THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Whoops - sorry SG, my wine goggles obscured the small print last night!

When Fade to Grey came out I was completely transfixed - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMPC8QJF6sI - not only by the video and the music, but the ultra cool and mysterious aura that surrounded Visage (RIP Steve Strange, another taken way too soon)

Perhaps it might seem a bit basic now, but back in 1980 it felt cutting edge

No sh*t....Even though I'm a Ramones obsessive and am not a great fan of musicals.

Blind Melon, No Rain. Obviously not my genre, but this video is a thing of pure joy to watch.

"...which featured drummer Glenn Graham’s 10-year-old sister dressed up as a bee".

I bet she hates her brother now.

So, I've been Googling lists of "best videos ever" etc., to remind myself of faves that I've forgotten. And I come across this. Never heard of her or this before. It's brilliant.

Tierra Whack - Whack World

Rolling Stone describes it thus:
"Whack’s album — 15 tracks, each one minute long — was inventive in and of itself. Yet she and directors Thibaut Duverneix and Mathieu Léger elevated the project to another level."

Do yourself a favour. Make yourself a coffee and take 15 minutes out of your day to watch and listen to this.

Fatboy Slim - Praise You

Can't figure out whither these guys are really bad dancers, or really good dancers. Are they just a bunch of Spike Jonze's mates having a laugh? Or are they some fabulous troupe that spent weeks choreographing the routine? Either way, it's fantastic.

She's something else her! I really like her, but haven't seen that. She had a great single out last year called Stand Up, which was brilliant. The video for that was pretty good as well. She has a keen sense of visuals.

Always been a big of fan of Vienna, one of those timeless records that defies the years, the theatre - the drama!

Loved Ultravox back then, but a band I don't seem to listen to much these days - must change that!
