She's Baaaaaaaaaack

I meant to post about this earlier when I got back from London. It's old news now but I still dig it,
She back with a vengeance and she's 60.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Grace Jones

Sometimes I Dream

It snowed last night and it took me almost 3 hours to get home.
If only I could be this chick
It would be so delightful. I would have a fabulous wardrobe and
I get to annoy people by tap tap tappin on your windowpane.

I think this was an exclusively Chicago tradition over the holidays for over 50 years. It was a precursor for the claymation specials like Santa Claus is coming to town and Rudolf the Red-nose Reindeer.

Face to Face - Under the Gun

I was going through my stacks and stacks of vinyl to convert into MP3s for my iPod and came across this 12" 

Face to Face - Under the Gun (1984)


I so totally remember it like yesterday. I was but a wee child of 17 (1984 you do the math) and saw the video at one of those special social places I wasn't supposed to be in. I was a naughty child. But to quote Janis Ian "I learned the truth at 17". And like Janis Ian I became a lesbian except I didn't like chicks. Oh the sweet blossom of youth.  

Expect a lot more post like this as I journey through the music of my virginal (riiiiiiiiiiiiiight) youth.
