Hania Rani.

A BBC found this to be music to help him through the lockdown, and ended up doing a profile on what was known of her. Lovely enough for me to get the album.

After Thoth mentioned Swing Out Sister in the Kill This Thread game, I decided it was time I finally listened to them.

Turns out I already knew at least one song of theirs! I'd always assumed it was Miami Sound Machine! LOL

Yay! Their music always works for me, no matter how long it's been since I've last heard them.

That first song was a big, cheesy load of yuck. I lasted about 40 seconds.

The second song has long been a favorite of mine, even out of a ton of Julian Cope songs that I love.

Some fun facts:

Cope changed the spelling from Trampoline to Trampolene as a homage to Chuck Berry's Maybelene (sp?) He wanted the song to sound like ZZ Top covering Chuck Berry.

Of the other musicians featured, bassist James Eller later joined The The, drummer Chris Whitten later joined Paul McCartney's Flowers era band (nice work if you can get it.) Lead guitarist Donald Skinner has a long and complex history with Cope dating back to the very start of Cope's solo career (for those not in the know, Cope had originally been the lead singer of the New Wave band Teardrop Explodes. Duran Duran considered TX the only serious threat to their ascension; they needn't have worried, because TX...well, imploded quickly.

The shooting of the video for Trampolene was not fun. Cope was trying to stay off drugs, but some bright spark snuck cocaine onto the set, and everyone copped an attitude.

Thanks for continuing the Cope motif, Thoth.

As long as 40 seconds? thothiac 5 concludes you were further away from the stop button than expected. smile

I do like some fluffy, care free French music.

But if breezy French moppets being towed around town in a bed isn't for you, then what about English ones?

Thoth, Supergrass was one of those groups that I wanted to like, that I tried to like, but in the end I just had to admit I don't like.

Maybe it was a generational thing, maybe also a North/South thing. I do like this tuneful bunch of scruffs, who were older and from the North. In fact, I listened to their album in its entirety just a few days ago.

I skipped past one of theirs just yesterday. It's invariably There She goes. Released and rereleased as their momentum sifted away and other bands, influenced by them, took different directions. I think in the end, even some of the La's got bored of it, and went off to form Cast.

I like Cast. They had a good first album and a string of good singles.

I think I'm also one of the few Americans who's even heard of Cast, let alone listened to them.

Since we're oop norf, here's something different from the above that comes from a Sunderland group called the Cornshed Sisters. Saccharine sentiment warning on lyrics. It was written during lockdown somewhere in Bonnie Scotchland. But I got a nice '80s feel from the music. Lovely and poppy.

Very cute song, and the intentionally primitive digital animation pushed all the right nostalgic buttons. Thanks, Thoth.

Gin Wigmore, unique voice, stunning arrangements.

Ivy Levan, some new stuff I found.

Got lost in some new swing and hillbilly rock stuff the other day.

Pokey Lafarge. Fuck Me Up is a great little throwback song.

Been on a John Cassettes movie kick lately, so I've been listening to this jam off the soundtrack to Faces:




Keep up with what I've been watching lately!
