Find me this album

I'm sure it's awesome.

LENE LOVICH - "Lucky Number"

OH YEAH -->



Thanks to my sister for letting pry through her old records, and to Evan Dorkin for reminding me of this one.

PARANMAUN - Linda Linda Linda

Rock-N-Roll:



Rock-N-Roll.

HUMAN LEAGUE - "Do or Die"

Yeah, whatever, I'm recently obsessed. But I think my pal Brian has it right when he sez that DARE is one of the Top Five pop albums of all time...



A nice live piece from the short-lived "Over The Top".

SIOUXSIE - "Peek-A-Boo"

I always forget how many young people have never seen these building blocks of music:



This one goes out to all the people on Earth who were born after this aired.

MORNINGWOOD - "Sugarbaby"

Pretty awesome:

Morningwood

Puppetlicious!

CRUEL BLACK DOVE - "Love Song"

My pal Gary sent me this one...



Me like. I can never get enough girl rock-n-roll singers.

B-52s - "Dance This Mess Around"

A surreal classic:



Plum loco.

LOLITA No. 18 - "Rockaway Beach"

With a special guest:



What a panic.

LOLITA No. 18 - "Video Killed the Radio Star"

Best version ever, plus nudity!



I'm forever chasing this video around the internet... it usually gets pulled down a few days after I link to it. We'll see.

PEACHES & IGGY POP - "Kick It"

Iggy rocks with Peaches:



But then Iggy rocks with anyone.

LES SAVY FAV - "Patty Lee"

An all-time favorite:



WE USED TO BE GODS
NOW WE'RE SO PLAIN

M.I.A. - "Paper Planes"

There's just something about this gal:



She nails it?

Oh, and nice use of CLASH - Straight to Hell...

DEE LITE - "Groove is in the Heart"

If you don't like this one



you have absolutely no soul. Even Satan don't want you.

As my friend J-P sez, any vid with Bootsy is ACES!

LYKKE LI - "Dance Dance Dance"

OK, I admit to a fascination with Lykke Li. There. I said it. Watch this:



I like it.

LYKKE LI - "Breaking It Up"

I just can't decide 100% about this gal... she's very compelling with a great voice and thoughtful lyrics, but that megaphone schtick has got to go:



And HERE'S a better version...

CRAMPS - "Surfin' Bird"

Just turn this up:



Ooo maw maw ooo maw maw.

REPUBLICA - "Drop Dead Gorgeous"

Sigh. Another piece of the puzzle that is The Sphere of Repugnance...



What can I say? I'm drop-dead gorgeous!

SQUEEZE - "Cool For Cats"

Squeeze, another fine band, from a very good year indeed:



They're cool for cats. This album is long gone from my collection. Sadly.

ECHO & the BUNNYMEN - "Lips Like Sugar"

This song also makes me sad:



But there is redemption. Plus those damn lips.

THE CRAMPS - "What's Inside a Girl?"

I love raunch



So obviously I love The Cramps! (Hi Gary!)

EARTHA KITT - "I Want to be Evil"

Thanks to NOHANDSMOM for this one:



Absolutely wonderful.

CANSEI DE SER SEXY - "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above"

From Brazil:

LAURIE ANDERSON - "O Superman"

This is just to drive everybody nuts:



Yes, I actually like Laurie Anderson and this kind of stuff and this song in particular. Piss off.

BRANDYTOASTER - "Dancing Girl #2"

This is just mesmerizing:



Man, can she dance.

THE CRIBS - "Men's Needs"

NAKED CHICK ALERT!

Oh, and the song's pretty good too:



For the ADULTS among us, HERE'S the unedited version. Funny how the nudity is stripped (heh) of it's sexuality. Mostly.

THE RUNAWAYS - "Cherry Bomb"

*GULP*



*kaff*

Gotta get some air...

LILY ALLEN - "Alfie"

I KNEW THERE WAS A GODDAM PUPPET LIVING IN MY WALLS!



SMOKING ALL THE WEED!

Best version!

BOW WOW WOW - "Do Ya Wanna Hold ME?"

Back when those rhythms were new, I loved this band:

Children, I wanna warn ya, 'cos I've been to California
Where Mickey Mouse is such a demon, where Mickey Mouse is as big as a house
Life is wasted on illusions, Tom and Jerry's my solution

And, yes I wanted to hold her, hold her tight.

HORRORS - "She Is The New Thing"

More from the Horrors:



And HERE'S a somewhat better version.

THOSE DANCING DAYS - "Run Run"

Not sure about this one...



It just doesn't seem to come together for me. Not enough "oomph" in the song, not enough cool stuff in the video. What do you think?

SAHARA HOTNIGHTS - "Hot Night Crash"

More Sahara Hotnights goodness:



Good energy...

SAHARA HOTNIGHTS - "On Top of the World"

More Hotnights:



OK, enough for a while.

SAHARA HOTNIGHTS - "Drive Dead Slow"

I have a weakness for girl rockers:



Cool Robert Smithesque vocals there for a minute.

THE PHONEHEADS - "Roll That Stone"

Can I just get a bite to eat?!



No I can't. Roll that stone.

WE ARE WOLVES - "Fight and Kiss"

Yikes!



Sometimes I feel like I'm moving under water...

METRIC - "Dead Disco"

Woot! Emily Haines! Cool tune.



I am strangely attracted to her bizarre dance moves.

M.I.A. - "Galang"

I love the unfamiliar rhythms (to me) that Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam weaves through her songs... there's so much neat stuff around the world that I've never heard.



And HERE'S a somewhat better version.

Oh, and her dad is a Tamil Tiger.

SUPERCAR - "White Surf Style Five"

Another amazing video featuring SUPERCAR.



(And apparently there was a real Japanese cartoon character who fired breast bombs, just like in the video.)

HOWLING BELLS - "Low Happening"

Just plain cool:

LADY SOVEREIGN - "Love Me Or Hate Me"

Apparently Lady Sovereign is big in the UK:



I just like the TETRIS thing.

Oh, and HERE'S the better version.

BJORK - "All Is Full of Love"

The Icelanian does it again:



Makes me want to suck on a sugarcube...

MUNK - "Kick Out The Chairs"

OK, this one I really really like...

Kick Out The Chairs

Reminds me of TONES ON TAIL. In a good way, not a derivative way. The song falls apart a bit at the end, which doesn't ruin it for me, but I'd like to edit my own version of it...

LIPPS INC - Funky Town

This song almost made me destroy a perfectly good jukebox once:



Man, was EVERYBODY on cocaine back then?

LYKKE LI "I'm Good, I'm Gone", live

This is pretty damn amazing:



Isn't it?

LYKKE LI - "I'm Good, I'm Gone"

Mesmerising:



Compellingly weird person.

ARCTIC MONKEYS - "Leave Before the Lights Come On"

I like me some Monkeys:



Weird, eh?

COCOROSIE - "Noah's Ark"

I'm almost embarrassed to admit I like this one... silky melodies and incredible vocals/weirdass vocals - if you like that kind of stuff.



HERE'S a higher res version that always seems to lock up my computer unless I let it load for almost a minute. Proceed at your own risk.
