"Movie Star" by Roisin Murphy

A truly outrageous video for this bit of great pop from Ms. Murphy.

  3. John: I bet you've *participated* in a few nights like this!

    Meaghan: Is Roisin popular at all in the States? I'd recommend her last album OVERPOWERED, from whence this track comes.

  4. I will check that out, thank you! Neat she lived in Manchester for a time. I don't think she is that well known in the US.

  5. I hope you're listening to some Manchester bands these days! The Smiths? Oasis?

  6. Oasis, The Verve, The Bee Gees, Davy Jones ... Not exclusively but I have heard them. Many thanks to Wikipedia.

    I have listened to some Kate Bush, Delays and Cocteau Twins thanks to suggestions from another music fan. I admit to having almost zero musical knowledge but thanks to the kindess of strangers my ears have had plenty of wonderful things to listen to.

  7. It's always exciting to discover new stuff! I still haven't heard any Cocteau Twins, though I'm always meaning to check them out.

    One more Manchester band recommendation: Elbow. Love their album THE SELDOM SEEN KID!
