RANDOM THOUGHTS, GOSSIP & GENERAL NONSENSE FROM KUWAIT

Playlist May 19 - 25

An old master returns to form and more in this week's playlist..
  1. Stevie Wonder - So What The Fuss: Tight and funky, the legend returns to his 1970's glory after the downward spiral marked by the 9/11 of his career "I Just Called To Say I Love You" (ugh!)
  2. Spoon - I Turn My Camera On: A slinky sexy rock track, perfect for pouty models.
  3. Juliet - Avalon: No idea who this chick is, but what a great summer dance anthem! Recommended by Mo, my pizza & burger buddy.
  4. Weezer - Beverly Hills: So different than what we're used to from Weezer, but I like it.
  5. The Coral - In The Morning: Sunny and bright, I imagine this is perfect to hear at breakfast on a terrace overlooking the sea. Or driving to work.

This week's classic pick is Eric Clapton's The Core, 8 minutes of pure rock bliss. Can anyone recognize the female co-vocalist?

Finally, a big "get well soon" to Kylie Minogue who has just started treatment for breast cancer.

Purg... Marcy Levy is correct and I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you looked it up in your Clapton liner notes instead of Googling her.

BUT.. can you tell me what else she did? And in what band?

Purgatory said...

I knew that would be your next question, so not sure how much information you want but here goes from my rusty memory bank

1) Bob segar band (that is where she started)

2) Help Me, with with one of the Gibbs

Maybe the most recently known would be the band Shakespeare's Sister, with the bananarama lady, Siobahn Fahy.

Zaydoun said...

Bingo! Well done!

I remember when Shakespear's Sister first came out, I thought "damn it I recognize that voice anywhere"

Hi,
I was searching through Blogger to see if I can find some information on breast cancer symptom. I stumbled on your blog, as this was not quite what I was looking for about breast cancer symptom. I did however read your blog and found it quite interesting, keep up the good work and hopefully I will visit it again.
Regards,
