Musical things you were slow to realise

Haven’t dug out my CD in ages, from memory I thought Buggin’ was in the middle somewhere but looks like it is at the end actually - I’d consider everything after Sleeping on the Roof to be a bonus track (particularly as two of them are remixes of previous album tracks) but I’d forgotten there’s no other version of Buggin’ on the album beforehand

I think I’d conflated winkle pickers and teddy boys and assumed that’s what the Arctic Monkeys song was about, but a teddy picker is a claw machine in an arcade.

Morrissey’s ‘We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful’ is about Tim Booth.

I’m having a bit of a Kylie moment and was listening to this in the kitchen while cooking tea:

Firstly, had forgotten how good this music video is. And then had a moment where I realised, oh the “I need your love / like night needs morning” is an interpolation of the “I need your loving / like the sunshine” in Everyone’s Gotta Learn Sometime (which I only know from the Beck cover).

But then I googled it and it’s not mentioned anywhere, so maybe it’s not… The similarity of the lyrics and the vocal line really stand out to me though

That Beck cover was for Eternal Sunshine which was directed by Michel Gondry who also directed this video…

How deep does this thing go???

might as well use this opportunity to point anyone interested to The Korgis, basically the '80s alter-ego of the excellent Stackridge

This is kind of only a semi-musical slow to realise but I’m putting it here because the realisation came to me while watching a britpop doc

How did I not know/realise until now that Nic from music video directing partnership Dom&Nic is Nic Goffey, brother of Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey & son of former Top Gear presenter Chris Goffey

It all makes perfect sense now

I always thought it was just one person named Dominic being clever.

Minds kinda blown by this.

this song has one of the lads who was in LMFAO on it too

Both will.i.am and the other lad out of Black Eyed Peas have verses on this. Their group was signed to Eazy-E’s label in the early nineties.
