AKA, James Chance and the Contortions, James White and the Blacks, and various other names. I’m always surprised when people do not know about the Contortions. Even people that I would think would know about them, people versed in 80s new wave and/or no wave, DJs, musicians, people who play music and sound like their [...] Check out Tom Zacharias, you will not be disappointed. Here’s a post about him, which pretty much says it all. This guy apparently was the “star of a bizarre televized enema championship.” If that’s not enough to peak your interest, then I don’t know what is. You can also join him on [...] I used to have this movie on a Beta tape, but someone took it while I lived on Lexington Street in the late 1980s and I never saw it again. I’ve looked for it at various times at video stores and on netflix (ha), but no one ever seems to carry it. This [...] [...] Mi abuelo Pachu, made several recordings of his mother, my great-grandmother Bita, telling him old family stories. There is a stack of cassettes of Bita telling stories during her last months of life. Bita was my last living great-grandparent and I have many vivid memories of her. Hearing her voice already takes [...] For some reason I’m fascinated by these guys. I’m not sure what it is. I don’t like the music all that much. I don’t hate it either. The chorus for Hold On is catchy, but not enough to be annoying and not interesting enough to deserve any kind of admiration. It’s something about [...] Happy Birthday Elvis. Some guy has been doing remixes of Elvis tunes. Here’s the original of Let Yourself Go. And here’s the remix. There is something to be discussed here, but I’m already a day late with this post… maybe next year. And here’s Dean Martin and Foster Brooks and drinks. And pay attention to the guaranteed [...] Well, it’s New Year’s Eve, and we are having the first of what I hope will be many NYE parties. My grandparents, Nanana y Pachu, siempre had NYE parties. Even after he passed away, she continued to have NYE parties until just a few years ago. I think she was already in her 90s [...] Best song of 1968 in 2009 – Las Ovejitas by Los Salvajes. A song about counting sheep. Killer rhythm, awesome guitar solo, spacey intro and outro, my daughter loves it and loves to sing along to the chorus and how it turns around at the end from no to si. Here’s a good [...] I’m really digging estos fake Beatles. Rompan Todo. This is such a rocker. I don’t know when the video was made, but I like it. They have an interesting concept – Uruguay band, writes own music, but with a strict Beatles vocabulary, titles records and songs in Spanish but sings in English. Siempre Asi. [...] |
