Billytea, I keep forgetting to ask you, did you like the Absolute Beginners soundtrack?
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Who could dislike it? Bowie's and Ray Davies' best songs of the '80s? Ed Tudor-Pole? Slim Gaillard?

Not me--that was why I pimped it. I even like the Sade song, and I am not usually a fan of hers.

When did they release it?
"Dig it up" was on the Hoodoo Gurus' 1984 debut album Stoneage Romeos.

Dear lord, the new Fiery Furnaces is.... ambitious. Lots of long songs with multiple parts. And the lyrics are really dense too. It going to take a while to sink in. I'm headed to Western Mass this weekend. I'll have to make a copy to listen to on the way.

Ha! I just checked back and saw that Hayden used the same word to descibe them. A piano and a sandbox indeed.

OK, one more post. The new Polyphonic Spree is exactly what you'd expect -- The same hook heavy songs but with slightly better production that takes better advantage of the chorus of voices. And lots of theremin.
There's also a new Old 97s album, but I'm not familiar enough with their stuff to judge it. Uhhh... the first song sounds good.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I did! Thanks for that.

Hee. That makes sense to me. Did the Hoodoo Gurus actually make much of a splash in the States?

Damn. Glad he seems to be OK.

Compared to OZ? Not even close. They never got much past mid-sized clubs IIRC. I always felt they could have been bigger, but their US label, A&M, dropped them after the first album. The follow up, Mars Needs Guitars, which I still think is their best effort, ended up being released on a small independent here, and went nowhere as a result.
