Well, one comment - lead singer looks like Quentin Tarantino on Prozak.

FYI, Memphis has two tribute weeks to Elvis - a week in January in honor of his birth (we call it Live Elvis Week) and this week in August in honor of his death (we call this one Dead Elvis Week).

Our daily video, this one in honor of the Woodstock generation:

I was in Spain helping save the free world and gaining intimate knowledge of flamenco guitars and castenets. Ole.

BTW, this guy may have been the best there ever was on guitar.

I was so excited when I thought to post this song...the origin of my username...only to find that I could *not* find it on youtube.

So here is a snippet from Amazon.

Required listening for all TWMAC members!

[Xisbum]

^^^Couldn't find it, either, but thought you might enjoy this one. Nice colors, and g-r-e-a-t hair!!

^^^This year's Halloween costume?

Why can't we find Topaz anywhere?!? Grrrr!!!

 

[Topaz]

Shake that Cosmic Thing Xisbum!!!

Don't let it rest on the President's desk!!!

 

[Topaz]

This is so much more fun than working on lesson plans.

Can't start singing B52s without thinking of Deeeeeelite...

Groove is in the Heart (best quality I could find unfortunately, but the sound is good)

Oh, found a better, live version...awesome vocals at the end, and evidently this was their last performance...

Addictive, ain't it, Lady Topaz?

Here's a good one; love the lyrics and guitar work, but the visual is poor:

Wow. Takes a lot to blow me away - Beatles in Memphis 1966, Rutgar Hauer in Bladerunner, David Oistrakh gliding through Beethoven's violin concerto in D major, Kate Hepburn/Peter O'Toole's tour de force in The Lion in Winter - but this music definitely BLOWS ME AWAY. Such voices, such gothicness. Why did they break up?

BTW, the glittery one with the laurel crown reminds me of a certain tennis player I know.

P.S. I love Joan Jett; put another dime in the jukebox, baby. Always wanted to see a WWF grudge match between her and Billy Idol.

Think I'd bet on Joan.

.

The one with the crown was with the girl band Bananarama (very 'poppy' sounding chick band...remember 'Walk like and Egyptian'?), and formed this group on her own afterward...then the other gal came along, and they actually started to chart, especially in the UK. Evidently, not long after this last performance, the 'crown' gal checked herself into an institution for depression. Word is that the two gals were no longer speaking, either. When the girl left the institution the group was officially split up, though they both continue to make music on their own.

Ooo weigh ooo, indeed! Tambourine playing whistler looks like someone Hollywood would date, right?

I actually prefer this Bonnie Tyler ditty:

You know, when I typed it I had a nagging feeling...good catch.

Why can't I remember anything Bananarama did?

And yes Sappy, the flow chart is wonderful. Personally, I can sing the shiznatz out of that song!

The first is a cover of an old Byrds tune. I might find my next signature in Scare Easy. Mr. Tom can sure turn a phrase.

Okkervil River. Everybody fall to your knees!

Right now!

Not bad. You got taste, dude, good taste.

 

[Topaz]

^^^I believe the word your looking for is 'dudette'.

 

[Xisbum]

^^^I believe the word your looking for is 'dudette'.

And just how would I know that? Dude, to me, is fairly generic, as is "guys" when addressing a mixed group.

Whether Terr is from Mars or Venus, this person's musical taste is well developed.

 

[Topaz]

I didn't think you would...just sharing a tidbit I've picked up elsewhere in the board. I also use 'dude' generically.

Congrats for having a chance to listen to her music. Though she doesn't belong to the category of this thread.
If you have time, check out Laura Gibson. (I didn't read through the whole thread, so my apologies if she's already mentioned.)
