Another one for Jilli, rare Lene Lovich doing "Mata Hari" onstage. Very cupcake goth.
Also? Nina Hagen doing "Ziggy Stardust"
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Cool! Stereolab plays "Les Ypres Sound" on Jools Live.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm having one of those "somene else has heard of her???" moments.
My brother's friend picked up a record (all in German) in the import section because it had a cool cover. Her cover of White Punks on Dope has been a party fixture since then.

In this thread, you can be assured that "someone else" has heard of pretty much anyone you can imagine. Except the Fire Engines.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Y'know, I don't know if I mentioned it, but I was surprised when I figured out that the Fire Engines were one of the non-Mekons/non-Gang of Four bands on the Fast Product compilation from 1979. Which means I've had some of their songs in my collection forever, but just didn't realize it.
And hey! Dig the Stereolab clip.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just got back from the Sgt. Pepper tribute at the Hollywood Bowl with the orchestra and Cheap Trick plus many cool guests. GREAT fun and loads of interesting performers. They did a range of Beatle's songs in the first half, and then performed the whole Sgt. Pepper album in the second. Highlights: Joan Osborne kicking major ass on "Lady Madonna," Aimee Mann singing "Lovely Rita," The lead singer from Ministry wailing on "She's So Heavy," the conductor coming out for the second half of the program in a Cheap Trick t-shirt, and Ian Ball (from Gomez), who was adorable, singing "When I'm 64". Zander was in really great voice all evening and of course Rick Nielsen was amazing on guitar. A very cool night!

He's a very chameleonic singer. Sort of underrated because he can absolutely wail like Roger Daltry, but he can sell Nielsen's snarky lyrics. He can also get a very Beatleseque Lennon or McCartney voice as necessary.

Awesome, Robin! I've been listening to plugs for that concert for weeks, and thought it sounded fun. And the guests sound wonderful. Plus, you reminded me that I really need to pick up some Gomez.
