Editions of You

Roxy Music – Editions of You

I love this video. What a piece of gold. Bryan Ferry doing his one-armed piano playing/dancing. Brian Eno in his feathered finery, for that alone this is well worth watching. I can’t remember which of my siblings was the first to bring home Roxy Music, it just seemed to always be there. I don’t think I knew they looked like that though.

In case you missed it, this blog began on tumblr, where I’m still posting, but a number of my friends feel out of place there so I decided to have a WordPress edition too. If you are on tumblr, I also reblog stuff I find interesting there but I don’t carry it over here as the formatting gets screwy. Thanks for reading, watching, and listening in either case!

Elephant Stone

The Stone Roses – Elephant Stone

Did you see the Coachella line up?! Whoa. I really hope they stream it again this year because I’m quite sure I can’t afford that. I’ve always been a little afraid of giant festival shows anyway. Too many people in various states of consciousness, port-a-potties, uncertain food, and then the bands you really want to see aren’t going to have the time to play as long a set as you would get if they were on their own. But I have to admit, that’s quite an impressive list of bands.

The Stone Roses. If someone invents a time machine, they’re one of the bands I’m going to go back and see, circa 1989/90.

All the Dark Horses

Trashcan Sinatras – All the Dark Horses

Frank Reader on a bicycle? Well, stop right there! The man has a voice that just melts me. Then there’s that incredibly adorable Scottish accent. Riding a bicycle no less. Sigh.

I was thinking about a different song of theirs, January’s Little Joke, which I often do as the new year gets underway, but I got sucked into that YouTube vortex and stumbled across this one instead. In these cold, dark winter months, I’ll take a sunny reminder like this any day of the week.
