That other musical genre
  • EvanEvan November 2011
    This is for everything that doesn't have its own musical topic.  So we don't have to decide if The Waitresses, for example, are Punk, or New Wave, or something totally different. 

    So here they are: 


    And the equally uncategorizable Romeo Void.


    And maybe a singer-songwriter.


    Still kills me every time.

    And here's another.


    Beautiful.

    And one more from the 70s.


    And for a total change of pace, one of the most kick-ass theme songs of all time:


    (Admittedly without having done a thorough survey of every theme song and objectively determining each one's kick-assedness.)

    And another:



    And yet another:

    And here's a grab bag of songs from one of my favorite soundtracks of all time, Valley Girl:











    Can't seem to find a good "Cool Places" with both Sparks and Jane Wiedlin . . .

    Been thinking about girl groups lately.

    There's not a sample of this available online yet, but it looks interesting: Peter Evans has created a (jazz?) record based on Ran Prieur's essay "Beyond Civilized and Primitive."
  • EvanEvan December 2011

    It's that time of year.  Post 'em if you've got 'em.


  • grantgrant December 2011
    Well, in that case: 
    God Rest Ye METAL! Gentlemen. 


    and, from the tail end of the Great Depression: 
    Eddie Cantor, "The Only Thing I Want for Christmas (Is Just to Keep the Things That I've Got)".

    A nice Jewish boy, Eddie Iskowitz.

    Here's another Jewish Christmas song, by Israel Baline (Irving Berlin), and covered by one of my favorite bands. 


    No mention of Jesus, Santa Claus, anything Christian, or anything even vaguely relating to Christmas except sleigh bells, snow, and Christmas cards.

    Happy Hanukkah.
  • EvanEvan December 2011
    Another favorite:


    And another:


    Pure joy.

    More METAL FOR SEASON.

    Not Dio. Not Christmas.
  • EvanEvan December 2011
    The Anvil movie was truly amazing.  Jewish Canadian metal.

    There really aren't any great Hanukkah songs.  "Mao Tsur" is fine, but it doesn't rock.  Or swing.

    Although there is Matisyahu.


    (Huh.  He was in Brooklyn yesterday.  And ditched the beard and Chasidic garb.  Hmm.)

    And on the Christmas side, I always wondered how this pairing happened:

    Two more:

    This needs to be heard more.


     


     

  • genlobgenlob February 29

    Don't know why this isn't embedding but it's The Cramps - Goo Goo Muck

    (You have to take the crap out of the URL between "watch?" and "v=whateverIDforthevideo".)
  • genlobgenlob February 29
    Ah. Thanks grant.
