This past Tuesday I did a post about labeling (referring to the newscaster that said a “woman” firefighter instead of just firefighter). Well just today on the news, in Atlanta they are getting rid of all the “Men at Work” signs and replacing them with “Workers Ahead”…I love it! That’s one small step for woman, one giant leap for womankind!

Men At Work - It's a Mistake

Enjoy.

P.S. Any electronic music nuts who want the Andy Page remix of the song, check out Hybridized and look for the Hybrid's set in Canberra from March 2004. It's in there.

Cheers.

The electric-department's men were seen on the spot after the incident, they were pulling out the twisted electric pole and they cut the dangling live wires.

After two days, MTS men very unprofessionally and unqualifiedly blocked the main modeltown-Township Link road without any indication of either "men at work" or any "alternate rout" signs. This caused a LOT of inconvenience to the residents and the pass through traffic.

And even after the full day road block and all that sinkhole earth filling exercise the hole is still not filled up !!! and half of the road is still not fit for use !

MTS men blocked the road for a day, just to pore 2 or 3 "mati" trallies ! .... Doh !

Cla at the book market.

Jardin Rosa-Mir, La Croix-Rousse. The extraordinary work of a single man.

L'Odéon, a small theatre next to the bigger Roman Theatre.
This two theatres are on the hill of Fourvière.

Hi dear owner, if you ever think of selling your home, contact me.

Ruins of a roman spa in the backyard... not bad.

Wait wait wait wait, NOW!

Matthieu Bore Quartet, at the Péristyle.

The Roman Theatre. I used to go there in the morning and study math.
Slightly better than the Rhône as a place to study math, but most of the times I studied the theatre itself.

Cla.

The Roman Theatre, again. What can I say? I like it.

The picture is awful, I shot too quickly when I was still moving, but I did because I feared I could miss the moment. I was making photos around the theatre and when the men saw me, one of them pulled up his shirt and started dancing. There were them working (and dancing) and me laughing and clapping hands. The main act for that day at the theatre!

A better picture, with a part of the Musée Gallo-Romain emerging from the slope. By the way, the museum was built by Bernard Zehrfuss (maybe more famous for its pavillion at La Défense), I visited it and I must say its a great architecture.

From Lyon... c'est tout.

Travelling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said

Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscle
I said, do you speak-a my language
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said

I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty
And he said

Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover

(Cause we are)
Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover

The truck was going slower than idle, one man was out front pulling a hose and spraying things in the road, there were two men in back with hoses and a third who just walked behind them.  He didn't have a ringleader hat on, but I assume he was the boss.  There might have even been another guy walking for good measure...who knows.  I think only air came out of the hoses since the road didn't look wet. 

Do they clean the road before they paint?  Resurface?  Whatever they did didn't make sense because no paint truck followed behind.   The orange cones are just sitting in the road, where they have been for a couple of hours now...

This post details the latest in a series of discs I put together for my listening pleasure. They contain songs meant to make you move, or move you... or both if you're lucky. This one spans the years 1976-1983. I'll start with the tracklisting before moving on to some commentary on each song.

-------------------------------------------------------
01. "Beat Surrender" - The Jam [1982]

Before Paul Weller left the band for Style Council and a still-running solo career, he gave us this last Jam single in late '82.

02. "Heart Of The City" - Nick Lowe [1976]

One side of the first single (paired with "So It Goes") on the venerable Stiff Records label.

03. "So Good To See You" - Cheap Trick [1977]

Their first 4 albums are full of power pop gems like this one from the second LP In Color.

04. "Identity" - X-Ray Spex [1978]

Dig that saxophone! One of a great run of singles from Poly Styrene and the gang; also on Germfree Adolescents.

05. "Homosapien" - Pete Shelley [1981]

The title track to Shelley's first solo album after The Buzzcocks' first breakup.

06. "Away From Home" - Klark Kent [1980]

Klark Kent was actually a pseudonym for Stewart Copeland, whose main gig at the time of this release was as the drummer for The Police. Try to imagine Sting committing something this frivolous and fun to wax. Never gonna happen.

07. "Reel By Reel" - XTC [1979]

From XTC's third album Drums And Wires, the first that succeeds from beginning to end. Andy Partridge really came into his own at this point, finally coming up with the melodies to match his witty and often insightful lyrics.

08. "The Walls Came Down" - The Call [1983]

From Modern Romans. I don't know what Michael Been is singing about here, but it sure sounds serious. Reagan's Cold War is as good a guess as any. Back then, I just liked the insistent guitar line.

