Gene Pitney - House without windows Gene scaling operatic heights in just under two and a half minutes. A favourite song of Leonard Cohen's, apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soi-iewa RV4 | ||

Major Stars - Blackout What's this then? Indie prog with a slightly flat & buried folky vocal? Around since '97, apparently, but this is the first I've heard of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0l-kkDz 2iY | ||

That Major Stars song is excellent. They have vanishingly few Spotify listens. I wonder if they’re a bit of a hobby band. The vocalist Noell Dorsey works in the wine industry. Margaret Glaspy covers Wilco with help from Norah Jones https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yWe42S_kid I | ||

Morrissey – I Have Forgiven Jesus From 2004, in the days when the band played under and around his voice rather than the bulldozers he seems to prefer nowadays. I like the way he muffs the lyric, repeating “condescension”, then throws in a third repetition with a sly smirk. And a very good lyric it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHKPtmyE jeI&list=RDzHKPtmyEjeI&start_radio=1 | ||

Mainly Spaniards - That's What Your Friends Are For "We'll go out and get drunk together and get depressed together. That's what your friends are for." Flying Nun 1982 Seems really timely nowadays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVjs7pk4 4M8&list=RDCVjs7pk44M8&start_radio=1 | ||

Magazine - Shot by both sides 1978 Great again, after all these years. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 4976 Registered: 03-2005 |
Thanks for the Brel, Simon. Timeless, as his songs often are. And especially now when an astonishing number of people around the world seem to have forgotten the life and world lessons of their own recent ancestors. Uli B, hooray for Magazine! As is so common for me I discovered them right after they disbanded but once I did I was all Magazine all the time for quite a while. |
