Day 15: A song from the 20s

Glaswegian indie/post-punk band Uninvited mix power guitars with flawless harmonies.

"My girlfriend's name is Holly
She's beautiful but she's mean
She's not like any other
Girl that you've seen
And so unfortunately
I'm in love and she's stuck with me
I flinch whenever I see
Her name on my screen"

I love this part leading into the bridge:

"If not, then what is love?
I want her, I need her
To show me that she cares
I wanna get away
The truth is that I think I'm scared"

Supremely talented, queer, and a hell of a lot of fun, I have high hopes that they catch on.

"Holly," Uninvited (2024).

(+1 for Scottish artist, +1000 points for remembering "Glaswegian", for at total of 2131 and 1/3 points, a free kick, a balk, a bang on the ear, a nice gefilte fish, they pulled the goalie, a foot of beer, and a sprig of holly.)

Margaret Hoolihan was an inspirational character to me. The actress showed her sensuality and sexuality at a time when it was considered whorish. She navigated sexism using charm, ferocity, and intellect, she had an inner strength that I covet. She moved through her life in a chaotic M.A.S.H. with dignity despite the antics around her. She knew who she was and what she wanted, and she was forced to work within a system that could not see her value until she forced it into view. So in honour of her absolutely terrible singing voice and unashamedly singing anyway..

This is the newest song I have on my playlist. It's brand new house music. At the time of posting it is 4 days old and sits at 255 views, so it is still hot off the presses.

Day 15: A song from the 20s

Seven decades of music by and for non racist traditional skinheads, brings us to the 2020s and arguably my current favorite punk band, street punk band, Oi! band and my favorite skinhead band. There is a lot to choose from, as Oi! Is making a comeback. The 45 Adaptors and Hub Cuty Stompers are still throwing it out here in dirty jersey. Tear Up, Heavy Discipline and a great Irish skinhead band called An Slua are ripping it up in bars and taverns all over the US, Europe and Asia.

But none are as good as The Chisel.

These guys have to throwback look and sound, yet somehow also updated.

They make me wanna throw beers, overturn tables, and jump into the circle pit. Haven’t seen them yet, they canceled the last half of their US tour last year. They have so many good songs that I couldn’t settle on one.

The Chisel - Cry Your Eyes Out

I've been listening to this singer a lot lately. I love her voice and her style. It was a tough call between this and another song of hers but ultimately the dancer's performance tipped the scales plus I used to write Free Dom all over my notebooks in elementary and middle school.

Free Dom - Dominique Fils-Aimé

Great music is timeless and can move people of all generations. I first heard snippets of Rhapsody in Blue in a television commercial for United Airlines, of all places. The little bit of music that they used absolutely moved me. Later on, when my daughter was in High School, she was involved in both the concert and marching band, It was also a very talented band, one of the members received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and others made the cut at other universities. Anyway, they built their field show around this Gershwin classic and absolutely brought the house down with every performance. They were good, but I think half of their scoring was the music itself.
Love your pick, Summer; it brings back a flood of some of my best memories.
