MUSIC VIDEO: Saint Etienne – ‘Nothing Can Stop Us Now’ – 1991
This British trio has managed to successfully infuse amazing modern dance club music with the spirit of 1963 over a period that spans twenty years.
I was fortunate enough to have seen them play their very first US performance in New York City (with Grant Lee Buffalo and American Music Club) at the Manhattan Center Ballroom on September 23, 1994. Saint Etienne was reported at the time to have been very unhappy with how the show went, but I remember having loved it.
This band has released so many fabulous albums, that I consider them to be one of my all-time favorite groups. I recently attempted to burn some of their best tracks for someone only to realize there was no way I could fit them all onto a regular 80 minute CD. Seriously, how many bands from the last 20 years can you say that about?
This song, “Nothing Can Stop Us Now,” is from their very first album, FOXBASE ALPHA. Approaching its twentieth birthday, I think you’ll agree that this tune is timeless.
ENJOY:
For Neil Young Fans out there, who happen to enjoy dance music, you’ll absolutely adore this Saint Etienne cover of his song “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” — also from FOXBASE ALPHA.
Either of the above songs, or the entire FOXBASE ALPHA album, can be downloaded here: 
Video: PULP Perform ‘I Spy’ Live on Jools Holland Show — 1995
Britain’s Jarvis Cocker of Pulp is one of the greatest lyricists, songwriters, performers to somehow duck the American marketplace. ‘Different Class’ is in my personal Top Ten ‘greatest albums of all time’ list. Released in 1995, the album rose to #1 in the UK Album Charts, spawning four top 10 singles, including the immensely popular “Common People”.
‘Different Class’ is one of those timeless albums befitting any serious record collection. It is that good.
Here, Pulp perform the exceptional “I Spy” on the Jools Holland Show in 1995 — at the peak of their popularity.
Enjoy!
The song, “I Spy”, or its full-length album, ‘Different Class’ can be downloaded here:
An Emotional Paul McCartney Plays ‘My Love’ For Linda On Anniversary Of Her Passing
Here’s a touching video of Paul performing the love song he wrote for Linda, ‘My Love,’ at the Coachella Music Festival on April 17, 2009, the anniversary of her passing. What an amazing song, and such an emotional heartfelt moment for someone to have caught on video. Watch: The single “My Love” by Paul McCartney [...]
Watch: The Cars Perform ‘Heartbeat City’ @ Live Aid 1985
Here’s a favorite Cars song of mine — not as recognizable as some of their hits, although it should be. I was in Paris when Live Aid was happening, and my brother and I were watching a rabbit-ear antenna’d static-prone TV set in a hotel — unable to understand the French dialogue between the songs, [...]
Happy Holidays To The World! Band Aid Perform ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’
Whoever you are, whatever your beliefs, whatever is your situation, I wish every single one of you happiness and good health this Holiday Season, and beyond! Please don’t forget to notice those who’ve fallen on hard times — the less fortunate amongst us — and don’t allow them to become the invisible. Please help them [...]
Watch: Roxy Music “Same Old Scene”
Here’s one of my all-time favorites. Each time I hear that intro, it’s like an instant flashback into a different world — namely, my youth. I was fortunate enough to have seen Bryan Ferry play live around 1989-1990 with my brother — a show I’ll never forget. Fantastic! From the album Flesh and Blood, here’s [...]

Watch: Curtis Mayfield Performs ‘Move On Up’ Live @ The Hague, 1987
‘Move On Up’ is one of the best songs ever written. Curtis Mayfield was the master of socially-aware, inspirational music, and his live performances were as tight and emotional as his studio recordings. His music was and still is loved and covered by artists from all over the world. Here he was in 1987 playing [...]
Watch: Everything But The Girl Perform ‘Before Today’ Live In London ’99
I’ve been a long-time fan of Everything But the Girl. They have an endless discography of great songs; always managing to keep it fresh by allowing their sound to evolve quite dramatically with the times. Their early sound had a jazzy, French Cafe-ish feel — not unlike the Style Council (another favorite of mine) — [...]
