Music Thread (post a song)

"Bennie," yes. ... "Standing," not even close.


Mike Gibbons (Sunday Papers podcast and late night tv show producer) going off on Bernie Taupin is great. His argument is Elton John is great because he turns the dreck Taupin writes into good songs.
 
Never heard of the Chameleons prior to this week, despite by love of 80s British music. What an atmospheric track.

 
Always wondered about this Go-Go's video from 1984. The rest of the band played onstage in men's attire but the drummer stayed girly girl.

 
The self-admitted final gig of the first album from the Humidified Hussies.

Maybe finally some new music by mid-summer 2024.



(They forked up the opening to "Piece of shirt," which is endearing.)
 
I had a hankering for some Texas music. Joe Ely, 1980. Helluva band backing him. The late great Jesse Taylor on lead guitar. Ponty Bone on the accordion. Lloyd Maines, father of Natalie Maines of The Chicks on the pedal steel.



Joe with Jimmy Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock. Collectively they were The Flatlanders, Americana before anyone called it that. Jimmy has that High Lonesome Sound in spades. You might recognize Jimmy even if you don't know his music. Among other acting gigs, he played Smokey in the Big Lebowski.
