Hey all. Apologies for the slowdown. Holidays, and all...I've been busy, etc. I do have some stuff in the works, and some of the numbingly predictable "year-end" content one normally expects on blogs of this kind ... does anyone really care what my favorite albums of the year were?
Anyway, while you're waiting breathlessly for that, here's a little something I spotted this morning that I feel is well worth sharing.
As gimmicks go, this seems pretty tired, but -- trust me -- it works *WAY* better than it has any right to. Here's the official description.
New Order's Blue Monday was released on 7 March 1983, and its cutting-edge electronic groove changed pop music forever. But what would it have sounded like if it had been made 50 years earlier? In a special film, using only instruments available in the 1930s - from the theremin and musical saw to the harmonium and prepared piano - the mysterious Orkestra Obsolete present this classic track as you've never heard it before.
Watch and enjoy...
