Some random comments: anyone remember Len? If there was ever a one-hit wonder band - that would be them. I bought (as probably hundreds of other people did) their album solely for the single "Steal My Sunshine", which I have to say is still a great song. It's one of those perfect pick-me-up-sunday-morning-drive-with-the-top-down-assuming-you-have-one songs. I was searching the net for the video and it turns out that TRL did in fact run a program featuring one-hit wonder bands and what do know ... you can catch the video here.
One band which was and still is (to my mind) one of the coolest acts around is Kula Shaker. I remember when they first burst onto the scene back in 1995, it was a complete breath of fresh air since no one else was playing their brand of music, which was heavily influenced by Indian culture/spiritualism and fused with Hendrix-esque guitar riffs that just rocked you outta your seat. Simply incredible stuff! Their first single "Tattva" captures all of that mysticism and psychedelic rock spirit. Check out the video here.
Unfortunately, the band came under the gun a few years later for comments made by their frontman (Crispin Mills) regarding Nazism. The negative publicity surrounding the incident hurt record sales but was not, apparently, the reason why the band broke up in 1999. The band later reformed in 2004 and have since released 2 new albums (Strangefolk and Pilgrim's Progress).
Ok, time to take a break and catch the Women's final of the French Open, which could be a historic event if Li Na wins. She would be the first Asian woman ever to win a Grand Slam so no pressure there! Jia You!
And the current CD count is:
183 albums
2,198 songs
Back in a bit ...
