4? Not a Bandcamp purchase, but I found Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde in a used bin for cheap. CD is in like new condition. The title track is outstanding, and the rest is very listenable. Very happy with this.

Concrete Blonde at The Tip Top Cafe in Huntsville, Alabama.

Johnette Napolitano's
amazing voice was amazing, band was tight.

Small space, crowded but everyone respected each other's space that night, even the regular drunks.

The best audience for that band that night.

She gave her all and the audience gave their appreciation right back so strongly she was in tears of joy.

can't remember if 1980s or in the 1990s, so wonderful.

Concrete Blonde ~ Caroline

"...I never wonder where you went,
I only wonder why,
I wonder why
Oh Caroline..."

"Still in Hollywood" by Concrete Blonde is continuing the mood for me today. I love that riff.

Today's theme c/o @sharazluke is , so sing along with Johnette...

There's a crack in the mirror
and a bloodstain on the bed
Oh, you were a vampire
and baby, I'm the walking dead
I got the ways and means
to New Orleans
I'm going down by the river
where it's warm and green
I'm gonna have a drink
and walk around
I've got a lot to think about
Oh yeah

- (1990). Between the punkish thump of fellow LA bands like X and the sad timbre of 80s goth sat the music of Concrete Blonde. Johnette Napolitano’s resonant voice drove the band, aided by former Roxy Music drummer Paul Thompson. Moody offerings like “The Sky is a Poisonous Garden” and “Darkening of the Light” vie with the more pop-inflected “Caroline” and “Joey” (a ubiquitous hit of the pre-grunge era).

Song: Joey
Band: Concrete Blonde
Album: Bloodletting
Released: 1990
Video: youtu.be/OdpTcvSn8HQ

Lyrics

“Joey, baby - don't get crazy
Detours, fences, I get defensive

I know you've heard it all before
So I don't say it anymore
I just stand by and let you
Fight your secret war
And though I used to wonder why
I used to cry till I was dry
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside
Oh, Joey, if you're hurting so am I…”

I'll never not be heartbroken that the least compelling (or representative) song - Joey - seems to be their best known (often the only one people can identify as theirs.)

Drop your favourite(s) below (no judgement if it *is* Joey) - I'd love to see which tracks music fans know/love.

Loved this band and was privileged to see them play in Perth live

Song: The Sky is a Poisonous Garden
Band: Concrete Blonde
Album: Bloodletting 🌹
Released: 1990
Video: youtu.be/A4YMbyRlZNE

Lyrics

”She said please don't go.
Please don't go
And she cried and she died in his arms
And he cried nevermore
The moon is full, the stars are bright
And the sky is a poisonous garden
Tonight”

From Bloodletting, one of my very first CDs. I would blast this in my dorm room all the time. Lullabye - (1990, remastered) youtube.com/watch?v=HcplJOtOwD

Listening to on a nice drive today and I cannot believe how much I hear, especially in the bass lines. Never noticed it before, struck by it today, and wondering if there is a connection.

- Bloodletting -

🎶 they used to dance
in the garden in the
middle of the night
they were naked as
the day they were born
skin all bone-china white
oh you were a vampire
and I may never see the light 🎶

i’m listening to
♥️
* this song goes out to all who effing hate *
