Here's some super slinky 70s stuff from Glass Candy, a cover of Herb Alpert's classic. Glass Candy always manage to stay just the right side of the line- they skirt it pretty close sometimes- but make no mistake, this is class. Listening to this I feel like I should be reclining in my 25th floor New York apartment overlooking Central Park, in one of those suspended plastic bowl seats, with a large weighty tumbler in my hand (spirits splashed over ice), while my girlfriend lounges in a see-through nightie idly flicking through Cosmopolitan. I am wearing polyester flares and a polo-neck, smoking. A chimp plays the trumpet.
That's a brilliant picture you've painted there - I see it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteYes, slinky, silky, strong coffee cool.
Pure Sex! Really, really great track!
ReplyDelete... but instead we're stuck here in Europe where it's pouring with rain without cessation when I look out the window of the house which I'm desperately trying to pay off each and every month whilst the wife is downstairs wearing an old jumper and watching silly nonsense on the telly and I'm drinking awful tea which doesn't help the slightest about the flu I'm currently having ...
ReplyDeleteAah well, I better put on some Joy Division instead!
That's the problem with the whole fantasy/reality thing

New track from them, crosses that line a bit I think

I had skipped right to the track before I read your description. I thought it sounded like Air scoring the final track for a 70's thriller, but your description was pure poetry. Great track too.
