Less Talk, More Music: Morrissey on “Not the Jack Docherty Show”

January 15, 2008 /

Continuing with the recurring theme of posting clips from shows I’m barely familiar with myself, we bring you Morrissey performing the underrated single, “Alma Matters” (from the equally-underrated album, Maladjusted), on something called “Not the Jack Docherty Show.” The most I know about Mr. Docherty and his program is that it served as a springboard for one Graham Norton to become a household name in Great Britain, but according to his Wikipedia entry, he also caused quite a star by hosting the 2000 BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards and opening the night by revealing the ending of “The Sixth Sense.”

Nice one. Bet that went down like gangbusters.

Deep Cuts – Paul McCartney

January 10, 2008 /

If you’re Paul McCartney, you’ve had a lot of albums and singles released under your name. Many of these have been worldwide hits, no doubt. But you’ve also found the time to put things out that weren’t released as singles or just became little bits of treasure to certain circles of fans. If you’re Paul McCartney, you can continue to do these types of things, as you have tons of money and at this point in your career it doesn’t matter at all if you get back on the charts. Your fans are there and they will embrace something of yours out there somewhere. Luckily, though, you happen to have some tasty non-chart topping album cuts that are worth discussing. If you’re Paul McCartney, we’re going to be discussing those bits right now. If you’re not, just read, learn, and enjoy it all just as well. As Clint Harrigan (whoever the hell that was) said in the liner notes on the back of the first Wings album, “Can you dig it?”

Check out the full run of Macca’s Deep Cuts after the jump.

Video Vault – The New Pornographers, “Your Daddy Don’t Know”

January 9, 2008 /

I’ve been going through this really weird musical phase lately, where I’m positively lapping up awesomely cheesy AOR from the ’70s and ’80s. After posing a question to the Audities list – the home of insanely great pop – about some of the best bands in the genre and being pitched recommendations for bands like Shooting Star, Tycoon, and others, it was brought to my attention that the New Pornographers did a cover of a song called “Your Daddy Don’t Know,” by the Canadian AOR band known as Toronto. (Geez, would you have guessed they were Canadian if I hadn’t told you?) I don’t know if the rest of Toronto’s oeuvre is as good as this song, but as long as it’s as least as good as the outfits the Pornographers are sporting here, I sense a best-of purchase is in my future…

Oh, and before you ask, no, I don’t know where you can actually purchase this cover, but I can tell you that it’s on the soundtrack to a Canadian movie called “FUBAR.” The soundtrack itself isn’t on Amazon, but given that it also features Sloan doing Rush’s “In the Mood,” Treble Charger doing April Wine’s “Roller,” and Chixdiggit taking on “The Kid Is Hot Tonight,” I’m half-tempted to click on the below photo and order a copy of the DVD. I mean, if that’s the only way I can hear the tunes, then so be it, y’know…?
