This song came up when I was driving our oldest somewhere the other day and I could literally see on her face the physical reaction she had to its dissonance. So naturally it's been on near constant repeat at home over the past week:

Special shout out to the gold robot who steals the show with that cool 'shuffling' move.

I absolutely love that album. Love it.

Still on the lookout for this vinyl. I did thrift a clean promo copy of All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes and White City, each for $5 this last weekend. Also, Billy Thorpe's Children of the Sun, for $5.

Still on the lookout for this vinyl.

You should have bought it in 1980 when it first came out, like I did.

One of my favorite videos of all time.

I tried showing it to our oldest daughter once a couple years ago and I think her exact quote was, "Dad, why do you like this? This is so dumb."

Kids are so uncultured.

Lurve me some Uriah Heep. Such an epic band.

Do you like this version ?

High school classmates of mine.

Dare I say, same studio? Yes. April Wine in 1980 and Rush in 1981. Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec, was partially destroyed by fire in 2017 and eventually torn down in 2020.

Been a week or two since I heard or even thought about this song:

Pink Floyd's Animals was released today.
Where were you ? I was a freshman in college.

I like the melancholy of this song and the harmony on the chorus.

I was in Mrs. Klobuchar's kindergarten class. No idea about Pink Floyd. That would change in a few years with Another Brick in the Wall.

Boy did this send me down a rabbit hole. Confirmed, for me at least, that the first version I hear makes all the difference. Had I heard the Elle King version, meh, who knows if I would ahve listened to it again. But Julie deGrazia's harmonies and stylings on Evan Honer's version are superb. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Talking Heads were correct, we're all spending our lives on autopilot

If only modern musical artists had both the powerful sense of moral clarity and sheer musical talent that Mister T displayed back in his prime. Those were heady days I can tell you. I can hear all the mothers on Cyburbia nodding in approval at the message here.

 

[SlaveToTheGrind]

^good message but the video element is highly questionable.

This video and song is awful. Since Rick James was involved, you know there was copious amounts of cocaine.

Haven't heard much from Rockwell since. It could be argued he'd have had no hit songs whatsoever but for the fact that daddy is Barry Gordy (of Motown fame) and could arrange to have Michael Jackson as his backup vocals.

What do the singers of these two songs have in common?

Don't know about that but do have a bit of interesting trivia. Murray Head's brother is Anthony Head, who plays Rupert Mannion in Ted Lasso.

48 years ago this week the Doobie Brothers took it to the streets at the Watts Community Center!



I just realized I also wore my Michael McDonald shirt today... it must have been fate!
