Mark Ronson, The Business Intl – Somebody To Love Me

May 21, 2016 by Curator Boy

SATURDAY SYNTHETIC: Combine a faux clip of Boy George in the early 1980s and a real vocal from him in 2010 and you have a pretty powerful song. … [Read more...]

Clarence Carter – Snatching it Back

May 20, 2016 by Curator Boy

FRIDAY FUNK: For Eighties progeny like myself, we probably know Clarence Carter best for the 1985 song "Strokin'", but that's rightly not what we're showing here today. Here's one of his funk hits from 1969, Snatching It Back: … [Read more...]

The Bar-Kays – Soulfinger

May 13, 2016 by Curator Boy

FRIDAY FUNK: Am I the only one who saw a Beatles album cover when first looking at this song? 1967 was the year of release, so let's assume it's some cover art homage. … [Read more...]

The Beautiful South – A Little Time

May 11, 2016 by Curator Boy

WEDNESDAY'S WHATEVER: The word perfection shouldn't be used very often in music, but I'd argue that the combination of this song, its lyrics and the video clip bring it pretty close to that description. A Little Time was released in 1990 from the band's album Choke (also very highly recommended) … [Read more...]

TISM – Thunderbirds Are Coming Out

May 10, 2016 by Curator Boy

TWISTED TUESDAY: If I had my way I'd be featuring TISM on a weekly basis, but for now you'll have to make do with this beauty from 1998. Would love to know how many of the featured bands in the clip are still around. … [Read more...]

Jimmy Eat World – The Middle

May 5, 2016 by Curator Boy

THURSDAY TOP 10s - The Middle hit number 5 on the charts in 2002 and I'm actually surprised it didn't go the whole way as songs don't get much catchier than this. … [Read more...]
