Housesitting my mother’s house and my sister took the computer from there without telling me, so no internet. It’s funny how much i rely on it, especially in that it’s all i was planning to do. If i had known i would have planned otherwise. Yard work, pawing through old photos, a walk, patting cats [...]

Million Tears
Posted in Pastels on September 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Million tears – The Pastels Speaking of songs with a million versions. I posted the 12″ version before, so this time it will be the Kid Jensen session version from 1984. Unnecessary, but hey it exists and some of us find it thrilling that it does. Yes, i’m really cool…
Something Going On

Something Going On – The Pastels I watched Upside Down: The Creation Records Story last night and of course it wasn’t good enough for me. It wasn’t made for me. It should have been called “Breezy excerpts from the Creation Records story: Catalogue numbers 12, 15, 55, 57, 70, 73, 87, 96… blah, etc. with [...]

Million tears – The Pastels ? and the Mysterians sang of 96 tears, an oddly specific number that carries in its specificity that those tears were indeed real, tallied, felt, cried. The Pastels in 1984 raised the lachrymatorial ante: One million tears. Who’s to say that number is any less calculated than the Mysterians’? Is [...]

Supposed to understand – The Pastels Doo-be-doo Doo-be-doo Ba Ba Ba-da-da. Apparently that’s sung by the girls from Strawberry Switchblade, which, only knowing them from Since Yesterday and Trees and Flowers, i find incredible. I thought it was Aggi, and was all ready to attribute the greatest backing vocals in the history of music and [...]
Stay With Me Till Morning

Stay with me till morning – The Pastels Yeah. This is nice. Exactly the kind of yearning, lost, pathetic, salvation found in one certain person detachment i want to carry myself with today.
Heavens Above

Heavens above – The Pastels “Ba baa ba ba badadada That’s love. Ba baa ba ba badadada Heavens above.“ From the first Pastels record, the Songs For Children 7″, which as the singer from the Pooh Sticks has on tape, i have on mp3. “Pure popcorn,” as Stephen himself says. Sublime, dumb, brilliant, above (though [...]
