What has caught the ear of the Texperts this week (8th March)
Sweet, sweet music…
David Bowie- The Laughing Gnome: to quote Bridget “I don’t know the taxonomy of it; it’s just a mental scar”.
REO Speedwagon-Keep On Lovin’ You: Thom thinks that this might be the worst video. Ever.
The Ting Tings- Great DJ: Lots of hype around them, but this single- released last week- shows there might be something to it.
Nightmares on Wax- Les Nuits: A classic cut from their Carboot Soul album.
Black Francis- I Sent Away: The lead single from Frank Black’s new Svn Fngrs EP. He is coming up for 25 years in the business, and writing some of the best songs of his career. Now, for a new Pixies album…
Be Your Own Pet- The Kelly Affair: New single from BYOP, backed with the double A-side of “Black Hole”. Jemina’s voice is stronger than on their earlier offerings.
Gallows featuring Lethal Bizzle- Staring at the Rude Boys/Bois: It might be a lazy comparison, but you can’t help thinking that this is like a British take on the Aerosmith/Run DMC collaboration. Only Thom thinks this is better.
Midfield General- Disco Sirens: The perfect Friday night toon.
Bright Eyes- When The President Talks To God: As the US Election starts hotting up, what better way to celebrate than with Conor Oberst’s censorship defying performance on Jay Leno.
Bis- Eurodisco: A bit of a classic from 1998 from the Glasgow legends.
