yeah, i read the book too. intense forlorn mindfxxk. voyeuristic tendencies at its optimum which is the style that it was written as by jeffrey eugenides.

talking about film adaptation from books, baz luhrman is making great gatsby into a moving reality. looking forward for that. gemma ward is channeling catherine in the film.

saturday's tune....

Kate B's latest single from her upcoming album, 50 Words for Snow.

Sounds like something straight out from the Aerial session, at least this time we only waited 6 instead of 12 years for a new KB album. 50 Words for Snow sounds like an intriguing title, I just checked Wikipedia and the song lengths are clocking at 6-14 minutes long. Seems like an ambitious prog-rock project.

I miss her hysterical soprano octaves, though. She sorts of mellowed down after Hounds of Love. I need more mad stuff... whack that devil into my fiddlestick, Kate.

My favourite Goldfrapp song. Kate Bush with a dollop with Cocteau Twins, imho.

Seriously, you're right.

I'm not usually a fan of Goldfrapp, but this is good stuff.

Yea. Kate's vocals are now a lot less manic than how she sounded like in her the Dreaming and Hounds of Love days. But it could be due to age. She is after all in her 50s. Actuali, I think her mellow sound started with the Red Shoes. Imho, a woman has to sound and act her age and not be vintage leather dressed like veal *coughMadonnacough*

A good example of how age alters a woman's voice is the way Marianne Faithfull sounds when she sang As Tears Go By. The one released when she was younger is TOTALLY different from the one released when she is much older. Of course for Marianne, the drugs and cigarettes did not help .

@PT: Two classics imho, from the 90s, (Smoke City)

:-) I heard this before but did not know the name of the song/singer. Tks. Very loungy in a cool way. The guy is so sexy, like Antonio Banderas.

@DF: very psychedelic...the influence of the ward is evident. :-)

On a happier note, some toy music from Psapp.

I like Psapp too. This is my favorite from them:

Foster the People: I like their vibe in general. In terms of songwriting, Pumped Up Kicks aside, I'm not very impressed with them yet.

Tricycle is sweet. It has a very pure and innocent, nostalgic feel.

Foster the People - 'Call' is not as catchy as 'Pump' but doesn't the lead singer sound very British?

Here's a song that's 9 years old. (Citizen Cope's Let the drummer kick')

Don't think there's an official video but this clip's typography animation is pretty cool.

Here's a little known gem of a progressive rock band from the late 1970s called Klaatu. I love how they replicate the Beach Boys' style on the song below:

Interestingly, at some point The Carpenters covered one of their songs (which is also among Carpenters' finest, imo):

Speaking of Kate Bush, the tracks from 50 Words for Snow have leaked. Just finished listening to them.

Pretty good, I'll probably rank this as her second best work since her prime Dreaming/Hounds days. (Best is Aerial, imo, not a fan of the highly acclaimed Sensual World.)
