An Endless Song

broderic on February 16, 2010

The ending to “Linda! Linda! Linda!” Exactly like “Lost My Music” from Live Alive. Another cover of The Blue Hearts. This one is “An Endless Song,” “Owaranai Uta.”

It’ll keep going and rocking in your head all week long…

It came out of nowhere

They reissued The Screaming Blue Messiah first two albums, Gun Shy and Bikini Red. If you need ’em, get ’em. I already have ’em. I wish I can get their third, Totally Religious. My brother’s got it store somewhere in his home. I was over there and he was trying to pawn off some mp3z his friend downloaded off the net and gave to him. Nope. I want all original pressings. Just for completeness sake.

As they’re kissing their hellos

That DNA remix of Suzanne Vega’s Tom’s Diner is about twenty years old. I heard it on the drive home Monday and was instantly transported back. That time of my life. So cherished. The winter of 1990. So fun. I can recall it like yesterday. The sights and sounds of The U, SRC, 4th floor with the guys. And that winter.

I am thinking of your voice…

The Russians Are Coming

I remember this old BBC show, “The Secret Life of Machines.” This was used as its theme song. Never new the name of the Dave Brubeck tune and that this was the reggae version.

Plenty cool to this version. Plenty cool.

Yes, it’s ska again. I love it.

If you can find some more ska, please post it in the comments or over on your blog.

Spinning Vinyl

I’m amazed at the number of youtube videos showing records spinning around and around and around. Best use of the internet ever!

Here’s a classic that I’m sure I’ve already posted, but need to post again because I recently heard this at Starbucks. The next song after it was a rocking dance hall tune of the old school 80s variety. I really wanted to know who sang the dance hall tune, but sadly they never did implement that Starbucks music service via iTunes-iPhone. When the hell did that not show up?

Linda! Linda! Linda!

Randomly flicking around youtube looking at people play K-ON! or ENOZ. Run into the comparison of Live Alive with the movie Linda! Linda! Linda! Yes. It’s the same. Song kind of rocks. It’s a cover of a song from the premiere Japanese punk band, The Blue Hearts. They’re the Japanese Clash! Look at the structure of the song. The use of Spanish — dead give away that they want to be The Clash.

Funny things you run into late night.

Tis the season!
