(TV) OT -- myspace videos -- something for the weekend

["Joe Thornton" <joe.thornton@gmx.net>]

Actually, "Something for the Weekend" is a great song by The Divine Comedy.

Now to the Cocteau Twins: Must admit I never bought any of their albums, but I
think I should. Anyone else bewitched by stuff like this:

I heard the song before but I don't know what it's called. There are some
other really nice vids there, including one of them doing the Tim Buckley song
"Song of the Siren".

Talking of which... Tim Buckley did "Sally Go Round The Roses"; it's available
here: www.rhino.com/store/ProductDetail.lasso?Number=76722 There's a little
sound-clip (nice!).

I remembered that song from Pentangle's 1968 recording. Pentangle included
Danny Thompson who's been playing with Richard Thompson recently.

Anyway, on myspace vids there's some great stuff by David Sylvian. The most
recent: "Linoleum" by Tweaker -- I think I'll have to get that album.

And is it not correct to describe Japan in 1980 as awesome? Here they have
emerged from the Bowie shadow, if not completely from the influence. Like
Bowie they were able to break new ground with brilliance. The song is "Swing":

This is a sublime moment from Japan's reincarnation as Rain Tree Crow:

But I think this is perhaps the greatest song ever by any British
singer-songwriter -- the voice, the piano... Kate performing live:

Here, with better quality, is the recorded version, though the
over-dramatization of the video detracts slightly from it IMO:
