This is beaming directly from there alternate universe where 1974 Burt Bacharach had a Krautrock phase. Which means it’s perfect. So want album.

This is excellent. As usual. Baffled by why she’s not just, like, enormous.

The best I can say about the production is that it sounds like an in-the-red remix of an Exciter-era Depeche Mode b-side. The lyrics, though. Jesus.

The reason I [signed to a major] is because I wanted more resources to make visual art. Yeah, well…that’s, uh…money well spent, I guess.

Such an incredible song, and The Death of Cool is a magnificent album. But I much prefer the original recording that was tucked away on the b-side of their skyscraping 1989 single “The third time we opened the capsule.” It’s less shimmering and just feels tighter in the chest: https://youtu.be/ce_hbpXwu20 That aside, The Death of Cool also contains possibly my all-time favorite Kitchens song, “Mad as snow.” I can never not cry to this. https://youtu.be/AgdUxT2Q8VY

She doesn’t exactly have a Reputation for being Fearless, but that’s just part of her folklore.

I had to immediately listen to “The winner takes it all” to scrub away the stink “Fingers crossed” left on its melody. As for Gayle, well…I guess you can’t have a 90s revival without an Ugly Kid Joe in there somewhere.

So great. And their reunion EP from a couple years back, Shakespears Sister Rides Again was also delightful.

Remarkable how the slightly slowed down Bow Wow Wow sample reduces the franticness by a factor of ten!

The Four Tops get the 10 not only for the song but because (as clearly evidenced by the Soul Train) they definitely knew how to coordinate.

To be fair, the first Fugees album was very good and the second Fugees album was very successful. It also seems pretty reasonable to suggest that this announcement would’ve been made even if COVID weren’t a concern.

I don’t care for any of her music at all, but I do believe here love and support of record stores is genuinely sincere. If it helps, I’m all for it.

Well, it’s a marked improvement over “Hunter’s moon,” but it’s still crappy.

del Amitri’s eponymous debut LP (from 1985) is an all-time, to-the-grave favorite from my very first listen. Pretty radically different to their 90s hits, and all for the better (in my opinion). If you’re a fan of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, early James, and 80s XTC, this may be up your alley. Plus, it’s produced by the incredible Hugh Jones. https://youtu.be/Ssoe4sThqwk In the spring of 1986, del Amitri reached out to their US fans (most of whom had sent away to their fan club for the free lyric poster advertised on the back of the album), and organized the “whistle stop tour” of the States. With no label support (and no work visas, for that matter), they Blanche DuBois’d around the country, relying on the kindness of strangers. With some friends (including my recent prom date, Ilisa), we helped organize a show at the legendary Electric Banana in Pittsburgh. The dels and their manager stayed at Ilisa’s house, the band I was in, The Hay Wain, opened and shared our gear, and an absolutely incredible time was had by all. Still have the badge, of course. Along with a slew of cherished memories. https://i.ibb.co/hfv3jfN/813-F0-F24-C6-A8-4-C37-B839-24-E328-CA3-C61.jpg
