I am not a big fan of Foreigner but I have to say that my fascination
with Def Leppard has done nothing but intensify in recent weeks,
leading me to start incorporating Mutt Lange production techniques
into new material. Who needs to rip off Autechre when there are bands
like Def Leppard? In all seriousness I cannot listen to "Photograph"
too many times.
Also in heavy rotation on my G4's iTunes:
Air Supply - "Even the Nights are Better": I'm not sure but I think
that "Caught Between the Moon and New York City" and this song are
long lost twins separated at birth.
The Seekers - "Georgie Girl" and The Mamas and The Papas - "Good
Morning Starshine": I think that psychedelic hippie pop never got any
better than those two cuts.
Barry Manilow - "Oh Mandy": Oh holy fucking shit is more like it.
This song is a tear-jerker. Barry Manilow is a God. Many people do
not know he wrote the "Like A Good Neighbor State Farm Is There" song.
Laibach - "The Final Countdown": Yes. It is Laibach covering
Europe. Yes. It is as amazing as you think it could be. The first time
I heard the choir drop in on the chorus, I felt like something broke
inside of me. I will never be the same.
Sheriff - "When I'm With You": With all these contemporary bands
ripping off the sounds of the '80s, you know it's only a matter of
time before the early 90's pre-Nirvana ballad rock starts getting
touched. When that time comes, I hope somebody remembers Sheriff.
Tears for Fears - "Head Over Heels": I saw Donnie Darko and this song
reminded me of when pop music was my only Truth.
Toto - "Africa" and "Rosanna": It is amazing to me that the same band
that wrote these two songs also wrote the rest of Toto IV. What a
terrible album, bookended by the two greatest songs of 1982. Toto
also co-wrote and played several of the songs on Michael Jackson's
"Thriller." Go check if you don't believe me.
The Art of Noise - "Paranoimia", Yello - "Oh Yeah", MARRS - "Pump up
the Volume", Fine Young Cannibals - "Good Thing": Every time I
deejayed a school dance in college, these 12"s were played.
Unknown Indian Artists - "Knight Rider Bhangra": I don't know where
this song came from or why, all I know is some Hindus be loving them
some Knight Rider.
