Squirrels Dancing Among Elephants has a motorik groove that I thoroughly approve of. Yuss!

I've managed to constantly forget to post this for two weeks now but

Happy (belated) 40th anniversary to David Stewart (the other one) and Barbara Gaskins' none-more-'80s deconstruction of "It's My Party" inexplicably topping the UK charts

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 5:08 am

I love that version, I think I was familiar with it before hearing the original. It's mad how adventurous the UK charts were in the early 80s - 1981 was the same year O Superman got to number 2, and a year later this was on Top Of The Pops.

An Unicorn · Post by **An Unicorn** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 3:11 pm

I came into this from the "Canterbury Scene"--a sort of small circle of musicians who ran along a parallel path of prog-psychedelic monsters of the late '60s but never quite lost that whimsy or took themselves so seriously as a Floyd or a Yes or a E/L/P

And I was amazed to see these artists who had spent a decade as technically proficient on the fringes of experimental jazz-prog-folk-neo-classical-avant-noise-everything also cross over onto the Top Of The Pops with a cover of a teenybopper classic like Dave&Barb there or everyone's favorite communist Robert Wyatt with the Monkees' "I'm A Believer" (take THAT, Smashmouth!). And then they'd go right back to aggressively experimental madness.

I was also surprised to discover that they had influenced huge pop acts in the UK like Tears For Fears (cf. their surprisingly faithful cover of Wyatt's Sea Song) but remained virtually unknown in the US.

Experimentation has now been banned as it is considered unpatriotic

I assume Robert Wyatt is a prominent influence in your embeardening

I'm rather taken with this indie ditty:

Coach Party: FLAG (Feel Like A Girl)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxyo5ZXoBgQ

But I really like it in conjunction with that Georgian-ish-period-set video. It's very basic, and some of the camera zooms put me in mind of an 80s-style pop video, but I just dig that song/video combo.

The duo did some other interesting/decent stuff too, including this, which I'm particularly fond of:

I love all their stuff. It's got such a perfect so-dated-its-timeless sound and Barb's voice always gives me goosebumps.

I've never heard of this other dave stewart somehow. how odd

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Mon Nov 01, 2021 2:23 pm

I kept getting the two of them confused for ages. I think there is another Dave Stewart who did music for Victor Lewis-Smith's programmes, or maybe it's the same one as above.

Wait, which English keyboardist Dave Stewart who formed a synth pop duo with his then-girlfriend as the singer is the other Dave Stewart?

I am reliably informed that the Puddle of Mudd cover of About A Girl is still available (but unlisted) on YouTube, should you wish to view it again.

actually i was being intentionally obtsue (although reading it back it also sounds weirdly aggressive, which wasn't my intention obviously).

I meant I'd never heard of this "its my party" dave stewart for some reason (even though i think i've heard that version of that song before probably)

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Nov 02, 2021 12:20 am

Didn't one of the Dave Stewarts rebrand themselves as Dave A Stewart?

There was also a Dave Stewart who played in goal for Leeds Utd, but I don't believe he had much input into 'There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart).

I'd figured as much, I was just having fun with how similar their paths to fame were.

I can't remember if I had before mentioned that, prior to the solo duo career with Barb, Dave "Party" Stewart was a member of EGG

oh wait they aren't all 2 and half hours long because one of them is 3 hours long

Got onto the second episode now where George comes back. Genuine belly laugh when Mal Evans brings in Magic Alex's prototype "invention" to show them. Can't quite work out why they kept him around-they clearly know he's a charlatan who is ripping them off.