09. "So Young" - Elvis Costello & The Attractions [rec. 1979, rel. 1987]

It is a shame that EC can't stand Bruce Thomas, because he will never have a bass player that good again. Even on a track like this that was recorded in '79 but not deemed worthy of release until 1987's Out Of Our Idiot odds-n-ends compilation. The bass is the lead instrument in the verses. Not too many outside of Entwistle could be that muscular and melodic at the same time.

10. "Candy-O" - The Cars [1979]

The Cars' second album, of which this is the title track, showcases the darker side of Ric Ocasek. The songs are of course still pure pop. The chorus on this particular tune is all paranoid longing with a Bo Diddley beat.

11. "Walking Out On Love" - The Beat [1979]

They get in and get out in under 2 minutes so you'll need to hit the "back" button a few times.

12. "Ain't That Nothin'" (45 version) - Television [1978]

Yes, Marquee Moon is way better than Adventure, the album that this song was drawn from. But this track, with its ringing guitars, could have held its own on the debut.

13. "Everywhere That I'm Not" - Translator [1982]

From Heartbeats And Triggers. You're everywhere that I'm not...it can seem like this when dealing with unrequited love.

14. "In My Own Time" - The Three O'Clock [1983]

They were lumped in with the Paisley Underground in early '80s Los Angeles, but there is nothing vaguely psychedelic about this one from The Three O'Clock. Rather than harkening back to Sgt. Pepper and his ilk, the band were more in tune with 1965-1966 pop sensibilities. This one from their first full length Sixteen Tambourines features lead singer Michael Quercio's impossibly high voice (the first time I heard their song "Jet Fighter" I was convinced the lead singer was female) and a honking saxophone.

15. "Hold On To Something" - Great Buildings [1981]

Where can I find more Great Buildings? This is sublime.

16. "Tomorrow Night" - Shoes [1979]

Zion, Illinois' very own Shoes!

17. "Girls Talk" - Dave Edmunds [1979]

On this track from his Repeat When Necessary LP, Edmunds polishes the rough edges from a song Costello ended up relegating to a B-side, but leaves the double meanings intact. "You may not be an old-fashioned girl but you're gonna get dated".

18. "Tell That Girl To Shut Up" - Holly & The Italians [1980]

Cat fight! It's inclusion here, though, is due entirely to the harmonies on the chorus...

19. "Girl U Want" - Devo [1980]

Those of you beaten into submission by countless airings of "Whip It" (no disrepect) will appreciate the squirrely beat and catchy guitar figure on this one from Freedom Of Choice. Strangely, Soundgarden covered this one.

20. "I Love A Man In A Uniform" - Gang Of Four [1982]

From Songs Of The Free. A rousing tongue-in-cheek song about those that lust for battle. A slew of these songs were released in this period (XTC's "Generals And Majors", Men At Work's "It's A Mistake", The Police's "Bombs Away" to name three), probably enough for a compilation all their own. It would be essential listening for those that think the eighties were just about cocaine and Rubik's Cubes. By the way, you should feel free to use Cocaine And Rubik's Cubes as an album title.

21. "New Feeling" - Talking Heads [1977]

David Byrne and company's first album, Talking Heads: 77, is so musically spacious. The room was needed to give Byrne's claustrophic lyrics free reign. As interesting as the band's later experiments with world rhythms would be, I think I come back to this album even more.

22. "I Could Be Happy" - Altered Images [1981]

I love Clare Grogan's vocal on this bittersweet ballad.

23. "Not So Much The Time" - The Records [1982]

Meanings misinterpreted. Easy enough to do in any relationship, but when long distances are involved, it's just that much harder. From Music On Both Sides.

24. "What Do All The People Know" - The Monroes [1982]

This is the only song I've heard from The Monroes, but it's just as catchy now as it was in '82.

25. "On Your Radio" - Joe Jackson [1979]

This track leads off Jackson's second album I'm The Man. An interesting riposte to everyone who's ever pissed him off - "you can only hope to hear me on your radio". We should all be so lucky.

I'm really running low on stupid brollies now. Please send any you see that have not yet been featured to umumbrellas@googlemail.com. Thanks x

Now, those of you that have been following this blog for a while were probably expecting my theme for this post. After all, if nothing else, I love balance, and after dedicating a post to Evil, I have to dedicate one to Good to maintain my Chaotic Neutral status.

