YouTube music videos where the artist leaves a comment

Not youtube, but also one for the "obvious shit you should have known (though perhaps didn't really think about it..." thread:

Kathy Sledge (notable house vocalist) was once in Sister Sledge

And still is, by all accounts:cool:

 
this is basically the best album. I love it so much.

Did you hear that EP of demos from Alison Statton's post-YMG band Weekend that Blackest Ever Black put out a few years ago? Much better than the Weekend album, which is a bit jazzy...
I did not, i will find now though. Ta.
 
I stumbled across this clip of a moderately amusing evangelical christian documentary 'hells bells' about satanic music, focussed on coil, c93, psychic tv etc, in which they take it all a bit too seriously. gpo seemed to like it though.

Genesis BREYER P-ORRIDGE '' The problem with closed minded people, is that their mouth is always open". Also, instead of calling you eloquent, he called you articulate.

ioannis eleftheriou we said he called me articulate. Here's the conundrum. If we mention Crowley, Spare in an essay or interview as an ILLUSTRATION they claim we are fans, obsessed etc with " satanist"'. But they use the same names in THEIR texts etc but do NOT label themselves satanist. We have a problem with that word '"satanist" as we know it's an amalgamation of various pagan deities cobbled together and then assigned incredible powers and myths... we don't believe in "Satan". Though. We can get behind the Process Church's proposal that " HUMANITY ISBTHE DEVIL"...for devil swap out for Satan ...

June Millington from Fanny comments on this clip, mostly just to say that her sister had a stroke unfortunately.

 
Not a music comments but a TV one - Youtube keeps suggesting clips from the Wire - putting this in a spoiler in case anyone doesnt want a Wire reveal

Am late to the party but am impressed with Run the Jewels...

we shot this video only a few weeks before the pandemic hit with no clue as to what the future held. the fact that we got the chance to do it is damn near miraculous in hindsight.

in conceptualizing the video with our friends Brian and Vanessa Beletic we imagined the world on the day that the age old struggle of class was finally over. a day that humanity, empathy and community were victorious over the forces that would separate us based on arbitrary systems created by man.

this video is a fantasy of waking up on a day that there is no monetary system, no dividing line, no false construct to tell our fellow man that they are less or more than anyone else. not that people are without but that the whole meaning of money has vanished. that we have somehow solved our self created caste system and can now start fresh with love, hope and celebration. its a dream of humanity’s V-DAY… and the party we know would pop off. love, RTJ


 
El-p has been going around and posting on a bunch of rtj4 reaction videos. Usually just a thanks but he turned up for a while in at least one live stream
 
Early rave classic here with singer Dionne responding to my enthusiastic comment on the track Come get my Lovin. (extra points for this surely)

I say early rave classic but I had never heard it until a couple of weeks ago. But it just hits the buttons and has superb production on the beats and synths. Also features beautiful footage of some early Ibiza raves and parties from 1988. I wonder if anybody remembers it or knows of it.

 
DA put a single out in 1979, Ready'n'Steady. It got on Billboard's 'Bubbling Under' chart and then disappeared. For years no one could find a copy and it was thought that it didn't actually exist. From wikipedia:

Music historian Joel Whitburn, whose company Record Research Inc. specializes in researching the Billboard charts, has published various books containing chart data. He has collected tens of thousands of records, including all of the 45s ever to hit the Hot 100 or Bubbling Under charts—all except "Ready 'n' Steady".

In a 1995 interview, Whitburn said he had never actually seen or heard the record, but added, "We think—we think—that it's a girl's rock group from Chicago. Punk group, we think—1979. And we think that the Rascal label was out of a guy's home in Detroit." Whitburn had found a small ad for a Rascal label located in Detroit in a punk rock publication and had the address checked out; unfortunately, all that was found was a boarded-up vacant house.[4] The entry in Billboard shows "Ready 'n' Steady" had a catalog number of 102; if there was a Rascal 101 released, it remains unknown to collectors.

A female-fronted punk rock group from Chicago called DA! were active in the early 1980s. The band released a single and an EP on the Autumn Records label in 1981–82. This is presumably the band that Whitburn thought (as of the 1995 interview) could have recorded "Ready 'n' Steady" in 1979; the band has stated that they did not record the song.[5]

In the fourth edition of Whitburn's Bubbling Under the Hot 100 book, published in 2005, the entry for "D. A." was amended with a note stating, "The existence of this record and artist is in question", and quotes a price of $150 as its value; in 2009, Whitburn published his latest Top Pop Singles book, which includes both Hot 100 and Bubbling Under singles—but D. A. was not listed at all. In an interview with the website CelebrityAccess, Whitburn noted he still had not been able to find "Ready 'n' Steady" and said, "I don't think it exists".[6] Whitburn also thought that the song's listing on the chart could have been a copyright trap by Billboard
.

Then in 2016 someone found a copy and put it on YouTube:


And then in 2018 band member and co-writer Jim Franks turned up and made a few posts in the comments:

~ 33k views? my deceased partner and meself are truly humbled.This the real song,somewhat surprised most of you nice folks like it,at least we weren't doing disco

~ thanks for your interest. Dean Revello drums,Ira Walker Bass,Stu Blank Piano, Jim Franks Guitar, Dennis Luchessi Voc Meredith Lucchesi voc,don't remember other singers.Joe Tarantino engineer.

~ Hi, I did an interview with Paul and Ron on a second crap from the past show. We played 3 more songs from our early collaborations,which I thought were way better tunes. We did about 10 tunes on that endless project! Enjoy

~ the masters were thrown away by D A's daughter, after he passed. we were never able to finish the endless project. screwy story

Run The Jewls. Rap duo who release their albums for free and not only are ok with people playing their music during review they even comment on them. This was them showing fan videos on their official channel.

RTJ are pretty cool.

oh them, yeah. Saw one half of them make an impassioned speech last year after violence and protests in his hometown. Wasn't so much into their sound though.
