What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Hello,
In a kind-of-coincidence way, I was just listening to this:
At times, this reminds me of Devo if they stuck to guitars (and sped everything up a lot) - kind of like the WIpeouters played really fast and wilder.

I was just wondering who would win in a fight between Elastica and Republica so I listened to them back to back.
It's Elastica.
It's Elastica.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
how does listening to them clarify who would win in a knife fight?

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
You had to listen to make this determination? Elastica didn't last long enough, Republica lasted too long (however long that actually was). Even if all they ever released was "How I Wrote Elastica Man," they would have been way, way better than Republica. But they also had two awesome albums.

I actually wasn't familiar with them beyond their one-hits. In any case, Elastica won the fight (bare knuckles).Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑07 Apr 2022, 7:02pmYou had to listen to make this determination?

Justine Frischman also had a real androgynous cool to her; Saffron was an identikit indie female singer.Kory wrote: ↑08 Apr 2022, 2:37pmI actually wasn't familiar with them beyond their one-hits.

Sure but at least Republica didn't get sued by Wire...as far as I know.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Apr 2022, 3:21pmJustine Frischman also had a real androgynous cool to her; Saffron was an identikit indie female singer.Kory wrote: ↑08 Apr 2022, 2:37pmI actually wasn't familiar with them beyond their one-hits.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
If you're gonna steal, aim high. (My recollection is that Wire didn't sue, but rather their music publisher did, as often happens in these cases. Still, the band got a nice payout and probably led to some additional sales.)Kory wrote: ↑08 Apr 2022, 4:15pmSure but at least Republica didn't get sued by Wire...as far as I know.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Apr 2022, 3:21pmJustine Frischman also had a real androgynous cool to her; Saffron was an identikit indie female singer.Kory wrote: ↑08 Apr 2022, 2:37pmI actually wasn't familiar with them beyond their one-hits.

Tracyanne is Tracyanne Campbell, formerly of Camera Obscura. This is a lovely mix of traditional country melancholy and 60s folk pop. Which isn't far off from Camera Obscura. Good music for feeling wistful and blue.
