It’s so sad that you can’t mention Kirsty MacColl without mentioning how she left us too soon, but it’s the truth, no matter how much it hurts. She was cute, sweet, and tough enough to kick your ass, with a wit to her lyrics and a never-ending supply of hooks to attach to them; watch this performance, where she’s introduced by a very young Mr. O’Brien, and smile as you grieve…
…and then go buy this album, so you can have your very own copy of the song.
Kevin DuBrow, lead singer of metal band uiet Riot, was found dead in Las Vegas of undetermined causes. The singer was 52 years old.
“I can’t even find the words to say,” Quiet Riot bandmate Frankie Banali said on his Web site. “Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend, Kevin DuBrow.”
I am surely dating myself by saying this, but I miss the days when bands like Minipop ruled modern rock radio. Shimmering, hypnotic dream-pop guitars supporting a female lead that didn’t have the strongest voice but had an alluring voice and something to say…ah, good times. I know very little about Minipop other than this fabulous, “Tonight, Tonight, Tonight”-style video, but the record is on its way to me, and I can’t wait to hear it.
Since everyone else is away today for the holidays around here, I’ve been posting some wacky stuff for anyone who might be stopping by after their turkey dinners. This is the last video thing I stumbled across. The first part is below. It’s an ongoing series by a YouTube member named “iamaphoney.” The series is called “Paul is Dead – The Rotten Apple” and each short “episode” takes a look into the whole Paul is Dead myth. These videos are entertaining, not becuase of all the stuff the Beatle fans already know about this tale, but just the way the clips are put together. Many of them can be downright disturbing at times – in a good way. So do check them all out. Once you watch a couple, you’ll be hooked, I promise.
Here’s to people who go so far as to play Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” backwards and find messages in every line of the song. God bless ’em.
