Regurgitator – ! (The Song Formerly Known As)

April 30, 2016 by Curator Boy

SATURDAY SYNTHETIC: It's fitting that we feature this ditty from Regurgitator given it's only a week since Prince died. It's an open homage to Prince and it achieves that brilliantly. The clip isn't too shabby either. … [Read more...]

Living Colour – Love Rears Its Ugly Head

April 29, 2016 by Curator Boy

FRIDAY FUNK: In the late eighties funk rock was the thing, and Living Colour were a band well and truly in that genre. Here's their 1990 release Love Rears Its Ugly Head: … [Read more...]

Elton John – Philadelphia Freedom

April 28, 2016 by Curator Boy

THURSDAY TOP 10: This song was Elton John's fourth of six US number ones in the 1970s and it still packs a punch. The clip is of Elton punching the song out at the Royal Opera House with full orchestra. … [Read more...]

Warumpi Band – Blackfella/Whitefella

April 27, 2016 by Curator Boy

WEDNESDAY'S WHATEVER: For what it's worth this song should at least be in the shortlist for a new national anthem for Australia. That aside, it's a bloody good rock song. It comes from 1987. … [Read more...]

Pet Shop Boys – I’m With Stupid

April 26, 2016 by Curator Boy

TWISTED TUESDAY: There's a lot of Pet Shop Boys songs I like better than this one, but this clip is one of the best and the subject matter (Tony Blair blindly following George W Bush into war) is cutting but still catchy. Add in the boys from Little Britain and you have a classic clip from 2006. … [Read more...]

Blue Oyster Cult – Dancin’ In The Ruins

April 25, 2016 by Curator Boy

METAL MONDAY: Ok, you're right. This song ain't metal but its creators certainly have metal pedigree. We could have featured Don't Fear The Reaper or one of their other heavier songs, but the clip for this one amused the hell out of us. The song comes from 1985's album release Club Ninja. … [Read more...]

Bobby Womack – If You Think You’re Lonely Now

April 24, 2016 by Curator Boy

SUNDAY SOUL: The words 'soul' and 'classic' rightfully belong in the same sentences as Bobby Womack. Here's but one example: … [Read more...]

The Lightning Seeds – Perfect

April 23, 2016 by Curator Boy

SATURDAY SYNTHETIC: 'Rabid' is probably the best word to describe our love for the Lightning Seeds here. Perfect is one of a dozen songs I'd like to feature, but the clip for this one made it the pick. It also comes from my favourite Lightning Seeds album, Jollification. So Mr Broudie - how about a tour Down Under? … [Read more...]

Prince – Musicology

April 22, 2016 by Curator Boy

FUNK FRIDAY: There's nothing more we can add to the millions of words written about the death of Prince last night. All we can do is post one of the hundreds of songs that confirm him not only as one of the greatest funk musicians of the past fifty years, but as one of the best musicians of that period irrespective of genre. … [Read more...]

Pearl Jam – Do The Evolution

April 19, 2016 by Curator Boy

TWISTED TUESDAY: This clip is gold from start to finish. And I don't even like Pearl Jam that much (there I said it) … [Read more...]
