That's headache material if I've ever heard it.

I heard that in a bar when it came out and mostly was taken by the video.  I DO like the intro but found the song repetitive and dull.

Then a younger relative played 'Perfect Kiss' and I just loved it ... sublime.  Then I got a 'Best of New Order' CD and I love a lot of their catalogue.  Their lyrics are simple and even dumb sometimes, and their musicianship is basic ... but the way they put it together, the style of it is just irresistible.

A co-worker took me to a concert last night. His wife's friend was singing at a restaurant and they had an extra ticket. A nondescript 30-something woman whose elementary-school age daughter was checking tickets at the door. She, along with a bass player and piano/guitar guy, performed a variety of familiar songs as well as their original singers ever did. She did several Fleetwood Mac songs, a countryesque take on "Royals", a couple of Elton John numbers, "Black Velvet"... either songs made famous by female vocalists, or at least songs that suit a female voice. It was really, really good.  She's apparently available to perform at your wedding, houseboat party, or whatever. The highlight of the show was these two songs from the '90s. "Joey" in particular was delivered with such feeling that I felt myself getting misty-eyed.

Live performances in small intimate venues?  Or songs by women with floppy hats?

That singer from 4 non blondes really creeps me out for some reason.

That singer belting "Joey" live really nailed it, she sounds just like she does on the recording.

First one.  Especially if it's good.  Good locals beat all.  The tourist music in St. John's NFLD was a little hokey though.

Jeanette Napolitano... I think she's a pretty great singer.  She could fit her voice to songs from angry to romantic to happy to heartbroken. I had a few of their albums when I was younger, but no longer have those cassettes or anything to play them on, and if I did they'd probably sound like crap anyway. I hadn't thought about Concrete Blonde for years, and had forgotten how much I enjoyed them.

I really loved this:



"Tomorrow, Wendy" was the last song on the same record that had "Joey" on it.  It was written by another musician, whose friend had contracted AIDS and decided she would commit suicide rather than go through the suffering. I didn't know the backstory at the time, but you didn't really need to know it to feel the bleakness and hopelessness.  I found this deeply affecting when I was young, and still do I guess.

I think the 4 Non Blondes song is making a comeback.  I hear it on the radio lately every day.  It's a gooder.

I'm okay with it.

I wonder if, at some point, Big Band enthusiasts were thinking the same thing. "We're not #1 anymore, but that's not a bad thing. Big Band has become too diluted with substandard copies of the greats. It's dying under its own popularity. Waning popularity will cure some of what ails Big Band right now. Big Band will come back, and when it does it'll be fresher and more relevant because of this."
