George Michael's "Freedom! '90" will always and forever be one of my favorite songs and videos. The iconic music video features supermodels Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Tatjana Patitz, Christy Turlington , and Cindy Crawford (and male models John Pearson, Scott Benoit, Mario Sorrenti, Peter Formby, and Todo Segalla) all lip-synching to the epic pop hit. In fact Michael (due to being fed up with the media) never physically appears in the video but rather through symbolism - his signature leather jacket, a jukebox, a guitar.

Since we were on the subject yesterday, why let a great decade go now? So here's yet another '90s list and possibly my most random one ever. 1. "No Scrubs" TLC (1994) My favorite girl group of the '90s (followed by En Vogue, SWV, Brownstone, Total, Zhane and Xscape, with Destiny's Child bringing up the rear by the end of the decade) was always more consistent than its fellow '90s sisters with voices, who were, for the most part, better on the singles scene than they were in long-term relationships. In other words, their hits [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-06T08:36:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4816503/waiting-and-wondering-about-you-the-xx/
Putney's primary monochromicmiserablists The xx seem to be a more or less permanent fixture in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge they're in as often as Edith Bowman most probably. Alas, they were absent when we were in a couple weeks back, but they were again present and correct for the umpteenth time this year last night as they uttered dulcet mumbles and transmogrified Kings of Tomorrow's deep house classic Finally into a smouldering, typically reverb-sodden, though atypically upbeat romp.

Since back in the early '80s when the band rose from the ashes of Joy Division , New Order has continuously made slick pop songs that occasionally border on genius, but have recently failed to be more than anything but a novelty. Sure, the band had critical and commercial success with such albums as Power, Lies, & Corruption and Technique but since their initial breakup following 19932s Republic , New Order has been coasting [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-16T22:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4727431/artists-to-watch-in-2013-chad-valley/
Think GEORGE MICHAEL for the 21st century, and that will take you somewhere in the vicinity of CHAD VALLEY . If this doesn't entice you, maybe his collaborations with the best on the electronic scene will. 'Fall 4 You' features the vocals ofCameron Mesirow, aka. Californian GLASSER , and is the first single released off the album Young Hunger .

I've always considered myself to be a diehard urbanite with no significant fondness for the great outdoors. But after decades of living in concrete jungles, Ubud has got me rethinking that particular self-categorization. As I prepare to leave after two days on this side of Bali's paradise, I'm realizing that I haven't eaten a single meal completely indoors since my arrival in Indonesia on Monday.

Apparently Liam Gallagher and Andy 'the one out of Ride' Bell were at George Michael's recent show in London, but only managed 23 minutes before heading off to the bar. George Michael has rushed to the internet to set matters straight - although, oddly, he seems to think this reflects on Liam rather than himself: "Please don't hold it against Liam that he popped off to the bar at Saturday's show", Michael tweeted. "He's a lovely guy and has always been really friendly to me and very complimentary about my music."

Eppure, dopo circa 23 minuti, ha abbandonato i presenti insieme al compagno di band Andy Bell Non gli probabilmente piaciuta la scaletta o i brani interpretati da George poich: mentre tutti erano allegri, ballando e cantanto i brani dell'artista, Liam si stancato e non ha [...]]]> text/html 2012-10-02T12:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4541040/george-michael-cancels-tour-dates-seeks-anxiety-treatment-morning-mix/

Been a hectic week. Deluna Fest was a lot of fun and I plan on writing something about it next week sometime. I've also had a lot of actual honest to goodness writing work to do too, which feels great. Although whenever that happens the blog kind of falls to theback burner. Hence the lack of posts all week and the relatively brevity of tonight's post. But hey, the music is pretty rad. More music next week I promise.
