So whachoo make of this act? Deliberate recall of Darryl Hall, with a dollop of Simon LeBon and a lot of Motown soul.

Wow, I was just listening to that today and thinking about posting it here. I didn't think of Hall & Oates, but that's a good connection. Definitely soulful with a nice horn section.

Trumping Oates would actually be a much better band name than Fitz and the Tantrums. Seriously, who wants to be associated with tantrums?

I think the guys name is Fitzgerald or something. I dunno, if I saw that name on the sign outside a bar, I might walk right in, figuring that was a band out to entertain me.

Not really sure on which end of the rock spectrum to put Dragon. What I do know is that they're from NZ and they did a shitload of drugs which may explain why three of them dropped like flies. In the US they're famous for nearly inciting a riot in Dallas. This is from '77 -

Great soul arrangement, but his existential post-punk gothguy voice doesn't quite stay afloat on it, does it? It kind of sounds like the demo version that the songwriter sings on to pitch his song to the A&R guy representing the better singer. (i say because this is how my tracks come out.)

WAPP was a strange phenomenon in NY radio. Born over the summer, taking over 103.5 from soft rock pioneers WTFM (booo!), they existed as a third rock option just beyond WBAB and WNEW, but born at the dawn of MTV, they weren't anchored in the Beatles/Stones/Zep/Who Mount Rushmore of classic rock, and drew their playlist largely from rock artists breaking then on MTV --- artists that the classick rock establishment really weren't sure what to do with.

The other new album that came out this week was Mike Doughty's "Yes And Also Yes." Mike's been kinda schizophrenic over his career too; his last album was mostly him and a guitar and was kinda bland, which was too bad because his live stuff with just him and a guitar (like "Busking," which he recorded in a NYC subway tunnel) is actually pretty cool. But "YAAY" brings back the na-nas and the full instrumentation, and whereas it's not entirely as neat as "Haughty Melodic," which is brilliant.

Glen Campbell was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's and this last album and accompanying "Goodbye Tour" has a kind of Warren Zevon "The Wind"/Cash "Man Comes Around" feel to it. He's a great singer and guitar player.
