London's Brilliant Parade

Normally I talk about indy music groups on this blog, but tonight i want to share an Elvis Costello song that I have always like. London's Brillint Parade was from his Brutal Youth Album from around 1994,it was an album where he got back together with The Attractions and Nick Lowe to produce an album that shelves the sweeping ambition that marred other albums like Spike and Mighty Like The Rose, and lets his songs breathe in minimal, cleverly detailed musical settings of real genius.

Please watch the live perfroamce below, but pay attention to the lyrics, they are clever, and really quite striking in their simplistic realism.

big news and a new band

Well, I joined a singles site and met a nice women, she seems smart(of course she is talking to me so maybe not so smart), witty and is cute as a button. we have just been kind of talking and well I will just see what happens, if anything, but it is funny being back out there again after a very very long hiatus.


Anyway here is a video of "The THRILLS" doing a song of theirs called "Big Sur", they are an indie pop band from dublin Ireland that i have been listening to since 2003. Check out the video below and then check them out on youtube. They get some inspiration from the beach boys........which you can really tell when you here this song. I hope you enjoy it
