Only one video today is from the Jools Holland show I just watched, the other is from the past but came to mind today.
First up, Tracey Thorn -- great voice, great hair, great dress. A thought popped into my head when I was watching her sing, something that may only occur to dentists; namely that if Tracey Thorn had grown up in America she'd look totally different. She probably would've had surgery to fix her underbite, which would've totally changed her face and look. Wonder what else would've changed about her then?
Second video is of Roni Size and Reprazent live on Jools back in '97. Just popped into my head that they may have been on the show, and they were. I saw them live in Detroit when they were touring this song and the album it came off (New Forms) and it was the only time I've seen music like this played live -- he was (and still is?) definitely an innovator when it came to live dance music. Sad when so many musicians and DJ's now are content to just fiddle around behind a macbook. Check out the set-up these guys had! Check out the size of the computer monitor and the black and white looking software they're running! Definitely took a lot of talent and work to make something like this come together back then.
