I've been tentatively exploring the world of music from Latin America, as part of my interest in learning Spanish and in spending more time in that part of the world (eventually).
As part of that exploration, I've been spending much more time in Calle 24, mostly because it has my fave restaurants, and also because it has a fantastic vinyl record store that specializes in music from Latin America and the Caribbean.
We Got The Beat b/w How Much More by Go-Go’s (1980)
Original U.K. recording on Stiff Records. Later rerecorded for inclusion on their album Beauty and the Beat. The latter version made it to number 2 on the U.S. charts.
Originally an L.A. punk band, after a couple of lineup changes, they veered toward their well-known power pop sound and became very successful (and with staying power; they’re still together). Written by Charlotte Caffey, We Got The Beat marked the beginning of their switch away from a more punk sound.
This initial version of the single was released as part of their 1980 UK tour with Madness and the Specials.
Some people are going to think this is blasphemy, but I honestly listen to #TheGoodLife albums more than #Cursive albums. Both are essential listening, but something about releases from #TimKasher and The Good Life just speak to me.
Catholic Church representatives were before the Standing Senate Committee on Indigenous Peoples Nov. 7 to provide information on the transfer of records pertaining to the children who attended residential schools.
Two weeks ago, Senators were shocked to hear of the barriers that were being put up from accessing those records, but the committee didn’t seem too eager to push the matter.
Justice #Engoron issued a limited #GagOrder after #Trump posted disparaging comments on social media about the judge’s #LawClerk.
Trump violated the order 2X (so far). Last Fri, the judge was forced to extend the gag order to Trump’s attys when they took over the abuse after trump’s had to stop.
