Tonight, scrubbaging in the Danish basket of 7" vinyls, we happened to listen to . . .
Of Montreal, I was a Landscape in your
Dream (2004)
Thee Moths (Alex Botten), So Many
Different Suns (2010)
Lucky Pierre (Aidan Moffat) Sometimes I
feel Like a Motherless Child (2000)
The Moody Blues Night in White Satin
(1967)
Back in the day, music videos like this
could be seen in pubs on a Scopitone, the first of which were made in
France. Our Mike remembers seeing one (he would) in Jersey when he
was 12 (1963). I didn't know this:
Anti Vietnam war lyrics."Knights
in white satin, never reaching the end"...Soldiers that don't
make it to the end of their tour in Vietnam are returned in coffins
lined with white satin. "Letters
are written, never meaning to send"... soldiers write the
"letter home" in case they are killed and keep it in their
locker, hoping it is never sent. Hidden meaning at a time when the
censors wouldn't allow anti-war sentiment in any media.
Longpigs Blue Skies (1999)
George The Summer of Stars (1999)
Empress Drink the Town Dry (2003)
Rothko remix of Hefner's Alan Bean
(2001)
