  6. 🇬🇧 Pretenders "The Singles" – 1987

    A reminder of just how lethal The Pretenders were in their Prime. Pure pop instinct with punk attitude, carried by Chrissie Hynde’s cool, cutting voice...

  7. #AI #Research Okay #community #builders. Time to run some intelligence. I do not have time to black box observe and figure it out. I want to know who the trolls are that are better #pretenders. I've started to discover what look a little bit like mini-me's There is an overlap level that means troll.

If you live in #Hackney and *really* like either #TheSmiths, #Blur, #TheCranberries, #KaiserChiefs, #Babyshambles, #Courteeners, #StephenDuffy, The mighty lemon drops, #Triffids, #Pretenders, #Sleeper, #Suede, #NewOrder or #TheZutons then you should email your councillors to have a highway named Stephen Street Street after the producer of the above acts.
    It would both recognise an artist who was born in Hackney according to Wikipedia, as well as obviously being funny, and also increase tourism

  18. One of the greatest albums of all time is 45 years old today. Years ago, I wrote about my love for @thepretendershq's first album in a post titled "In Hynde Sight" included as a chapter in Throwing Out Love Notes available at eBook sellers worldwide.

  19. Various Artists, A Very Special Christmas, 1987 on A&M

    Long before Maria’s “All I Want For Christmas” came this wonderful compilation to benefit Special Olympics International with a whos-who of mid-late 80s artists covering holiday songs:

    • The Pointer Sisters – Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
    • Eurythmics – Winter Wonderland
    • Whitney Houston – Do You Hear What I Hear
    • Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band – Merry Christmas Baby
    • The Pretenders – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
    • John Cougar Mellencamp – I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
    • Sting – Gabriel’s Message
    • Run-DMC – Christmas in Hollis
    • U2 – Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
    • Madonna – Santa Baby
    • Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band – The Little Drummer Boy
    • Bryan Adams – Run Rudolph Run
    • Bon Jovi – Back Door Santa
    • Alison Moyet – The Coventry Carol
    • Stevie Nicks – Silent Night

    This is holiday music I can get behind – though Christmas in Hollis does have a certain earworm quality I still love it. Artwork by Keith Haring, of course.

    My copy via Beverly Coin & Jewelry. Different versions exist with black vs gold lettering on the cover, and with green/red on different side labels.

  24. As I madly prep (by which I mean reams of last minute paperwork) for heading to the Ross Ice Shelf the snow is a good reminder. Doubt Chrissy will pop up from behind some random sastrugi but I live in hope.

  27. "Back on the Chain Gang" is a song written by #ChrissieHynde and originally recorded by her band the #Pretenders, and released as a single by #SireRecords in September 1982. The song also was released on #TheKingOfComedy soundtrack album in March 1983 and later was included on the Pretenders' next album, #LearningToCrawl, in January 1984. "Back on the Chain Gang" entered the #Billboard charts in early October 1982, then reached No. 5 on the #Hot100.

  28. Hat die Frau ein Organ! Ich habe das Konzert einer Hammer-Live-Band erlebt, die vor 40 (!) Jahren nicht besser gewesen sein kann. Gut, dass ihr mich überzeugt habt. #ChrissieHynde hat hervorragende Musiker für ihre #Pretenders gefunden, die insgesamt härter klingen als früher. Das kleine #Columbiatheater hatte übrigens eine deutlich bessere Tonqualität als diese Verti MusicHall neulich. Um das Erinnerungsfoto für den #Konzertkalender musste ich jemanden bitten, der mehr Überblick hatte als ich.

  29. #FortnightFridayMusic
    Sept 22 2023
    The prompt is “Sex”
    #Pretenders “Private Life” from their eponymous debut, 1979

    Lyric:
    “Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death
    You've made a desperate appeal, now save your breath
    Attachment to obligation through guilt and regret
    Shit that's so wet
    And your sex life complications are not my fascinations”

    This is arguably the slinkiest song ever to be coaxed along a #reggae beat, owing in large part to #ChrissieHynde's haughty yet sultry vocals on the Pretenders’ groundbreaking debut album.

    #GraceJones' trademark deadpan delivery over the killer track laid down by the tight Compass Point Studio house band is more dismissive, yet no less stunning, in her cover on her iconic album #WarmLeatherette. These are both women who have no time for your nonsense; your sex life complications are indeed not their fascinations.

    Which version is better? ...Can perfection happen twice?
