No-one's going to take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive...

Holy shitballs!  That Dream Academy cover gave me the chills!  Thanks, Stretch!

And thanks too for the Cowboy Junkies post.  I lusted big time for Margo in those days.....glad I finally saw them live after many many years.  The Sun Comes Up It's Tuesday Morning video is wonderful too (my favorite song by them, followed closely by 'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel; two great noir-like narratives).

Kid Charlemagne:
 

 

I first heard this almost exactly 45 years ago in 1980, and it blew my tiny mind!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carina Messier - Nowhere And No When.  Lovely dream-pop with a tiny Psych injection.  The band behind her (some?  all?) are members of The Lost Patrol, a band an acquaintance manages/managed.

This was a weird collaboration, but ultimately I think it works.

 

Speaking of collabs...

Lucy Dacus - Limerence 

 

Unholy carp, that hits hard.  I don't usually listen to lyrics, but because of the title was intrigued enough, and ... I mean...just...

Limerence was a very important word to me in the late 90's, as learning of its existence helped me to get over a girl.  Learning there was a word for what I was feeling let me know that I wasn't alone in feeling it.  

 

 

So this dropped yesterday, I am not sure there is a new album in the works or just this track. I am not sold on it, not bad, but it also does not do much for me at all. But I thought I would share regardless. 

Yarbrough & Peoples - Don't Stop the Music

 

Soccer Mommy does Pavement 

 

Shirley & Company - Shame, Shame, Shame 

 

Anyone remember this little gem. Extra poignant today but also distracted by how hot Lita Ford is...
