anyone know/like this canadian band?

That's funny. I just found one of their albums in a collection someone gave me & it's been sitting out for weeks & I still haven't listened to it. Gonna go do that now.

 

[PhillyDave]

The Manics, as those in the know say

 

[d gray]

my "like" is for the cover painting - jenny saville - amazing british figure painter.

don't know the band though. what kind of music do they make?

 

[PhillyDave]

rock n roll, a little punkish, a little glam

 

[d gray]

wow - i just realised i could actually just listen to it and not have to ask a stupid question.

rewatched the "no direction home" doc the other night - my god that guy was a supernova! what he
accomplished by his early 20's is mindboggling. and the way his songs just got better and better.

i was stunned and i'd already seen it!

Shrapnel's Combat Love was one of the greatest singles of 1979.

I regret posting this, it's been earworming me ever since.

I don't know if that's due to some inherent catchiness, or just because I listened to it 500 times when I was in my 20s.

a tribute album to T Rex is coming out

I see Hal Wilner. Must be his last project?

I'm probably gonna give Sandinista! a second listen (I first got around to listening to it completely like three months ago). That record left me overwhelmed from the amount of songs and the variety in styles, but something in me wants to listen to it again. However, this song stuck to me like no other from The Clash.

tribute album to T Rex

It's always such a beautiful mircale how Nick Cave turns every song he covers into a ballad of hurt and grief.

A Jacques Brel song

A friend of mine, Pili aka Phillipe Grassal, once acted as Jacques Brel in a sort of musical theatre play.
A (very short) glimpse into his version of "Ne me quitte pas" is in the trailer-video at 0:53.


Brel-fans will recognize other songs as well.

I can’t seem to be able to play it ?

I can’t seem to be able to play it

Strange. It's simply on youtube, set to public, no copyright-infringements known.

Do others here have the same problem?

 

[d gray]

played for me. this tune always makes me lol -

 

[Black Swan]

Sorry, Roni! For some reason, now it works! Good voice. Love that song. Brel is one of my favorite with Léo Ferré. Geniuses!

I painted Madame George YEARS ago when I was in my twenties and had it in a hallway leading to my apartment in Vancouver. It stayed there for 3 years and then disappeared. Always loved Van.
