Music: June 2004 Archives

I don't know how I missed this before, but it is wonderful. Richard Thompson's "Dear Janet Jackson", downloadable from his site here. Another reminder of why I like him so much!

As I think I've mentioned before, every now and again I get an urge to listen to some silly pop song from long ago (meaning, "before the Internet"), and I try to track down the thing. Today it was "Got to Get" by Rob n' Raz, featuring a rapper named Leila K., a song which was on the radio a lot when I was in Leicester in 1990. Don't ask.

Anyway, turns out that if I'm a freak (and I strongly suspect that I am), at least I'm not the only one. A community radio station in Minneapolis offers RealAudio archives from  the aptly named Crap from the Past show, and looky here! They played it. And! They've got the Ace of Bass song "The Sign"... in Russian! And! a bunch of Abba (dubbed "The god-awful medley of the week"). Ooh! And! "The Cars with the Boom!" by L'Trimm!

I tell you, it's bad pop paradise!
