dexys week: 'i couldn't help it if i tried'

Aug 11, 2008, 6:00am galactic mystery solvers
Dexy's Midnight Runners - I couldn't help if I tried
searching for the young soul rebels was sold on its succession of up-tempo foot-stomping soul-shouters. but it's the slow-burning centrepieces, 'keep it' and 'i couldn't help it if i tried', which deserve as much attention, coming closer to edwin starr than to geno washington.

dexys week: "welcome the new soul vision"

Olivia Newton John & ELO - Xanadu
sticking with dexys in their projected passion revue rabble-rousing punk-soul ram-jam irish-literature-loving, clean-living, master-tape-stealing, manifesto-spluttering, marching-on-the-spot docker-chic phase, here we have 'there there my dear', released as a single in 1980. unlike its predecessor, 'geno', it didn't reach number one. but then, it was up against 'xanadu' by olivia newton-john and the electric light orchestra. don't f- with qubla khan, kevin.

Albums of the Year: 1980

Jul 29, 2008, 3:18pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
In my notebook, I have shortlists for my albums of the year for 1979 and 1980 side-by-side. The list for 1979 is shorter, but infinitely better; 1980's list includes 24 albums, but fewer which I'm particularly enthusiastic about. While I'm deciding which albums to bump from '79, here's the 1980 lot, with decent albums by David Bowie, Paul Simon, Kate Bush, Motörhead, Ideal and Roxy Music not

Sugar and spice and all things nice

May 24, 2008, 1:09am It All Started With Carbon Monoxide
Pippi Longstocking is probably not the quintessential example of sugar and spice, but she's definitely full of spirit and pluck. Hopefully these songs cover all of those elements, and then some. I'm definitely not the first person to do a girl's names mix, and there are a couple of old faves here, but hopefully there's [...]

TVD's Weekend Shots

TVD's Weekend Shots An oh-so-anonymous reader writes… I've come up with so many different lists from so many different starting points here – songs from a year / songs from a particular compilation tape / songs with a theme /songs… ach, eventually we just need to play what we need to play. Always remember the 'gremlins' rule (don't make a playlist after midnight and expect it to behave itself – not much of that one is left here) but that aside, this is a mixture of some old and some newish, some things well known and [...]

Vacation II: Day 1 – Lazy Saturday Afternoon

Jul 28, 2007, 5:21pm Armagideon Time
Vacation II: Day 1 – Lazy Saturday Afternoon My second scheduled vacation for 2007 has begun with the roar of a cantankerous lawn mower and the rumbling of thunderstorms headed this way. As the morning's yardwork has left me feeling completely thrashed and the potential for nasty motherboard-frying surges is limiting the time spent on the computer today, I figured I'd use this opportunity to give my answers to the "Name five to ten songs that have impacted your life" meme AC tagged me with. This was harder to compile than expected, as "significant" is a much different creature than "favorite." Most [...]

Going Green

May 4, 2007, 6:25pm Southcoasting
Interesting election results yesterday in my maverick part of the wood. Brighton was the part of the country with the highest proportion of its population registering their religion on the census as Jedi! We're a bit odd like that. Now, in the latest elections - which will change little, but are mainly the population's chance to tell Tony Blair how disappointed we are with him and how little

Until I Believe In My Soul

Feb 1, 2007, 4:33pm Untouched By Work or Duty
Until I Believe In My Soul This Dexys look (from 2003) is based on the 1947 film adaptation of Graham Greene's Brighton Rock . Although the NME was pretty late in reporting this (just as I am—it's been up for at least a couple of weeks or so), we had a very good reason for staying away from this. We were a bit behind on this year's wonderful Celebrity Big Brother , and since Kevin Rowland was posting Myspace blogs about Shilpa and the situation (and he goes back and [...]

Sunday I Got Throwback Thursday on my mind

Jan 21, 2007, 9:52am Some Velvet Blog
Sunday I Got Throwback Thursday on my mind The weekly Throwback Thursday usually hits on Thursday but with vacation and business travel my schedule has been a little crazy. So, now that I'm settled back at SVB world headquarters, I figured I'd bust out Throwback Thursday v.4 - and this time around we focus on 1980 Truth is, 1980 actually began in 1977/78. Corporate rock ruled. Disco was dead. The Clash, The Heads and punk kept us honest and hopeful. Prince was on his way to breaking out. Kurtis Blow (above) rocked us with "The Breaks," Rush scored a [...]
