Flying Lizards : Money (That's What I Want) [ purchase ] The rules of our game this week are to post the first song that comes to mind based on the previous post. Kkafa's post made me think of Beatles remakes, and Money (That's What I Want) immediately came to mind. It's not a pure Beatles remake, because the Beatles were themselves covering the song. The original version was by Barrett Strong, and it was the first single released by the Motown label, in 1959. By the time we [...]
"You moved in slow degrees/A sudden memory/You're a Leonard Cohen song" - Better Than Ezra, "Under You" "But I was caught, like a fleeting thought / Stuck inside Leonard Cohen's mind" - Mercury Rev, "A Drop In Time" "Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld / So I can sigh eternally" - Nirvana, "Pennyroyal Tea" It's almost unbelievable now to think that we almost never heard Leonard Cohen , the singer. A well-regarded poet from the late [...]

The next time someone tries to sell you a rare copy of a Flying Lizards CD for $200, you just spit right in their mouth, mister, and let them know you have already have a dealer for that particular drug. In late 2010, RPM Records became a hero to New Wave record collectors everywhere by issuing a 2-CD set of the self-titled debut album by The Flying Lizards , as well as the much sought-after follow-up [...]

Whether you're a tri-corner hat wearing Teabagger who thinks taxes are the work of the devil, a bleeding heart tree-hugging Lefty who believes The Man will take care of everything, or a corporate cocksucking conservative who believes GE deserves a $3.2 billion tax refund despite raking in more than $14 million in profit, today [...]
To be listened to in conjunction with White Trash's 'I Still Don't Love You' (see ABON 0161 ). The Flying Lizard's 1978 masterpiece is as clever and witty and musically original and fresh as the White Trash track. But what White Trash manage to do, which the Flying Lizards never quite did, is to do all that whilst creating something that is also genuinely, credibly, danceable. And to slightly rub salt in the Lizards' wounds, anyone who spent the early 80s listening to the Lizards' truly wonderful, mutant but ultimately not-very-danceable-really music - including 'Money' but also even better tracks like, 'TV' and 'Sex [...]
The art of the cover version as stripped down reconstruction. In which stiff upper lip English public school takes on Atlanta GA's funkiest and comes home with a surprising away point. In fact, the Flying Lizards were most famous for their 1979 chart hit cover of 'Money (That's What I Want)', dismantled and then reassembled in similar robotic fashion to 'Sex Machine'. But it's the much less famous and far more difficult to find, James Brown cover that demonstrates the art of the Flying Lizards cover version at its best. [...]

Dear OSS, It's beautiful and I've got two very dear friends in town. Thus, I'm going to post a few tracks today and be done for the week. I hope you can forgive me. My girlfriend is bagging disgusting dead leaves in our backyard and I'm typing this! See how dedicated I am! This is a classic James Brown funk song from the 70s. It's pretty self explanatory. It's about being a sex machine. Here, also, is an amazing cover by the British post punk outfit The Flying Lizards (best known for [...]
Saturday, February 13th @ Slowdown Another V Day another mix tape!

I had a bit of an iPod epiphany the other day. 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' queued itself up in shuffle mode, and man if it didn't reek of being outdated, moldy, and so mired in one era that I shuffled right on past it only to be followed byyyy: A Flock of Seagulls' 'I Ran.' Which sounded bloody brilliant in comparison. I hear some of you snobs guffawing out there but it's true—Nirvana's a dead soldier and the Flock reeked of morning at the bakery: all warm and sugary. But that can't be right, [...]

New old sounds Normally EMJ is dedicated to posting on new music, admittedly we do trip back in time a bit every now and then, but after some extensive browsing today I found so many great old gems I'd never heard/heard of before I thought it'd be interesting to share some with my fellow music lovers. Admittedly most of these were found on the eternally amazing WFMU's website, from one of their DJ's compilations posted in 2006, called Obey The New Wave: 1980 and all [...]

Well this is just horrible, I have only been posting once or twice a month. Not very blogger of me is it. I'll use the excuse that I have been working very hard trying to make my sales quota and getting my bonuses. ( I really am just a lazy bugger and have been downloading audio books (mp3) like crazy. I do have a moral dilemma about this, I am only downloading copies of books that I already [...]
Throughout 1979 and 1980 Thomas Dolby had gained experience touring with a number of bands doing sound, had recorded with Bruce Woolley & the Camera Club and even recorded his own single, "Urges"/"Leipzig", with the help of Andy Partridge. Following on a spell with the short-lived Fallout Club, he decided, at the start of 1981, to put together his own band. First up was his friend and bassist Matt Seligman, who had played alongside Dolby in both the Fallout Club and Camera Club. (What's up with all these clubs anyway?) Dolby went along to a gig at the [...]
