Welcome back, music lovers. It’s been crazy this week, yeah? I get the feeling things will get crazier before all is said and done. In the meantime, some music.
I really have no overarching theme this week, other than perhaps that of revival. In this case, I have noticed a bit of a renewed interest in late-1970s through mid-1980s postpunk. I’ll start with one my daughters turned me on to:
The Regrettes are still primarily a regional Los Angeles area act. Whether or not the break big is an open question. They are intriguing though. More to come.
Reminds me of some of the bands 4AD might have signed about 30-something years ago.
Some more:
The next national day for booze is National Whiskey Sour Day, which is Saturday. To celebrate early, I’m serving Strawberry Whiskey Sour – Tipsy Bartender.
See you next week!
Nothing like a fresh take on a classic.
I forgot that Regrettes had performed Come Through on Jimmy Kimmel’s show a while back:
Gotta bleep out the “dirty” words in US broadcasts.
To those who have continued to rec and comment in this series of diaries, and those who have contributed video content (past and present), you have my heartfelt thanks. Stay tuned…more to come.
New cafe/lounge is up. I am pleasantly surprised to see this one still on the rec list over a week after its initial posting. Thanks for the support.
