Millionaire

This was my favourite song when I got married and so is dedicated to my wife because she loves a millionaire (or at least someone who she makes feel like one).

Beyond Good and Evil

I fancy myself as forward looking and living in the now but worry that music might be going backwards. The Guardian reported on an academic study that proved pop music uses progressively less varied melodic variation, rhythmn and timbre. Effectively this means that it does all sound the same. Kids now seem to accept this, unfortunately. This record is 34 years old, why are young people now not wanting to be as challenging as this? Also, look at their clothes. I always thought that Spandau Ballet ripped their look off the Pop Group. Here's the proof. 

There's a new girl in town

Previous song was from the There's a New Girl in Town EP and here is the New Girl doing her own version of the Wayward Wind. She's not exactly Gogi Grant but a surprisingly deep voice. Like Jim Reeves. Lily, you might like this. It looks a bit like your bedroom.

The Wayward Wind

My sister reminded me about this. So this is dedicated to her.

Sombrero Club 1962

After the Godz, another all time greatest group ever are Toots and the Maytals. Here they are at the Sombrero Club (no idea where that is) in 1962 backed by Byron Lee and his Dragonaires. Exciting vocals and some great dancing. This is brilliant, actually.

The Whiffenpoof Song

One last blast from the Godz. This was released as a single in the hope that it would compete with Strawberry Fields Forever or Good Vibrations. The Godz appeared to sincerely believe that their ur-music (and I have only posted their more musical stuff, some of it really is tuneless) had the potential to be widely successful. Gentlemen songsters off on a spree, doomed from here to eternity.

Soon the Moon

The previous video had poor sound so this is what the Godz could sound like properly recorded. A song of great depth and mystery that stays in your head. The less imaginative might have had a three note bass part to reflect the three syllables of the song’s repeated title. I think this is what Pink Floyd wanted to sound like but could not cut themselves loose from what was considered musical. No such qualms for the unfettered Godz who set the controls for the heart of the dissonance and achieve lift off.
