Less Talk, More Music: Pet Shop Boys on “Live with Regis and Kelly”

November 20, 2007 /

Originally, I’d planned to post the Boys’ 1991 appearance on “The Tonight Show,” when, in mid-performance, Chris Lowe (a.k.a. the one who doesn’t sing) got pissed off about not getting enough camera time and left the stage. Yikes. Tantrum much? Anyway, the performance in question got yanked from YouTube before I could get it onto ESDMusic, so instead I’ve opted to spotlight the guys in a more recent…and more unlikely…appearance.

I’m always impressed with Regis Philbin as a talk show host; whether he really knows what he’s talking about or not, he always has that offhanded casual manner when he’s introducing someone that convinces you that he might actually be a fan of the person he’s getting ready to bring to the stage. Somehow, I suspect the amount of PSB in his CD collection is lacking…though perhaps not as much as it’s lacking from Kelly Ripa’s, since she seems to have no idea that they’ve done anything since “West End Girls”…but neither host’s knowledge (of lack thereof) of the duo affect this lovely piano-driven version of one of the guys’ sweetest and most sentimental songs.

Video Vault – Paul McCartney, “Pretty Little Head”

November 20, 2007 /

I’m not the only one on the Bullz-Eye staff who loves Paul McCartney’s oft-maligned Press to Play album, but what I don’t know is if I’m the last one to see the video for one of its songs, “Pretty Little Head.” Macca was all over the place on this album, stylistically speaking, and this particular track really doesn’t sound like anything else he’s ever done; even more unique, however, is the video mix of the song, which ups the ante and makes it way more single-worthy than it did on the album. (If anyone knows where I can find a copy of this version, let me know!)

As to the video, it’s actually pretty damned impressive…or, at least, it would’ve been considered such in the ’80s, when it was originally made and released. I still can’t believe I’d never seen it until I picked up the new McCartney DVD set.

Less Talk, More Music: Midnight Oil on “Thicke of the Night”

November 13, 2007 /

I saw Midnight Oil in concert twice before they called it a day – once at the Boathouse, touring behind Diesel and Dust, the other at Norfolk Scope, touring behind Blue Sky Mining (with Hunters and Collectors as their openers!) – but until I saw this clip, I’d somehow managed to forget just how damned disconcerting Peter Garrett was to watch on stage. At that Boathouse show, I stayed way at the back of the venue, mostly because he scared the shit out of me!

By the way, this is officially the first time I’ve ever seen any portion of an episode of Alan Thicke’s short-lived late-night talk show. Wow, he was as cheesy as an ’80s sitcom dad even then; no wonder it was short-lived.
