Can't decide which one I like more, hers or Gazebo's original. It's one haunting song, and the video for Kobayashi's version is pretty creepy. The inclusion of Megumi Shina's "Konya wa Angel" was kind of ironic. I just passed by the EP of the single at a local music shop the other day. Yep, it does sound Western like Marcos said, and it's a nice piece of power pop with beautiful vocals.
BaBe's cover of "Give Me Up" is one of the first 80's idol songs I've heard and will always have a special place in my heart. I think the girls' vocals fit it to the notch and make it sound more like a J-Idol song than a Western hit. Love the choreography, too. Another cover I liked a lot was "I Heard a Rumor", though it would be better as a studio version since Mayumi's live vocals are shaky.
And of course, "Love Comes Quickly" is a winner, but the original is so great that my instinct just tells me that any cover is inferior. But, in the end, it was nothing new. The image, like I said, was naturally conservative, without any trace of rebellion, which was something very present in the New Romantics movement with the androgynous look defying masculinity stereotypes. Yes, I definitely there was an "overground railroad" of sorts when it came to the ease of adapting Eurobeat songs for Japanese singers.
The Stock-Aitken-Waterman discography was very much ear candy to the masses: nothing nutritious at all but tasty to eat all the same. For the aidoru-producing assembly line companies of that time, all those songs must have seemed like welcome foreign manna from heaven.
On the other hand, the artists who could have been compared at all to bands like The Human League and New Order My impression of the New Romantics movement pre-fancy suits era Spandau Ballet, etc. I don't recall seeing it taking all that much hold in the United States. Here in Canada, it was somewhat more known since both British and US pop music were quite popular.
I regret that I cannot un-see some of those Boys , and YMO had some dallying around with eye shadow and blusher during their concerts.
In my opinion, they were paying more attention to 90s Eurodance and, in some degree, to Eurobeat imported directly from Italy than to the old styled synthpop genre. While Tommy February6 comes from the early s and likes to emulate the late 80s sound, especially SAW, Perfume masterminded by Yasutaka Nakata, of course , otherwise, was, without a doubt, the starting point of the new Japanese electro sound.
Fair enough, it all started when Yasutaka Nakata dropped the old Shibuya-key sound in favor of electro house and club sounds around and Of this bunch, only Perfume survived. Morning Musume, for example changed their whole style in favor of EDM. Feel free to provide any comments pro or con. Just be civil about it. Credits I would like to give credit where credit is due. Videos are from YouTube and other sources such as NicoNico while Oricon rankings and other information are translated from the Japanese Wikipedia unless noted.
While most of these CDs generally covered most of the major and well-known J-Pop songs of the 80s, this particular compilation I thought was pretty unique in that it featured a near-complete compilation of all the Japanese covers of various European and American pop songs from the 80s.
While the CD title says "80's" collection, it is a bit of a misnomer as there a few songs included in this two-disc CD set that are from the 70s and at least one song from the early 90s.
Yet what I like about the "J-Cover 80's" set is that it not only covers those well known songs but also includes the minor and obscure covers that may not be as well known. Orange's "Psychic Magic" The song topped the Oricon charts reaching No. It would be a moderate hit for her but Kobayashi would not continue her musical pursuits opting instead to become an actress.
There's also a nearly 9 minute "Long Version" of the song with a slightly different arrangement. My favorite alternate cover has to be by the J-Rock group Kra , who put a gothic "Visual Kei" spin on the song. According to the great linear notes of the CD set, this was not surprising considering that Narita was in fact one of the owners of the Maharaja Club he specifically took voice lessons to sing the song.
It certainly made for an interesting promotional gimmick for the club. This was one of two songs from Fortunati that were adapted and covered in Japan. There is no dispute however that this show took place, just not the recording is of this show. At the end of Get On Their Way at the 30 Jan 81 show, Stipe says that was the first time they've played that - and sounds very basic as well - they called it Get On Back Home - therefore it is an older set than the 30 Jan show.
This show can be found on the vinyl bootlegs "Georgia Peaches - Ripe! After hearing the new version, it's now my view Burning Down should be second in the setlist, and not after Action.
These tracks were recorded for R. Also on the cassette are small clips of the fast version of 'Sitting Still', and the first take of White Tornado, which is halted half way through due to some wrong notes by Peter Buck.
About copies of the set were produced. They bring with them the two versions of 'Radio Free Europe', the one mixed by Hibbert, and the other mixed by Easter, and use the studio to decide which one to put on the Hib-Tone single.
