Provenance: The Pretty Things' fifth studio album: Parachute, 1970. No r&b bluesbreakers here -- instead, proto new-wave power-pop. Two years out from S.F. Sorrow, "She's A Lover" finds the band shedding its skin as the decade turned and the seventies began. MP3: The Pretty Things :: She's A Lover

I received a message from Stuarto requesting I cover his show in the late afternoon hours of Friday, March 8. After a minute or two to think about it, I agreed. In all the times I've covered for his show over the past year and a half, I have never done a show that gives a nod to his show, which often features more mainstream music including a handful of tunes from the 60s and 70s. For March 8, I decided this needed to change. I pieced together quite the show for the first two [...]
![[Listen] Prairie Dance Club- Pretty Things EP](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4824503_lg.jpg)
by Tiana Feng This easy Sunday listening is brought to you by random Bandcamp stumbling. The Vancouver band has in the past found their music in America's Next Top Model, and 16 and Pregnant. It's no surprise since they have the type of folk music that grabs at heart strings by arrangement alone. Pretty Things by Prairie Dance Club
If theft is inevitable, might as well steal from the best (I suppose). At least in this case outright song thievery produced two completely ass whipping records. My love of the Pretty Things goes DEEP, as their earlier speed fuelled r&b singles rank at the upper echelon of the British Invasion, and the later 60's pschedelicized version of the band that created the outstanding SF Sorrow , Parachute , and unreleased for many years sessions with rich Frenchman Phillippe De Barge (an album that sounds terrible on paper [...]

"The Pretty Things are an English rock and roll band from London, who originally formed in 1963. They took their name from Bo Diddley's 1955 song "Pretty Thing". Their most commercially successful period was the mid 1960s, although they continue to perform to this day. David Bowie covered two of their songs on his album Pin Ups."
