That's a really beautiful song, thanks! And something I NEVER would have heard otherwise.
I really appreciate the write up actuall! I went and read her wikipedia entry afterward. Sounds like quite a career.

Nirvana - Love Buzz
It's kind of amazing that they're the same song, but when you listen to the original, you can hear what Kurt was picking up on. Two totally different songs but ... not.
FNM's cover of Easy is fantastic. It's a pretty straight cover, but Patton sells it.
The Persuasions - Anyway the Wind Blows by Frank Zappa
Kind of a pretty straight cover, but I think by stripping it down to just melody and vocals shows just how good and faithful to the genre the original was.
The whole Persuasions album of Zappa songs is terrific. Definitely recommend.
Wikipedia tells me you're right. Haha. I dig the song. They're from my part of the world too.
Song: Pink Belly Album: Rooms by the Hour Artist: Rustic Overtones
Rustic Overtones is a band based out of the Portland, Maine area. They've been releasing music for almost 30 years at this point. They had their brushes with wider success with an album released on Tommy Boy that featured David Bowie and Imogen Heap. Bandleader Dave Gutter recently won a Grammy for his co-write on Aaron Neville's last album.
Anyway, this is probably my favorite Overtones album and one of my favorite songs.
Sorry, I have to ask...is it Slo Thrust or Sloth Rust? I assume the first, but this IS the internet after all.
Many people are leaving Rome expecting to arrive in Carthage.
Now I'm thinking about Reddit as England and the Fediverse as North America and wondering what the world would be like if people decided "Shit, this is nothing like home and it's too hard. I'm going back."
Native culture would have thrived. Those who came and made the effort to integrate would have been welcomed and found a place. And maybe the real treasure would be the friends they made along the way.
I had spun up a Lemmy instance a few weeks ago with a focus on only books, music, movies/tv, and games. There are enough general use instances.
I'm currently the only user and even I haven't been posting. 🫢 I'd be happy to open it up if people want.
I feel a hard disagree on macs, but I can't fault someone for their love of apples.
- Song: Mad About You
- Album: Gold & Platinum vol. 3 / Belinda
- Artist: Belinda Carlisle
The first single from Belinda's solo debut was just a joyous expression of being in love with someone. I only have the tack on the G&P compilation, but I really should seek out her albums.
Yeah, I'm not sure what isn't connecting with me. You know how when you try to get into an early, influential work - be it a book, movie, whatever - you see the origin of all kinds of tropes and you KNOW this thing came first, but you can't get over the tropiness of some things? I think that's kind of what it is.
I'm determined to finish it this week though, I need to move on to other things.
