We Plants Are Happy Plants doesn't just have super fun name, he also makes super fun music! I first stumbled upon him through some hype digging and was totally hooked by his "Superheros" remix (which quickly ended up in my deejay playlist, but never quite made it onto Res). As I do, I friended him on his social networking site of choice to keep tabs (as I do with tons of artists). Well the the other day I get an update saying he's got a new original track out called "Trance Steel". And you know what? [...]
From the wiki: In 1985, the trio joined up with Marc Almond to record a version of the Donna Summer classic "I Feel Love". The full version was actually a medley, also incorporating snippets of Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" and John Leyton's "Johnny Remember Me". It was a huge success, reaching #3 in the UK, equalling the chart achievement of "Smalltown Boy". Although the original had been one of Marc Almond's all-time favourite songs, he had never read the lyrics and thus incorrectly sang "What'll it [...]
The single, Danger [ buy ], from Swedish duo The Sound of Arrows ( Oskar Gullstrand / Stefan Storm ) is equal parts retro/synth/new wave ( Bronski Beat , OMD ) and chamber/twee-pop ( The Field Mice , Belle & Sebastian ). The sum is a familiar yet refreshing sound ---perfect for the start of summer. Enjoy. Danger mp3 My Big Bonus MP3s [...]
Image cred: Wild Nature Images . I remember playing this track out quite a few times last summer (or around then) at all sorts of grungy places. Since then, I have graduated to new songs, walked away from the mash-up fever that was 2007 & the internet, and lost 1 hard drive filled with all of my music collected before this past October. When I just recently remembered this track, I dove to the computer and scurried about the usual aggregators, looking for the remains of one of my old favs. Like I told Keith [...]
Hey, did you know Sunday, August 12th is Vinyl Record Day ? Me neither, until I was invited by the lovely jb over at The Hits Just Keep On Comin' to participate in a "blogswarm" to mark the occasion. Any regular reader of this site knows the amount of time I spend getting my fingers nice and dirty flipping thru old, musty album covers at a variety of used record shops nationwide, so how could I resist? (By the way, always bring Purell when record shopping.) So, where do you find the good vinyl? Depends [...]

NOW THERE'S SOMETHING I HAVEN'T HEARD IN AGES....
The title of today's posting is something I sometimes find myself saying when I'm reading other blogs. And I'm reserving the right to use it again in a future posting when I can't think of a of a punningly clever heading.... But I suspect that for many of you, it will be a while since you heard today's offering from Bronski Beat. It was the third single lifted from the 1984 LP Age Of Consent,

45 45s AT 45 : NUMBER 27
I've written about Bronski Beat before. And I make no apologies of repeating what I said then – it really is all too easy to forget how brave Jimmy Somerville and Bronski Beat were for being so open about their way of life and their views. Their records, and those of such as the Pet Shop Boys and Frankie Goes To Hollywood took the celebration of queer culture into the mainstream, and made many

Good Taste Bad Taste
Last week end my partner and myself were invited to a diner party, older readers probably know the sort of affair, four or five couples that have known each other for many years though today we probably only meet up two or three times a year at the most. As is usual with these affairs conversation revolved around a) our children, b) our work, c) whatever happened to so and so and d) music which was after all one of the things that bonded us together all those years ago. As has been the case with our lives in [...]

Nineteen Eighty Three
Ok, as the title says these are bands that were formed in the year 1983. All the tracks are most likely not from that year (although all tracks were released sometime in the 80's) however; the band started in that year. My favorites out of this batch are General Public, Wire Train and Beat Farmers (who I saw live in the 80's while living in Dallas). Check em all out and enjoy! mp3 Big Rock Candy Mountain ( Beat Farmers ) mp3 No More War ( [...]
