Popular Music with Attitude.

Thanks Zloth didn't know that band🙂.

They popped up on MTV's 120 Minutes from time to time or I never would have heard of them. The two guys on guitar joined Looking Glass studios when it was starting up, as did the gal on keyboard. She stuck with Looking Glass and Arkane to do some writing as well some voice acting, including a rather recognizable one.

I've had that song on the repeat list in my car for decades and never realized I was hearing SHODAN!

Time for a classic, New Zealand style, getting us through the winter🙂

Perhaps not the best dance moves, but the vocals are soooooo good!

I like NinaXLeonard quite a bit today and most days.

(I love that Sandstorm cover, only just discovered that).
Yes putting Nina with Leonard's lyrics is special. I've always thought that great singers convey emotion, and she does that with power, plus you can hear her history and the history of her people in her voice. Billie Holiday was the same and Charlie Parker through his sax. And representing Spain, Paco de Lucia, the power and expression through his playing.

Yes totally get this now(woke in night with vocal shifts in my mind). I think I'm just so used to a different type of vocal harmonising it took a while.

The first band just look like a good night out. Like these guys. (is it time for a Dutch lager! It's only 3.20)

One of the guys from Balkan Beat Box used to be in Gogol Bordello.

That would be madness live!

It's interesting when you listen to bands like Balkan Beat Box, you can hear the range of influences. I have some friends who tend to only listen to music within a few genres and that means they are limiting themselves in what they hear, but also what they're open to.

I realised that with the Loituma track above, I'm so used to vocal harmonies like African choirs(which Paul Simon popularised) to the Beach Boys, it takes a sort of shift to accept something new.

This is the Charlie Parker track I was thinking of. I believe Billie Holiday styled her vocal patterns on the sax(generally).
And the story goes that Bird hated this version so much he threw his sax through the studio window.

Of course it became a classic.

Friday's done, welcome to Recovery day. Time for some smooth style from the classy Sade methinks.

[ipman]

Yes I like Sade, that whole album and there was one track dedicated to the Salvation Army, Sally.(even after she became famous she would be seen pushing to bump start her old car just off King's road).

I knew the Camper van Beethoven and the Peaches track. It's hard to pinpoint why some tracks like that are so good. In the same way>

In line with the space theme, Public Service Broadcasting performing Gagarin. They also performed it at the Blue Dot festival at the Jodrell Bank observatory, home of the Lovell radio telescope.

Definitely the latter, you joker🙂

Here's a bit of heavy techno from Bournemouth of all places(for those outside UK it's a sleepy retirement town on the south coast). That bass.
