Guilty Pleasures: Movies/Music

For some reason, this song/video  has resurrected itself to become a recent obsession with me.
Strange coincidence that this airport-themed video was shot at WTC. Also, notice the theme of keys being twirled by the various women.
The blonde, especially, has such a star quality on camera.

Saw them at Day For Night, during their set a rainy cold front came in and dropped the temperature about 30º. I was in shorts and had to walk to the light rail in the freezing rain.

This has seeped back into my consciousness. The rhythm reminds me of Pet Shop Boys "Rent" speeded up, and the chorus (especially the way he sings  'forever') puts me in mind of Bowie. 

Spoiler

That was a pretty epic set. My buddy and I were also inappropriately dressed for the weather and had 1.) ridden our bikes to DFN from the East End 2.) agreed to meet our girlfriends (now wives) at Anvil after the show so we hauled down Milam as quickly as we could to both stay warm and minimize how long we were out in the cold. Good times.

Haven't visited my brother in Santa Cruz in a while but he used to invite me for a weekend of music. We would catch Lovefest and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in San Francisco on the same weekend, it was a lot of fun.  We went to Amoeba Records and bought lots of music. One artist he turned me on to was Lee Scratch Perry

According to ResidentMich on YouTube...

"I used to DJ in a club at the end of the 80's and 90's and the amount of mixed reactions was immense. No other tune had more people wanting to know what it was, although it did quite clear the dance floor apart from total bohemians. Great stuff!!!!!"

David Hoffman, a NYC documentary film maker has a number of awesome videos he filmed in 16mm in the 1960's while traveling around Appalachia with Bascom Lunsford, a North Carolina lawyer who spent a lot of time documenting what is now called "old time" music. Here's one of the videos

This single is dedicated to the women of Iran. May you never forget your rich and incredible history, which echoes the names of countless female warriors, healers, scientists, artists, scholars, architects, politicians, innovators, pioneers, athletes, rulers, and revolutionaries. Apranik is just one of those names. Yet its mere mention, even through the most delicate of whispers :ph34r:

I've seen Junior Brown at many venues in Houston and at the Continental Club in Austin, always a fun concert.

 

That's a great song, along with My Wife Thinks You're Dead.

Built To Spill was at one time my favorite band. I saw them at the old Engine Room and flew up to Providence, Rhode Island to see them. I had vacation to burn and was going to see them on tour in New York City but when I looked up the prices for hotels I decided to see them in Providence instead. Southwest Airlines had just started flying there non stop and had a sale on tickets plus hotels were a lot cheaper. Beautiful city in the downtown area.
