I had completely forgotten about this song til last night. Loved every minute. Those indie pop disco moments of silliness amongst the hairspray, backcombing and indelible red lipstick. A VERY muddy night to remember, and I’ll be singing this song in my head for a Very Long Time.
(also, this video is bonkers)
I don’t care if you don’t, and I don’t feel if you don’t, and I don’t want it if you don’t, and I won’t say it if you don’t say it first!
Nearly time for Bobert! WHEEEE!
Back in the mists of time, I recall learning to play this on the bass in a school hall…
And tomorrow, I go back to see them in a muddy field!
if ever there was a great song about hairdos, this is it.
I know I shouldn’t do it but I love synthetic wigs a lot.
I have always loved Jarvis and this is as great as he has ever been, I reckon. Love the breakdown in the middle, allegedly recorded in a cave.
And now we’re back in the Stone Age.
Must be the sun that’s put this in my head. Put on your best flares and shake your hair.
Ooh shock it, break it, baby, Electric Lady, Electric Lady…
FROM THE FUTURE!
I still haven’t come down after watching Janelle on the Glastonbury coverage at the weekend. This official video seems pretty tame in comparison to her stage show. I would LOVE to see her live, though my ass may not survive the funk.
Talking about biographies with my hairdresser yesterday and the topic came to Marianne Faithfull – and this song came to mind.
Not for the easily offended or faint of heart. NSFW. (Much swearing)
Last night, I saw David McAlmont perform this song. Sublime, heartbreaking jazz. And here’s a live video of Billie. Raw stuff.
