Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back



You're blind, baby

You're blind from the facts on who you are

'Cause you're watching that garbage

Morrissey - Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself (1994)

🎶 some men here
they have a special interest
in your career
they wanna help you to grow

and then syphon all your dough
why don't you find out for yourself
then you'll see the glass
hidden in the grass

you'll never believe me, so
why don't you find out for yourself
sick down to my heart
that's just the way it goes🎶

"A brilliant, deceptively airy tune that hides some steely meditations on the music business and Moz’s place in it. The tune is impressively stripped down, yet still maintains the ethereal dreaminess of many Vauxhall tracks. And it’s got a killer hook buried beneath the verses."

She watch channel zero?
 
Oh! Penelope - I'm Gonna Miss You (1997)

JPop, City Pop, retro Disco, Dance Music with a slight Latin beat.

I think that is a mandolin in the instrumental break, starting around the 2:40 mark (but not sure).


 
Joon Moon - Call Me (2016 Live Madame Arthur)

Franco-American Pop, R&B band established in 2014 in Paris.


 
睡不著 Whyte - New York 5 A.M. (2019)

This tune has over 7 Million Spotify streams. 😮

Some cool jazz scat vocals by Whyte (pronounced Why-ta) who is a jazz/soul/R&B artist.


 
Bob Mould - When Your Heart is Broken

 
White Witch - Its So Nice To Be Stoned (1972)

Tampa Florida band who had the misfortune of being on Capricorn Records, who didn't have a clue as how to promote a Glam Rock band.


 
The Kingston Trio - Scotch And Soda (1958)

This Folk Music group does an unusual Jazz Lounge turn with this tune.

From Wiki, background story on the song:

"Scotch and Soda" was discovered by the Trio through the parents of the baseball player Tom Seaver, who had first heard it in a hotel piano lounge in 1932 when on their honeymoon in Phoenix, Arizona. They liked it so much that they had the piano player write it down for them so it would be "their song." One member of the trio (Dave Guard) was dating Seaver's older sister (Katie) at that time, and heard the song on a visit to the Seaver home. Although it is credited to Guard (he had it copyrighted in his name on March 30, 1959), the trio never discovered the real songwriter's name, though they searched for years.


 
Everyone Says Hi - Somebody Somewhere (2024)

Leeds, England, five piece Alt Rock, Indie Rock band with some superior Jangle Pop.

I swore I posted this in the 2024 New Music Thread, but I can't find it there or in the year end song draft.

🎶 Somebody somewhere
just read your message
and it made ‘em feel worse
a little worse than they did

somebody somewhere
just read your message
and it made ‘em feel stupid
or ugly
or worthless

imagine your worst day
just got a little bit worse🎶


 

Sarah Vaughan - Complete Recordings with Clifford Brown (2022)​


 
Roger Voudouris - Get Used To It (1979)

Had forgotten about this tune. Video clip (with Voudouris wearing skin tight jeans and machine wind blown hair) is from an appearance on Australian TV and it made him a star in that country.

#4 AUS, #20 NZ, #21 US, #45 CAN. Did not chart in UK.


 
Hungry Eyes


..... I know, but is this secretly like a top 20 song all time?

Everyone knows it, everyone sings along with it. It hasn't quite been overplayed/played out.

If you're 35-75 and you play this in a crowd, everyone is losing their ****.

ONE LOOK AT YOU AND I CAN'T DISGUISE!!!

(mega saxophone solo 🎷 🎷 🎷)

 
I want to increase Josh-Hines-Ward-Alan-Thicke’s contributions to the board, but “Hungry Eyes” by Eric Carmen is sort of like when I throw out my back unloading the dishwasher. Pain and grimacing followed by a generalized loathing of humanity.

Great pipes, though. Wasn’t Eric Carmen in the Raspberries or something like that? They’re very popular over at Steve Hoffman Forums. He passed last year. Shame. RIP.

Enjoy the music!
 
Inhaler - My King Will Be Kind (2021)

Dublin band fronted by Eli Hewson, Bono's son.

@zoonation has posted some other tunes by this Irish group, but I didn't see this one among them.

This song is about a teenage crush but Inadvertently/inexplicably became a fan favorite of coping, hope and resilience during the pandemic. 🤔

Cosmic slop - funkadelic 1973

Can't get it out of my head lately. Ofcourse they influenced a ton of artists (talking heads would be my favorite) but i can hear a little RATM in there. Freedom has the same feel only with a lot more crunch.

Yeah, something like that. :wink:

And responsible for one of the best Power Pop tunes of all time, "Go All The Way"


 
What am I listening to today?

Wire - “Cactused”

Still relevant at seventy-plus years old.

And a great album. Last show I saw before the world shut down in 2020

Wow. How was the show?

I know Wire shut it down because of Covid and like so many other projects, endeavors, and workings in the world they had fractured plans and didn’t keep going after it was over and the fog lifted. Aside from maintaining their website, this is their last new activity of note. :(

The show was awesome and they were plenty energetic on stage. Saw them at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. I’ve never seen the airport so empty (flying in and out). Setlist for that show isn’t easily available, but the DC setlist is comparable iirc
