The second film in the Yokai Monsters series couldn’t help but not be as surprising as the first, but I found it as, if not more, enjoyable. Sometimes it feels like a kids’ movie, then the blood starts flowing and it brings you back in. Great ending sequence!
I have lists of 100s of albums to listen to, so if you mentioned this to me, thanks! I write down bands and records and sometimes it takes me years before I hear them.
The Saints are an Australian band that go all the way back to 1973. Their first album (I’m) Stranded was released in 1976 and sounds a little like The New York Dolls and a little like the Stooges. Fiery rock!
Speaking of hot stuff, I listened to this Italian disco album while cooking this week. D’Angiò tends to go for either an almost frightening falsetto or a Serge Gainsbourg “sexy” voice. Some fun basslines.
A new playlist is available for those interested: McClurg’s Musicalia #12: So them were my thoughts. Some new releases from Abracadabra, Blackploid, and Alessia Obino and some classics from the artists mentioned above.
