And here's Nimbooda Nimbooda, one of the fine Bollywood choreography dances of the 90s.

Okay, since Mean Mary didn't get the accolades she deserves, we'll try Carolina Chocolate Drops now, with a song I have to 'fess up to as speaking to me:

Once you're all rural then it's a shared experience that urban areas will never understand.

Carolina Chocolate Drops hits a bit more Southern-drawly than my usual fare, but I can still dig it. Iron Horse is more my speed (hehe)...The train-song genre of stuff always makes me a bit teary-eyed in general whether the topic is man vs. machine (Cash has a song on John Henry that's worth a listen folks), the machine conquering nature (whether it's lamenting or lauding that), or the rust-belting of old vs. new (City of New Orleans).

I'm going to pull a bit of a fast one--usually when this group gets referenced there's a particular song that is referenced. If anybody hasn't listened to 'Highwayman' by The Highwaymen (Cash, Nelson, Jennings and Kristofferson), go and do it. It's one that's very rightly remembered.
One that's very similar to it in theme and message (and tune/tone, honestly) that I actually prefer, however, is 'American Remains':

Can't rightly articulate why, now that I think about it. I suppose because it's more explicitly optimistic/hopeful in it's presentation? Something of the same reason I love the final verse or so of 'Highwayman', there's a more explicitly optimistic/hopeful sentiment throughout 'American Remains'?

Massive genre-shift!


One I can blame @Vyor for referring to me because I was previously unaware of their existence, this is a band that I can sheepishly admit to having listened to a lot over the last few weeks after tracking down their stuff (and will probably be a hunting-camp staple :p ). My usual main gripe with heavy metal is that it's somewhat hard to rhythmically dance to (headbanging just doesn't count) because it's just not 'pop-y' enough, but that's one Beast in Black and their predecessor Battle Beast both solve by...I dunnow, making a metal-y 80s, synth-pop-y mashup?


Kind've.
The neon-future cyberpunk envisioned by the 80s, perhaps more like:


I can't help it. I have a thing for synthesizers! And cheesy techno! I can't speak to everything else by Perturbator, but the general genre of 'synthwave', retrowave...whatever the hell it's being called this week because I swear to god it changes based on who's describing it...I love it. But that's probably heavily affected by my adoration for the '80s'...stereotype? Popular conception? The leg-warmers and aerobic-exercise 80s that only really exists in peoples minds but was something of a thing in a way.


Purely self-servicing hipster-cred preening here, but one artist I'm reasonably certain never gets much pointing-to, at least in the US, and that I think deserves it to at least some degree is Lou Bonnevie. If you have at all any kind of appreciation for that kind of pop-rocky 80s stuff, she's a fun listen.

Well, brilliant then. Thank you for sharing the collection of their songs.



A friend of mine once shared this song with me, which was what introduced them to me.
