after some typical '80s dreck like "Let's Hear It for the Boy." I stayed and shopped for a few extra minutes because of the major music upgrade! | ||
| Allen Belz Member Username: Abpositive Post Number: 643 Registered: 09-2006 |
The music providers are probably giving their music sequencers one song of their choice per hour, in lieu of a raise... | ||

Radio Nowhere - Bruce Springsteen. This is power pop genius. And I'm not kidding! Those of you who suffer from Brucelosis won't like it of course. | ||

Allen, I used to work in Goodwill in Roxbury, Boston (the Harlem of Boston to those of you not familiar with Beantown). It was pretty much just tapes there at the time. Maybe there was some vinyl too. Can't remember there being any CDs. I got lots of books there though. | ||
