A couple of vids for this week. As promised, one is from the 1985 countdown that played on SiriusXM last week.<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><br \/>\n\u201cDo You Want Crying\u201d – Katrina and the Waves<\/p>\n<p>One of the areas of music esoterica I pride myself in mastering is knowing minor hits by bands that are widely considered One-Hit Wonders. \u201cWell, actually they had another song that hit the top 20\u2026\u201d You know, that kind of bullshit about one in 50 people appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>So I was freaking floored when I heard this song last weekend. I have no memory of it at all. I was 100% positive that Katrina And The Waves were one of the ultimate One-Hit Wonders. Turns out\u2026this song hit #37, which doesn\u2019t exactly make it a hit, but it did chart. And they had a song that cracked the top 20, \u201cThat\u2019s The Way,\u201d in 1989. My world is shook.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, this is an incredible song. I heard it Saturday morning and was like \u201cHoly shit, this is amazing!\u201d and quickly jotted down a note at a red light to listen to it when I got home. I put on the entire album that it comes from, <em>Katrina and the Waves 2<\/em>, and it\u2019s a really solid disk. I was doubly blown away when I learned that Katrina and the Waves wrote and first performed the song \u201cGoing Down to Liverpool,\u201d a song I know from the wonderful Bangles version. It was different from the Bangles version, but no less delightful.<\/p>\n<p>Still, though, this song is the shit. I\u2019m pissed I didn\u2019t know it back in the day. I could have spent the last 33 years telling people, \u201cYeah, \u2018Walking On Sunshine,\u2019 is a good song, but have you ever heard \u2018Do You Want Crying\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/teamcoco.com\/node\/104596\">http:\/\/teamcoco.com\/node\/104596<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMotion Sickness\u201d – Phoebe Bridgers<br \/>\nYou can\u2019t always trust everything you read on the Internets, kids.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, while researching the songs on my <a href=\"http:\/\/dsnotebook.me\/26-favorite-songs-of-2017\/\">Favorites of 2017 list<\/a>, I came across several stories that suggested that any lyrical similarities between Phoebe Bridgers\u2019 \u201cMotion Sickness\u201d and Ryan Adams\u2019 \u201cOutbound Train\u201d were purely coincidental. 2017 ended, I turned my attention to newer music matters, and thus missed several stories earlier this year where Bridgers said that, in fact, \u201cMotion Sickness\u201d was very much about Adams. Apparently after working together in the studio, the pair hooked up for a brief romance. Adams, according to Bridgers, was not thrilled with her accounting of their relationship at first, but eventually admitted to her it was a good song.