Even if those idiots at Wizards of the Coast don't think it's a real alignment anymore. :(

Good Vibrations - Beach Boys

Perhaps this is my California upbringing showing, but I think the Beach Boys have done some great music. And, you've got to admit this song is unmistakable. Gives me a similar feeling to Simon & Garfunkel's "Feeling Groovy", really, but there's enough time to explore why I like a good number of Simon & Garfunkel songs (despite some people not considering it cool) at a later time.

Good Lovin' - Bobby McFerrin

All right, this is just so hyper and strange I had to include it. A song that required no less then 5 Bobby McFerrin's. I couldn't help cracking up during this. He's so shamelessly playing the whole thing up; it's brilliant.

Be Good Johnny - Men At Work

I always liked this song, and I'm not totally sure why. Probably for the same anti-authoritarian type themes that govern Supertramp's "Bloody Well Right" & "School", and Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall", all three of which I love.

And now that I've thought about it, don't be surprised if I post youtube videos of those three songs in the near future... :)

What A Good Boy - Barenaked Ladies

Another song I love; Not that I usually play music I don't like here or anything. And I've previously expressed how much I like Barenaked Ladies. This song, for me, is one of these songs that I hear enough of myself in that I have to love it.

Because, really, the song is all about labels being hung on you, and being afraid to break away from them, but being afraid to let them define your life. At least, that's how I interpret the lyrics.

And people don't really realize how horrible and suffocating it can be to be the good one, the smart one, and have that to live up to. It's as bad as labeling them as bad or stupid, in its way. But then, all labels are bad, and words are your minds way of pigeonholing the universe, and everything in it.

In fact, that is what Zen is all about, for the curious. Getting to a state where you just see the world, without seeing a rock, a stick, a tree, a jerk cutting through traffic, etc. Easy to grasp, hard to do.

Not sure how I got to Zen from Barenaked Ladies, but both topics interest me... :)

Et dans le but de faire le lien le plus mauvais de l'histoire de l'humanité, voici une toune de Men at Work. Je mets aussi un cover que j'ai entendu beaucoup plus souvent dans mon adolescence faite par Pennywise :

Men at Work - Land Down Under

Travelling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?
And he said,

Oh! do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

The Konami Code, known in Japan as the Konami Command (コナミコマンド, Konami Komando), is a cheat code thats appears in many Konami video games. The code also appears in some non-Konami games. The code was first used in the 1986 release of Gradius for the Nintendo Entertainment System but was made famous in North America in the NES version of Contra. While pausing the game or during the title screen, the player presses the following sequence of buttons on the game controller:

↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A

In tribute to the Konami code, here is the mixtape for this week:

Dat Politics - Up Up down Ok !
Stars - Look Up
The Arcade Fire - Wake Up
Men At Work - Down Under
David Bazan's Black Cloud - Let Down
Air - Left Bank
The Decemberists - Red Right Ankle
Zero 7 - left behind
Elliott Smith - Half Right
British Sea Power - Oh Larsen B
Justice - D.A.N.C.E
Voxtrot - The Start Of Something

He's been mistaken for a lot of people over the years: one of the Village People, Sting, and Al Bundy.

"Sting," he scoffed. "Oh, look at my yoga shoulders. He's done a lot of Down Dog, that one has."

It'd be a shame though if he went on tour without the guitar, funny as he is, because his reincarnation as an acoustic singer has yielded some beautiful, tender songs about love, longing, and cold places like Glasgow.

When his record company dropped him 20 years ago, he went the acoustic route as an interim gig. "Yeah, and here we are," he said.

Hay's a masterful songwriter who packs his songs with dense lyrics and simple rhymes that tell sweet stories of people and places. The song "Overkill" made a resurgence with his appearance in a Scrubs episode awhile back in which he follows J.D. around strumming the guitar, a twist that highlighted the music that's usually relegated to the background. Very postmodern, that.

Hay described how a guy at a show once came up and said, "Just play the song about the goats, mate." Hay thought it over and launched into "Overkill" which includes the line: "Ghosts appear and fade away." "The guy thought it was about goats," Hay said, shaking his head. "It never occurred to him to question it."

He sang brilliant scaled-down versions of "Who Can it Be Now?" and "Down Under" blending in his new stuff like the mournful "I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You," featured on the Garden State soundtrack. He'll be touring with Ringo this summer ("a step up from my minivan tour") trying to recapture the heights he reached with Men at Work, but he's clearly at his best in an intimate venue with a guitar and his charm.
