Always got a massive Pretenders vibe from this one, with its jangly guitar sound and the natural tremolo in both singersā voices.
Iāve been on a big 70s run the last few daysā¦maybe because it was the time where I really started getting into music, but for me it was the most magnificent period in musicā¦so many superb albums were releasedā¦including this one that Iām currently listening to.
Disco was never really my thingā¦but I did have a listen to K.C. and the Sunshine Bandās self titled album the other day (part of my ongoing journey of listening to albums Iāve never heard before) ā¦it brought a few memories backā¦songs that Iād completely forgotten about. ![]()
Disco is very much not my thing, howeverā¦there are obviously tracks that transcend the genre, I Feel Love, Stayinā Aliveā¦
Crossovers like I Was Made For Loving You (but Not the Stones).
And lots of guilty pleasures like Born To Be Alive and I Love The Nightlife or whatever it is.
Well, Iāll beā¦
You made me go and look up Patrick Hernandez. There I was thinking heād gone to the great discotheque in the sky years ago, but no⦠turns out heās still kicking (77 laps around the sun apparentlyā¦)
Heād be one of the great one-hit wonders, wouldnāt he? I have legitimately never heard another song by him. Without Googling Iām not even familiar with even the title of another of his songs.
Itās a toss-up between him and Promises as to which is more āone-hit-wonderyāā¦
Wash your mouth out with soap you Philistine.
Such a reaction clearly shows you were too young to appreciate the āqualitiesā of Promises ![]()
Just go see them live.
Boy oh boy is one of their shows worth it.
and everyone loves Rattlesnake!
Thereās no way I would spend money on going to see themā¦Iād never know what they were going to playā¦a lot of their stuff is crap (imo).
When only two of (now) 28 albums of theirs that Iāve listened to have made it to my playlist, itās pretty clear that Iām just not a big fan.
What do you like?
just posted in the gig thread. Iād give my left nut for an all them witches side show out of good things.
you get one in Melbourne ya lucky buggers.
They certainly had a pair of very endearing āqualitiesāā¦
Hardest working pair of suspenders in the history of mankind ![]()
Are you specifically referring to King Gizzard or generally?
If King Gizzard, then the answer is in the post you quoted.
I thought you would like disco given some of the 80s dancier songs youāve mentioned and I hear the connections sonically that come across.
For me itās all discovery and itās probably music that never came to Aus unless it was a poppy hit.
Well said mateā¦the more you listen to, the more new stuff (worth listening to) you find.
Iām currently listening to a band called āVon Hertzen Brothersā who Iād never heard of until this morning when they were mentioned in an article I was reading.
Their album āLove Remains the Sameā is the 446th first time listen for me this year (so far).
Of those 446, Iāve only added 23 to my playlistā¦but thatās ok as 23 is better than none. ![]()
Not many great disco albums ⦠all about a banging single
Ever wanted to hear disco versions of Money, Have A Cigar or One Of These Days? Has to be heard to be believed⦠![]()
@Modsā¦pleas permaban @BAAKKEERRRR for posting the above monstrosity!!!
