It would be, but I am not an honourable man, sadly.
That Youāve Got a Woman by Whitney is a cover
Yes, there was a TV programme where they tracked down the writer (who was skint) and presented him with a royalty cheque which was life changing for him. I canāt remember the name of the programme - it was One Show-esque.
22 years Iāve owned Death in Vegasās The Contino Sessions. And I only just realised Dirge was heavily built around a sample.
This is just weird
Lovely! I had no clue either. This sounds great.
Just discovered, rather than slow to realise, but anywayā¦ The man who wrote the song Cry Me A River (the old Julie London torch song standard, not the Justin Timberlake one) also wrote the childrenās song I Can Sing A Rainbow.
Was gonna post this. I learned about it when I was doing a Terry Callier deep dive.
Today I learned Nina Simone did a version and now itās probably all Iām gonna think about til lunch time when I get a chance to listen.
The cover art for Start Breaking My Heart by Caribou isnāt a blocky, abstractish, photoreal (not the right word) pop arty painting in the vein of Hockneyās Splashā¦but just a photo:
Itās a nice photo though.
This bunch are playing in my village this Christmas and everyone seems to think itās Rednex (itās not)
Nellee Hooper is a man. Came up in the Bjork thread.
Midwife is on the first song of the new Drowse album.
Kris Kistofferson was born in the 1930s.
I mean this is true of people older than 82 but it still seems wild to me.
Fleetwood Mac have loads of great songs that arenāt on Rumours
LOADS, like tonnes. Ridiculously talented bunch of songwriters
Just popped this in here because I really like it
Prince got mentioned in another thread and Iāve just found out Graffiti Bridge was a film. Canāt believe he got to make another film after Under the Cherry Moon.
Does sound hilariously bad
I own the album and all the singles from that era, Iāve never seen the film though. Guaranteed 100% shite.
