The Sundays Triple
Often (well, as often as I remember to update this site) when I’m trying to think of a subject for the very nearly regular music video triple posting I’ll think of one thing which makes me think of something else leading to something else, something else, something else, something barely related, and so on. Today, I thought to myself: “I wonder what subject for the music triple I can come up with on this fine-looking Sunday.” “Often” does not mean “always”. The Sundays – Summertime The Sundays – Here’s Where The Story Ends The Sundays – Can’t Be...
Girls Aloud Triple
Seven years ago (holy heck! Seven? Holy. Heck.) I wrote about Girls Aloud in what turned out to be quite a popular post. Since then much has happened (well, it would as that was seven years ago (seven!)) in the lives of Nadine, Cheryl, Kimberley, Sarah, and Nicola, although you’d be hard pressed to remember any of it other than the Cheryl stuff. I certainly can’t. What I do know, though, is that Girls Aloud are reforming for one of those album releases and mini tours that a lot of bands do when they’re a bit down on their luck after splitting to go their own way. No blame is attached to that statement. It’s what bands do. If I were a girl in Girls Aloud (probably Nicola because she’s pale and strange and I can respect that) it’s what I’d do. I’m not going to write about Girls Aloud now though because I don’t tend to write much on the site these days. However, I do try to keep the site ticking over with content occasionally and one of the ways I do this is through the power of crappy, formulaic updates such as three music videos on a theme. Girls Aloud? Three music videos on a theme? What could possibly be coming next? You’ll never guess. Seven years! Seven! Girls Aloud – Something New Their latest track, with hints of that LMFAO/PSY that’s popular with the kids these days. Girls Aloud – Long Hot Summer I grudgingly admit that this is my favourite Girls Aloud track. Yes, that’s right: I have a favourite Girls Aloud track. I never thought that happen. Or that I’d tell anyone. Girls Aloud – Something Kinda Ooooh It’s the video with the sexy hopping dance in it. Okay, it’s got a hopping dance in...
Witchcraft Triple
My sister-in-law has popped over from the states for a week and bit to visit (we’re returning the favour next month) and decided to bring an early anniversary present with her: candle holders in the form of a skeleton groom and bride. We are Tim Burton fans but that’s not the reason for the present; our wedding anniversary is actually Halloween. Anyway, that got me thinking about spooky things and that led to this theme for this weekend’s trio of music videos; the macabre, the scary, the decidedly witchy. The Rattles – The Witch I only discovered this track a couple of months ago; I can’t stop playing it. Wonderful production and pschedelic overtones. The Cult – The Witch I bought a CD of the Cult’s greatest hits many years ago from a second hand music store. I know it’s not a fascinating anecdote but I thought I’d share anyway. Kate Bush – Waking The Witch Fan-created video for a song not released (well, it was from the Ninth Wave, the second side of the Hounds of Love album (this is back when music had sides you crazy kids these days with your NB3s and your iTracks), so didn’t have much of a chance); it took me a while to get into the Ninth Wave but I love its concept and this is my second favourite track from...
Dance Triple
A weekend without a trio of music videos would be, well, pretty typical for most weekends. But occasionally I remember. And today I also remembered first starting to appreciate dance music. Appreciate may be too big a word. Tolerate is better. I’d always been one of those “agh, that’s not real music” sorts of people but things started to change when I got my first NoiseTracker program for the Amiga and realised that I too could produce music that was repetitive and not very good. That’s the sort of thing that makes you start to defend the tripe that appeared on TV in and charts. And copy it when possible. Copy, and improve. Only replace “improve” with that word that means the opposite of “improve”. I’m waffling when I could be putting up three music videos from that golden age of dance music: the early 1990s. Nightcrawlers – Push The Feeling On I had a bit of a thing for the redhead. I’m sure I wasn’t alone. Livin’ Joy – Dreamer Bomb The Bass – Bug Powder...
Disco Triple
One of my favourite types of music and I haven’t updated the site with a random trio of videos celebrating the genre? Why, that’s the sort of thing that needs to be addressed right now! Sylvester – You Make Me Feel Mighty Real (with a few seconds of Patrick Hernandez at the start) Andrea True Connection – More, More, More The Trammps – Disco...
Death Metal Triple
So, here are my thought processes: I should update the site with something. It’s the weekend; I should update the site with a trio of music videos. I need to think of a topic. Death metal! Why did I just think of death metal? Ah, who cares? I’ll do a trio of death metal music videos. I don’t know any death metal bands (*). Hello Wikipedia! The Amenta – Vermin Obituary – The End Complete Krisiun – Murderer (*) Not strictly true. I own one of the albums from one of the bands featured here. And I like...