Hibbert's mix wins and can be found on the original Hib-Tone single. Easter's mix can be found on the Eponymous album.
From the Q magazine R. We got five encores and people were throwing their metal dildos onstage'". July - Club Numbers, Houston, TX notes: The band were forced to play a version of 'Whole Lotta Love' for six people glowering at the band from the urine soaked dancefloor. Gardening At Night was released on Eponymous. Shaking Through is available on Essential Demos Vol. Maybe eight. F', minus Stumble and Carnival Of Sorts. The bootleg lists the date as 31 March , but is in fact this date.
In return members of Let's Active join R. For those with a copy of the show, Gardening At Night is cut off due to the taper accidentally recording over the end of REM's set with another artist, hence set 2 being incomplete as well.
It's fairly safe to assume and Windout would have followed, with Radio Free Europe or Skank likely to end the set. We played to twenty people on Thanksgiving , and every one of them came up to us afterwards and invited us to their house for a party".
From the tape I've heard I think he's accurate in his crowd count. Despite Peter's fond memories, there still seems to be a lot of heckling occurring through the show. Before 'Permanent Vacation' he adds 'We ain't faggots, we're Georgians'. During '', half the audience seems to invade the stage, and some person can be heard howling into the microphone.
When the song is over, Michael can be heard to say 'who the fuck are you? After 'Windout' he then says 'if anyone else wants to dance on stage you have to ask first'. As if Skank wasn't an unusual song already, on this occasion Stipe's lyric consisted of the phrase 'The opposite of plethora is dearth' for the most of the song, but not before someone in the audience managed to scream into the microphone 'come to Ann Arbor, Michigan! In an interview a year later, Michael and Peter claimed that they accidentally hurtled themselves towards the drums, resulting in the drums, Bill, Michael and Peter all falling 10 feet off the stage onto 3 unsuspecting people, who being hardcore, loved it.
Michael then claimed they stole Peter's shoes and made him sign them. Whether this is true, or something made up during a dull interview you can decide. Unless it happened before the show started being recorded, it isn't audible to my ears! Later that night after the venue closed Tyrone's burns down due to a faulty heater.
Mike later commented that one thing that did survive the fire was his bar tab. I've seen some lists claiming it's either an early version of Talk About The Passion or Pilgrimage, but personally I think it sounds nothing like them and is a song in its own right. This show is listed on that boot as being at the 40 Watt Club in Athens in January , however this is the correct date and location.
I think this would have far exceeded the capacity of any place they had played as headliners prior to that. Drive-in Studio notes: Easter remixes versions of 1,, and Stumble, which were recorded on 3 October After a false start on 'West Of The Fields' after a minute or so, Bill announces that is their longest song. First known performance of 'Pilgrimage'. Apparently as it was a Safari theme night, R.
It's not known what other songs were played. Between Boxcars and White Tornado the drum machine is turned on and the opening chords of Perfect Circle are played, however after a little while the song is aborted and not attempted again. It also contains the first known live performance of Perfect Circle complete with drum machine. This show can be found on the CD bootleg "Do the Strand", which includes a version of the song 'Crazy' from another performance.
They were so rude to us. They made us move our drums closer to the front of the stage so we couldn't move. The cymbals kept hitting me in the back all night long. We just cooked, walked off stage and said, 'Follow that! August - San Diego, CA notes: This was the opening show of their west coast tour, in a bar with about 40 people in attendance. The actual date would be somewhere between the 9th and 18th of August.
August - Galactica , Sacramento, CA. The boos started by the 2nd song, when the crowd realized it wasn't just an opener, it was the act itself, and Michael Stipe was onstage acting rather gay.
At first it was boos, but then in the third song it started with cups of beer and then various small objects were thrown at Stipe on the stage, with some striking him square on the cheek. September - The Drumstick, Lincoln, NE support: Let's Active notes: While not sure of the exact date, it is thought this show is close to the Minneapolis show below. No stage. You do a soundcheck and there are families eating, and they're putting hot dog buns in their ears so they don't hear you'". I remember when I was a kid, staying over at a friend's house, going to Mass the next day, and celebrating afterward with a pattie melt at the Drumstick when it was purely a chicken restaurant.
The Lohmeiers had a kid, Tim, with stars in his eyes and a beer in his fist. He grew up, commandeered the place in the night hours, used the other definition of the name, and proceeded to make local history. Everyone who was anyone went through there. The building was razed and replaced with a McDonald's around As Mills says, you might have thought it was hip and trendy, and it was, in a way The place was done up in old brown drapes and wagon wheel chandeliers.
