Hey emfive, this is Alec. I am glad you like the mummy eating the bowl of shitty pasta with a can of 'parm.' I made that image for you way back when. I’m glad you enjoy it.
Some Streets of London:

Not sure I like this one - https://vimeo.com/33037888; kind-of pretty but it's incongruous.

The old ANL version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj3HBwp3cps is one I liked when I was a youth.

also youtube suggests https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bZzM4s0Hgs :v:

OK last one for now. Scott Walker stuff terrifies me and I really can't listen to very much at one go.

I think this is a political song because it's about social upheaval. Also it's awesome.

Another version, from probably 30 years or so later

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AXNRi4dtJYp everybody knows the words and that makes me cry like a tiny baby every time I watch this (especially when they get to Dove sarà). (The shot of the Atomium is a little weird.)

And here's the incomparable Francoise Hardy:

(The intro segment of this one is pretty :stare: ) Anyway when she starts singing in French I melt.

I have some curiosity about how Euro persons perceive this song. Is it like just the cheesiest thing ever? Like old stupid Elvis songs?

El cantante de Reincidentes, detenido en el aeropuerto de Miami

Madrid. (EFE).- El cantante y bajista de Reincidentes, Fernando Madina, fue detenido el pasado viernes en el aeropuerto de Miami, donde hacía escala junto al grupo para trasladarse a Quito (Ecuador) para ofrecer un concierto que tuvo que ser suspendido.

Las autoridades estadounidenses no han informado a la familia sobre la situación legal en la que se encuentra Madina, por lo que esta se mantiene a la espera de que la Embajada Española en Washington pueda obtener datos, han asegurado a Efe desde la oficina de representantes Attraction Management.

Una situación que han calificado de "vergonzosa", ya que no constaba ninguna denuncia contra él y Madina "no ha hecho nada para estar detenido", han asegurado.

Doce horas después de la detención de Madina, el resto de los integrantes del grupo se pusieron en contacto con las autoridades de inmigración del Estado de Florida, la policía aeroportuaria y la compañía aérea, entre otras instancias, con la intención de averiguar la situación legal en la que se encontraba el cantante.

Pasadas 48 horas, la familia denunció su desaparición a la Policía Nacional, sin que por el momento tengan nuevos datos sobre su detención, ha asegurado el representante en un comunicado.

El grupo Reincidentes se dirigía a Quito donde iba a ofrecer un concierto el sábado pasado en el XVIII Festival Mundial de la Juventud y los Estudiantes con el que iniciaba una gira de presentación de su último trabajo Aniversario que conmemora sus 30 años de carrera.

En el mismo comunicado, agradecen la comprensión y apoyo de la organización de este festival, en el que eran cabeza de cartel.

"Sentimos no haber podido participar con vosotros en este importante evento para la juventud de Latinoamérica", aseguraba el grupo en su cuenta oficial de Facebook.

Detained in Miami by immigration or TSA or whatever for unknown reasons. The band was on its way to :siren: Ecuador :siren: last week (Friday I think). If I were a non-American and I thought the US might not like me I'd try pretty hard not to transit through US airports.

[edit] wow the comments on their last Facebook update read like an LF thread (in Spanish) ...

[edit] apparently he was just drunk or something in the airport
