always in los ang eles


"Los Angeles" by Frank Black and the Catholics.

Two virtuosos, one song. Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV, AKA Black Francis, shows an extraordinary versatility and great vocal control in this song that became his debut solo single in 1993, after the first breakup in the Pixies. Curiously, Angeles is pronounced with a strong G with no apparent explanation. However, there was a certain generation of immigrants who pronounced "Ang'elez" until close to 100 years ago. In 1994, Frank Black joined Lyle Workman in his band, later named "The Catholics". In the 1st video of this post, we can appreciate the excellence of Lyle Workman's guitar solo. Unfortunately, only one record was released with Lyle Workman playing on that song, in a poor version of the live album Black Session. Lyle Workman is a multifaceted songwriter, record producer and musician who composes music for cinema and has performed with numerous artists such as: Sting, Bryan Adams, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette, Ziggy Marley, Lisa Marie Presley and many more. He could be a pop star. He chose to be in music this way.
Below, the second part of the song as it was recorded originally:

KoM 13 years


And this blog is 13 years old today.
It started due to the end of a forum (a pre-historical social network) were I and other friends used to share music and to talk about music.
Now, only one person is still active here but, maybe because of this pandemic, this blog never had such a huge audience, one of the reasons why it is still alive.
Here's the most watched posts:
And let's celebrate this 13th Anniversary with the amazing Nr 13 Baby from the Pixies also followed by the incredible "River Euphrates"

and also followed by the thrilling "Isla de Encanta" and the very special "Hey".

"We're chained" :)

pixies in party


With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse and you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind
Way out in the water
See it swimming

I saw swimming in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
But he told me he swears he tried to talk to me
...
Big hug Pammy
:-)
