Lloyd Cole & The Commotions / Rattlesnakes (1984); Das Album kombiniert eingängige Melodien mit tiefgründigen, oft melancholischen Texten, die von Cole's charakteristischem Gesang getragen werden. Die Songs sind geprägt von einer Mischung aus Folk, Rock und New Wave, wobei der Titeltrack „Rattlesnakes“ und „Perfect Skin“ besonders hervorstechen. #LloydCole #LloydColeAndTheCommotions #NewWave #PopRock #IndiePop #IndieRock #BritPop

Tonight, my dear Fediverse friends, I switch to English in order to create a thread containing quotes from lyrics by the one and only #LloydCole

Why, you might ask? Because he is simply wonderful, thats why.

Okay, in the list of "songs that will instantly take me back 40 years and leave me wobbly and wondering 'what-if'..."

I did not expect this one to do it.

But wow.

Where did *that* rush of emotion come from?

Song of the Day - No 66

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions - Lost Weekend

WIKI
Released in 1985. It's a melancholic yet upbeat tune with lyrics that reflect on the feeling of being lost and searching for direction in life. The song's jangling guitars and memorable chorus have made it a staple of 80s indie pop. Over the years, it has received critical acclaim and has been included in numerous "best of" lists.

Today's #PopQuiz answer

1 Period Piece by #LloydCole
2 Kreuzberg by #BlocParty
3 Heroes by #DavidBowie

All songs reference the Berlin Wall

Lloyd Cole’s whole song is from the wall's perspective - ‘born 1961 just like you/155,000 meters - neither straight or true”

Bloc Party - “there is a wall that runs right through me/Just like this city”

Bowie famously sings about a couple kissing against the wall while the guns shot above their head

@knittedhippo answered correctly

Lloyd Cole, as in and the Commotions, is 62 today, so here's a #postcard showing Glasgow University, where he studied Law and Philosophy and met his future bandmates.

Typed on the back of the card: "On a wet day one dives in here, when going from one class to another"

Next up on the #gig #AdventCalendar

In March we had a little trip to #Paris the city of light, the city of romance. We went to the Bataclan to see a favourite musician of mine #LloydCole who did an acoustic set of 30 years of hits. He was joined by ex-Commotions' guitarist Neil Clark.

Did any of you see #LiveMusic or #FavouriteBands this year?
