Today's Earworm

[Satchmo Distel]

A Day In The Life with orchestra - The Beatles (arr. Sam Haug)

[Nocturnal Submission]

Go With The Flow - QotSA:

"A new royal family, a wild nobility...."

Adam and the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier

Interpol, "Evil" When they first started to gain some traction, it seemed like every music critic was all over the Joy Division comparison, which makes sense. But I also hear a lot of Human League in the vocals and melodies. Either way, a band I dig, but I also like Joy Division and Human League.

Have to say that I'm absolutely loving this track, Daniel, creepy video notwithstanding. Any similar recommendations?

Listening to Interpol an album at a time is good. But longer mixes start to wear thin because the band doesn't change. But I dig this band. So check out all of their records. ( https://www.discogs.com/artist/71725-Interpol )

The first record from XX has a very similar vibe ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFq6...-kRWzi3Lgew99E )

I shared links to Product KF in the post-punk thread. Their sound is a bit darker (very Joy Division) but I really like their two tapes: https://p-kf.bandcamp.com/album/product-kf

Yeah Yeah Yeahs came up around the same time as Interpol in New York. I would check out this record ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...2093FF6A2446E8 )

Hopefully something in this list will speak to you, NS.

[Nocturnal Submission]

Excellent. Many thanks.

[danielmak]

Excellent. Many thanks.

I realized after posting those that your Queens of the Stoneage post above has some overlap with Interpol: darker, driving, alternative rock. I shared this earworm in the past; it's a recurring earworm for me and perhaps more fitting than most of what I already recommended since I focused a bit more on the darker sounds of Interpol.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Madness - The Prince

[danielmak]

TV on the Radio, "Staring at the Sun"

[Toby Gymshorts]

Roots Manuva - Swords in the Dirt

[Toby Gymshorts]

All day. Not complaining. Man, Randy Rhoads was fucking cool.

Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train

Also, I love the animation. Quentin Blake on whatever Ozzy felt like giving him. Fantastic.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Continuing the Ozzy theme...

Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

[danielmak]

This one is as much of an eyeworm as an earworm. Midland's "Burn Out" has a sound that slots into a wave of honky tonk country music that was starting to become very big business (Clint Black, Alan Jackson). The video is excellent: one long shot and an homage to the film, Urban Cowboy.

[danielmak]

Excellent. Many thanks.

Oh and one more that is really three more. Dan Boeckner has been involved with a variety of projects that have a similar energy to Interpol but less post-punk vocal style.

His first band, which recently reformed is Wolf Parade (guitars on this one are a little noodly):

Then he had a band with his ex-wife or girlfriend.

Handsome Furs also has a really good song called What About Us but the video is NSFW so I won't post that here.


And he has a side project called Divine Fits with Britt Daniel (singer for Spoon) and some other guys. Britt seems to sing on most of the tracks:

Thanks, again. I'll report back when I've had a chance to listen to the linked material.

[Guy Profumo]

After hearing the Donald bought broadcast rights for Macho Man, it's Tu Pi Ne Da

[Sean of the Shed]

Had this for three days now

Roxy Music - Do The Strand

[Toby Gymshorts]

Anthrax - Armed and Dangerous

[Amor de Cosmos]

Because some were throwing shade on Jackie DeShannon's version of Bette Davis Eyes, it brought her to mind, and not for the first time either. She was real good, so good she opened for The Beatles on their first US tour. Here's why:

[Toby Gymshorts]

HMHB - Mathematically Safe

[Toby Gymshorts]

For some reason...

The Legendary Stardust Cowboy - Paralyzed

[Amor de Cosmos]

Get Me To The World On Time. Early psychedelia with The Electric Prunes and the Bigsby Wiggle Stick.

[Amor de Cosmos]

And 1966 proto-garage-punk from Music Machine. Note the single glove on each band member. Eat your heart out Michael.

[Toby Gymshorts]

N*E*R*D - Rock Star

[Benjm]

I've got Status Quo's What You're Proposing, thanks to wingco's Biden foreign policy thread, and it is properly stuck in there.
