'Never Leave Me'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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 Indestructible Beat of Soweto
An excellent album. (Teppy, one of the songs on that African music mix I made for you is from this album.) Yesterday I took my brother out to dinner, and we went CD-shopping afterwards. I was very pleased to find King Sunny Ade: Best of the Classic Years for only $7.50. woo!

(a) the drummer is working very hard during this song, and (b) the melody is carried by the bass. Also, what the hell is Ian Curtis doing with a garage-rock style Voxx guitar?).
Hooky was always the melodic engine of the band. There's a great bit on the fadeout of one of their tracks where he just starts playing keep on keeping on . And that guitar is the Iconic Curtis Guitar.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Supposedly Joy Division pioneered the use of bass carrying the melody. I read that it was because JD shared rehersal space with another band. The only way that the bass player could hear himself play over the sound of the other band was to play way up on the fretboard, and that lead to him playing the melody on bass. This happened during the long period when they never played out, after they called themselves Warsaw.

Hi Paul.
Maybe I'm not remembering the story right....

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Isn't Anything is the only one of those albums I have much of an opinion on, and it's been stated forcefully by Jon & Jim.

And speaking - as we were - of sorta kinda goth bands of the turn of the '90s, Cranes have to be mentioned. IIRC, they sounded like a small scared child trapped in a room with Michael Gira. But in a good way.
And the mighty, never-forgotten Telescopes.

Cranes are cool. Has anyone mentioned Swans? I love their cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" as much as the original.
