Musings on the byways of popular culture
I’m a huge fan, back as far as ‘Til Tuesday and
I’ve had this new release for a few days now and its the kind of grown-up ballad which she does so much better than many of her contemporaries..( See also Mr Harris and many others.)
It’s a bit of a downer, but hey, no-one’s getting any younger and the world is mostly governed by embarrassments and we’re in the worst crisis any of us have ever seen,so fair enough really..
Another big fan from the ‘Til Tuesday days, and to cheer you up (but really any excuse to post this), here’s “Coming Up Close” which to this day is still one of my all time favourite songs……
Likewise this, which is just one of many reasons to love Aimee Mann. Looking forward to the new album.
Hurrah! Always good to hear new Aimee stuff. Excellent as ever.
What with the new Andy Partridge EP, this has been a great week for me. It did give me pause that this video has been released, heralding the new album… out in November. November! There’s drumming up interest, and there’s pointing to a spot on the horizon.
That said, AM is one of the greats and I will be joining the queue.
Talking about XTC and Aimee Mann, weren’t Aimee and Dave Gregory out of XTC once … you know …. an item?
They were. It’s mentioned in the Song Stories book – [inbetween Nonsuch and Apple Venus] “Dave Gregory bought several guitars and a new but modest house and fell in and out of love with Aimee Mann”. And they got Andy Partridge up for his last public performance – a version of ‘Collideascope’ with her band.
Another fun fact folks might not know: Squeeze’s ‘Daphne’ is about Aimee Mann, written when they were working together and Chris Difford developed a crush on her.
I did not know that, but it isn’t one of Squeeze’s better albums. I saw them several times on that tour and they were much better live.
Previous album Some Fantastic Place was, well, fantastic, and the following Domino was awful.
