Well these goodies arrived today just in time for weekend listening (with thanks to @dnanian ) #lloydcole #elvinjones #nowspinning #NowPlaying #NowListening #Vinyl #VinylRecords #vinylcollection @vinylrecords

My daughter's Y9 'activities week' is a series of day trips by coach. Same age, I took a boombox (small, red plastic tape recorder from Currys) to the birthplace of the Bard and literally played this on repeat. On my shoulder. Whilst smoking menthol cigarettes.

Lloyd Cole and The Commotions - Rattlesnakes (1984)

¿Ir a la feria del libro? ¿Al encuentro con la cultura? ¿Con este frío? Tendrá que esperar, hoy pintó jangle pop y ganó la vagancia. Está muy pero muy cuidado, un verdadero manjar acústico. No se pierdan Charlotte Street, Are you ready to be heartbroken. Y si leen las letras, Cole mandó muchas refes literarias (Joan Didion, Norman Mailer, Simone de Beauvoir). Al final ligamos unos libros de rebote.

🎧 #EvaMarieSaint stars in "North by Northwest" screening now @ TCM.

When I see her or hear her name, my mind hyperlinks to

"She looks like Eva Marie Saint in
'On the 'Waterfront'
As she reads Simone de Beauvoir In her American circumstance"

#LloydCole's songs referenced literature, psychology, cinema and philosophy. I met his music though a British fanboy friend who thought them perfect. Yes.

"Rattlesnakes" (1984).

Lloyd Cole has a new single. This version was remixed by Martyn Ware (Human League, Heaven 17). Lloyd appeared as a guest on Ware's "Electronically Yours" podcast last year. Lloyd used an AI image generator to make the images that went into the video.

🎧 One of my favorite lyrics:

"On the 'Waterfront"
As she reads Simone de Beauvoir In her American circumstance

#LloydCole read English and Philosophy at #UniversityofGlasgow where he met his band mates. His pop songs made references to literature, psychology, cinema and philosophy. I met his songs though a British fanboy friend who thought them perfect. Yes.

"Rattlesnakes" (1984).

Song of the Day - No 66

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions - Lost Weekend

WIKI
Released in 1985. It's a melancholic yet upbeat tune with lyrics that reflect on the feeling of being lost and searching for direction in life. The song's jangling guitars and memorable chorus have made it a staple of 80s indie pop. Over the years, it has received critical acclaim and has been included in numerous "best of" lists.

Today's #PopQuiz answer

1 Period Piece by #LloydCole
2 Kreuzberg by #BlocParty
3 Heroes by #DavidBowie

All songs reference the Berlin Wall

Lloyd Cole’s whole song is from the wall's perspective - ‘born 1961 just like you/155,000 meters - neither straight or true”

Bloc Party - “there is a wall that runs right through me/Just like this city”

Bowie famously sings about a couple kissing against the wall while the guns shot above their head

@knittedhippo answered correctly

Lloyd Cole, as in and the Commotions, is 62 today, so here's a #postcard showing Glasgow University, where he studied Law and Philosophy and met his future bandmates.

Typed on the back of the card: "On a wet day one dives in here, when going from one class to another"
