re: LLOP/Naturals - I love the Rose, instant classic (actually surprised it didn’t cross over). I also remember Sweeney playing ‘The Pulse’ on BIS too and had to stop the car. Absolutely blinding tune albeit a lot more subtle/trippy
Just spotted that Juno have the Emotional Response repress of the LLOP/Naturals LP on sale for a cool £10 for anyone that’s interested… bargain.
In a sweet spot between Kate Bush and Nancy Nova, off-kilter moody 80s business with Spanish guitar & sultry voiceover…
This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever, right?
I miss the WNYU Tim
alriiiight!
yeah, a permanent fixture on my ipod through the 2000s, countless tunes that changed the game for me.
Wonder what happened to Victor from Washington Heights?
He was brilliant
David Byrne’s vaguely afrobeat flavoured cover of teen emo faves Paramore.
Tbh, i played the hell out of the original anyway, but that’s maybe more for a guilty pleasure thread…
I’ve been rinsing this song!
“couldn’t we handle this…on the phone?” So cold
It’s brilliant isn’t it? Hans Zimmer produced.
They’re back and it’s really good
Damn, that’s stunning…
what are thoughts on that Macarena dub that’s going round?
** wow, there’s actually a few proggy dub edits of it already. some of them not actually that bad (although I play the Boombastic riddim version so have questionable cred ha)
