This sort of thing?We need a return to the disco aesthetic and aestheticism in general.
This neo-puritinism, eco-hysteria, rejection of beauty and the new apartheid needs to be kicked into touch.
Now there was a band who the anti-fashion stance nailed:
This sort of thing?
I would not pay too much attention to Urban Gentry though.
Here in Oz
Ya mean like The Rolling Bones...?There's nothing more dispiriting and incline one to give up on life and start wearing closed laced dress shoes with jeans or wonder if "fun" socks might be an idea or even contemplate wearing leather dress shoes sans socks and perhaps jazz up the jeans and shoes with a band T shirt and old suit coat, than a 70s rock star doing a tour years later and playing to fucking boomers who sing along to "all the hits". Worse even if said rock star trys to still be cool with dyed hair and skinny black jeans on chicken legs under a pot belly and receding hairline.
But here's Harley on RockKwiz - in 2017 - 42 years (?) after the hit - making it come alive with at least as much impact and arguably a better more mature interpretation and looking like a normal person - someone's well preserved neighbour and a perhaps even a grandpa ---- and ----delivering the goods. It doesn't hurt that the RockKwiz House Band is always superb.
Good one Steve. Big Thanks.
Reasons to be cheerful - 1, 2 3.....
Ronnie Wood looks dreadful in his outfits - Keith seems to work - because - well its Keith - Charlie always looked dignified and surprisingly Mick at 92 or whatever he is looks alright.Ya mean like The Rolling Bones...?
Can relate...
He's like an English Leonard Cohen, in a way. His recent(ish) Christmas album is genius and the new EP's are good.
Other that Elvis Costello who never fails to bore me with his overly intelligent and thought out music now, I'm much more interested in what musicians are doing in the here and now than past classics. As an example, the stuff that Ringo Starr has been putting out in the last 5 years and even 12-18 months, interests me. Some of it over produced, autotune set to maximum, but there's one or two good songs in each release. And that guy's in his eighties. Think that's great. Same with Macca, loads of shite, but always one or two good tracks. Paul Weller, not really interested in The Jam anymore, I like what he's doing now.
That song by Nick Lowe there's story behind. In an interview he relates how he was back in the UK after his failed marriage to Carlene Carter, he was on the bones of his arse in his semi-detached house and then out of the blue a cheque arrived for the Bodyguard soundtrack for What's So Funny About for around a million and a half. I believe it wasn't even used in the film(?), but it was on the soundtrack. And that's where the royalties came from.
