Speaking of big-haired blondes1, this is fun. Reminds me of watching Hee-Haw with my dad.
Video
Jewels and Niles
This is the most 1985 thing ever. I remember when this video came on MTV 10 times a day. If you’re wondering why Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito and Michael Douglas are, anomalously, backup singers, the song was in the movie the Jewel of the Nile; it’s a promo for that film.
You know, at the time, I never really saw the appeal of Kathleen Turner. The big-haired blonde look is just not my thing. But she has a very fun personality in that video and looks quite nice in that white tux, I have to admit.
This feels like 1985 felt. Understandably. But it’s more “of the era” than most. It has the casual zaniness. The sense of fun that’s missing now. And no Instagram face. I wouldn’t go back; around 1985 is when my life started to get extremely shitty. But it feels like such a foreign land now.
Phoebe Bridgers – I Know The End (Live)
A more goth Phoebe Bridgers. ✅
A rare blonde goth Phoebe Bridgers. 🤩
Great performance of an amazing song. 🎉
One camera, no cuts, flawless cinematography in challenging, changing conditions. 🎥
Folks, we have a complete win here tonight. 🏆
(That’s not a super-long mic cord. It’s a long-range wireless setup and the cord is connected to a sending unit that’s at her back. Had to be a big one to get wireless to go to that far.)
Jaguar Glass – Zombie Ants
A very small artist with a cool sound.
Anna of the North – I Don’t Know What You See In Me
This cover is a lot better than the Belle & Sebastian original.
Snocaps – Coast
Nice song. I thought the woman with long hair (I guess they are twins?) was Katie Crutchfield when I first saw her at that low res.
Update: That is Katie Crutchfield! Doesn’t sound like her normal singing voice though.
ROZA – Tiens L’Océan
Chanson simple et fun. Et putain, ses cheveux ! Trop beaux, mais j’ai pas envie d’imaginer la galère pour entretenir ça.
Bec
This film is how you use Rebecca Ferguson. Overall, Dr. Sleep was only ok. However, Rebecca as Rose the Hat…très magnifique. Also, “Rose the Hat” is one of the best character names ever.
As I noted about the weirdo in Les chambres rouges, it’s hard for a beautiful woman to read as creepy. Our girl Rebecca has no problem with this, though. She’s demented and ghoulish and a real scumbag.
Erin LeCount – MACHINE GHOST
What a great pop song!
Kill flora – A Veces
Es una tragedia que esta excelente banda no sea más conocida. Gran canción.
Joaquina – carta (a mí)
Me gusta cómo Joaquina suele llevar tela trenzada en el cabello, o envuelta alrededor. Es un estilo muy lindo.
June Turns Black – Wavebreaker
Such a great song. I love how Rachel belts. She has the best rock scream voice I have ever heard, and that’s one reason why “Wavebreaker” is one of my favorite songs I’ve found in the last year.
Chilli Beans. – School
Fun song, and the music video genre of “attractive Japanese women goofing around” is one I can certainly get behind.
Joaquina – los 41
¡Eso sí es pop del bueno! Me flipa cuando se pone a mover el pelazo por todos lados. Y lo de fumarse una piruleta…me mató de risa.
La rappresentante di lista – E la luna bussò
È una buona canzone. Il mio italiano non è ancora molto fluente. Penso che più canzoni dovrebbero avere una sezione fiati.
