Swing Out Sister - "Something Every Day"

Here's the third new tune from Swing Out Sister's forthcoming new album, Beautiful Mess. This video of "Something Every Day" was posted by Andy to the Swing Out Myspace page after it started showing up on Youtube in lower quality.



According to Andy's post:
"The clip was directed by the very talented animation specialist Paul Dunkley, using photography by our long-term collaborator, and all-round good bloke, Mr.James Martin.."



Beautiful Mess will be released on February 27th by Avex Records in Japan, with worldwide release to follow, no specifics yet on a U.S. release, however Andy just posted a link by which to mailorder the CD directly from the band. Just click over to the Swing Out Myspace page and the purchase link is on today's blog which also includes this explanation from Andy:

Beautiful Mess - availability..

With the Japanese release of Beautiful Mess just around the corner, I've recently been checking out the various online retailers and have, as usual, been fairly horrified at the import price that enthusiastic listeners, from Europe and America in particular, would have to pay to get hold of a copy. Amazon UK want £20, and in the US quotes seem to range from around $30 to a frankly bizarre $60 at Amazon US.

With this in mind, and while we don't as yet have domestic releases in place, I thought we'd offer a service similar to what we did with the Live in Tokyo album. We have a limited number of autographed copies of the album, identical to the Japanese release, with the same artwork, apart from the fact that they come in an eco-friendly card wallet as opposed to the jewel case of the Japanese version, and so do not contain the inside liner notes. As for price, again I'm thinking along the same lines as we did with LIT, ie £10 (or equivalent) per copy, inclusive of postage and packaging.

So, if anyone is interested in getting hold of an early copy at a rather more reasonable price than those currently quoted, or if you'd simply prefer to think that your hard-earned cash was going more directly towards benefitting the band itself rather than some international transportation company, then, by all means, buy now..

Remembering the Main Point, 1964 - 1981

WXPN Most Memorable Musical Moment #5 Begining in 1964, The Main Point in Bryn Mawr provided the Philadelphia area with one of its most enjoyable venues for live music. Although it started as a folk based coffeehouse, all styles of music were presented over the years. Financial problems continually plagued the Main Point, and in spite of frequent benefit shows by artists who loved the place as much as the audience, the club finally closed in 1981. The following brief history is contained in an obituary of Jeanette O. Campbell, one of the founders and owners of the Main Point who died on October 22, 2006, written by Philadelphia Inquirer Staff Writer Sally A. Downey as reprinted on the Save Ardmore Coalition website. Jeanette Orndoff Campbell, 89, former owner of the Main Point, a music hall in Bryn Mawr where young talents including Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt and James Taylor were introduced to local audiences, died of complications from hip surgery Oct. 22 at Stap

Cream and Blind Faith at the Spectrum, Philadelphia, 1968 & 1969

WXPN Most Memorable Musical Moment #3 (L-R) Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, & Eric Clapton I could not have foreseen it at the time, but looking back on a concert going history now entering it's fifth decade, my first three concerts were absolutely formative in the development of the music obsession that has driven life as we know it from that point forward. Attending a rock concert pre drivers license was no small feat, that I even got to these shows is the first indication that I knew I was onto something even if I couldn't quite explain it. I've already detailed my first concert (The Beatles at JFK Stadium) in my MMMM#1 . My second and third concerts took place at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, they were less than a year apart, and due to the fact that concerts never end at the time predicted, these concert experiences both ended with a very angry driver stuck waiting in the car outside the venue until the last encore had finished. I shot both concerts with the same starter

And We Danced - Filming the Hooters Video, 7/27/85

Image
WXPN Most Memorable Musical Moment #4 "And We Danced" (picture sleeve above) was released in 1985 as the second single from the album, Nervous Night , the Hooters' major label debut for Columbia Records. Here's the video. The call went out to the Hooters' mailing list the last week of July 1985 that an audience with cars would be needed on the coming Saturday for a video shoot. Participants would report to the Exton Drive-In by late morning and be prepared to stay all day until after dark. This stage set, early in the day, was a warm-up for the crowd and probably a dry run for the production team for the night-time performance to be filmed later. The banner backdrop does not appear in the video. Some of the antique and custom cars that were on hand for the shoot. The production crew prepares the ticket booth for its shot.
